World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yeah... this and other organizations concluded that he didn't perform a nazi salute.... so what's the deal? Why are so many sources still saying he did nazi salute?
Right after he did that, he said, "My heart goes out to you." And later denied again.
Why such a smear campaign?
Do you have a source for him denying it?
I saw lots of deflection and incredulity at "liberals" who thought it was a Nazi salute, but I didn't actually see any denial.
He won't deny it. Not because he's not willing to lie, but because he's actively courting the support of Nazis.
You really have to be fucking brainwashed to believe that shit. HE DID IT TWICE IN A ROW THE EXACT SAME WAY
Not only did he do it twice in a row the same exact way, but he did a Nazi salute in the exact same manner as Adolf Hitler did and modern neo-nazis do. Zero chance that it was a mistake, it was obviously intentional.
No one can tell me that my eyes didn't see a Nazi salute when they did see it as plain as day.
What's REALLY fucked up is that people like you are still defending a Nazi salute. You are a Nazi apologist.
Don’t believe your lying eyes people

Just FYI. Also, notice the date. It's 10 months old and they updated the thumbnail because of how obviously correct they were. Elon Musk was born white and rich in apartheid era south Africa. His family migrated there from Canada after ww2 specifically because the race dynamics at the time. He openly touts blatantly eugenic ideology, fathers 12 children and freezes his sperm because of that ideology. Him doing a nazi salute and making nazi jokes in the aftermath is him just waving his dick around because he knows there's an army of fucking empty headed dumb fucks that will defend him.
I know what I saw. Not all of us suffer from MAGA brain rot.
Also, it's pretty wild that absolutely zero effort has been made "correcting" all the actual card-carrying nazis who celebrate every major action that Musk makes, from restoring their accounts on social media to boosting their memes and messages for years now. There's clips out there of people with swastika tattoos sieg-heiling recordings of Musk's "awkward gesture" and they look exactly the same.
Tell us again how we shouldn't trust our own eyes. I think there was a book somewhere that talked about this. I'd recommend looking into it.
Many sources are saying he did a nazi salute because, wait for it... He did a nazi salute.
Because most people learned the fucking lesson that there is ZERO justification. Inexcusable even as a mistake for someone in that position no matter how he got there, and inexcusable to dismiss it.
What "lesson"? So, even if unintentional, any salute even similar to the nazi salute should call for condemnation?
The mainstream media are pushing this hard as hell, just raking Elon over the coals.
So many here have lost the plot
Elon should have been removed from any sort of power years ago for his shit behavior. All condemnation coming his way is well deserved.
Yes! If it resembles a sieg heil it should be condemned!
You forgot to blame it on his self-diagnosed autism.
If someone takes a shit in your mouth and tells you it was a birthday cake, will you trust them just because they're an "organization?" Jesus christ and you people call others "cucks" it drives me batty but you long since abandoned value to intellectual consistency when you started hoisting madmen and wealthy landlords as somehow better than other people.
It's amazing for a group that says all day long that they're "free thinkers" there sure are a lot of people with mouths full of shit smiling because they've been told it's birthday cake and they're such special, good boys.
Obvious bait
