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.

Is this something that can happen? Like, realistically?
If you've been paying attention over the last 2 weeks, literally anything can happen at any time. We live in the age of miracles and horrors.
Have you read the article?
TL;DR: I wouldn’t bet on it
A conservative US owned newspaper may have some bias.
I see you haven’t read the article either, because otherwise you’d know that it doesn’t even answer the question directly, but instead goes to great lengths theorizing about every possible outcome, no matter how unlikely it is.
The TL;DR was my own opinion, but if you actually make it through this piece, I’m fairly sure you’ll agree.
No
Things like that seem to take years. Meanwhile in any sane world you’d expect US to return to sanity in four years
Anybody who believes that Trump will tolerate any 2028-election to toss him out from power .. is foolish.
Sorry, but it's true.
The 2024-election was the FINAL chance the Dems had, & the fluffed themselves in their Hopium, & when it failed, they make-believe that they're somehow going to be "allowed" to take the country back, later??
Idiocy.
It's too late.
Construct survival in the actual remaining-context, & then US Civil War Part2 ( which should begin around 2028, -/+ 1y ) will be more-survivable.
Remain within Hopium, & .. getting butchered in the coming tsunami-of-violence in North America becomes starkly more-likely.
I'd prefer people be realists, & survive..
Kaizen,

That already happened four years ago. Since then there has been an insurrection, women has lost rights and a former President was convicted of fraud and was indicted for many more crimes. The American people voted that criminal into power despite knowing all of that. The US got a taste of sanity and decided they didn't like that and chose batshit insanity.
rather, the male-supremacists & the passive-white-supremacists voted against Harris, handing the victory to Trump.
The Dems living-in-Hopium, Biden hanging-on-too-long, gutting Harris's opportunity, etc, didn't help any, but the root on-the-ground-truth, is that no boomers, nor any machos, were voting for any nonwhite woman president, & that swung the votes FAR harder than the left-press was willing to believe.
G-D itself sees, its law ( what a Soul/Continuum sows, that-specific-Soul/Continuum reaps, no matter what, still is Universal LAW, though, so .. this world chose to "blow its brains out" through its anti-accountability/anti-responsibility addiction, & that is going to be playing-out through the rest of this century, until it's all done ) sees/enforces objectively, so no-matter-what-believers-pretend, objectivity's getting enforced.
Objectivity is the single "religion" that all ideologies/prejudices/"religions" prohibit from being valid.
Who's bigger: Universe or collective-human-ignorance??
Natural Selection's going to display the truth..
Universe moves-on, & if we won't grow-up, then we haven't any place left in Universe.
Show me ANY faction who holds that truth to be their center?
Just as a herd of herdbeasts who stampede off a cliff don't get Universe's "undoing" that, so they can have a special extra-chance .. we don't either.
Countless worlds, strewn through coundless universes-of-this-kind, in an endless-stream..
Our narcissism is the root-problem: "God revolves around us: God is going to glorify us, God exempted us ( only this-faction! ) from having to grow-up! We only have to be making-believing!"
is humankind's most-normal answer.
Ever tried arguing with a junkie who's nearly-dead, about saving their life instead of taking more "junk"?
Humankind's behaving like that junkie..
Sometimes you just have to let-go, witness, & move-on..

I think you may have internalized some of the "male-supremacist" rhetoric yourself.
In your wall of text you're showing a tendency to blame everything on Harris, while you seemingly consider Trump the default choice. Why is that? Why did Harris have to earn your vote while Trump didn't?
To join the European Union the country must be located in Europe. I don't think Canada will fill up this criteria.
French Guyana would like a word! Maybe we should just join an already existing European country.
Declare war on, say, France, immediately surrender and become a part of the EU.
Apparently it's super easy to change the maps. If the Gulf of Mexico can be renamed, we can rename the top half of North America to West Europe.
Saint Pierre and Miquelon is part of the EU and 19km off the coast of Canada.
It's totally a technicality but we share a land border with Denmark via Greenland. It's literally just a rock cut in half in the middle of the Arctic but it counts! (Hans Island)
You've just identified that Canada needs Greenland to not separate from Denmark, XOR we've lost our opportunity!
: p
Move around some tectonic plates and they'll be here in no time. (Canadians, you might want to get under a sturdy table for this one.)
