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.

I mean, it is also designed to collapse the US economy too.
But yeah. Trudeau's speech is 100% essential listening. It is so rare that a politician just tells it like it is and he completely did.
A link to that would be appreciated.
You're in the comments of this link asking for a link
That's just nonsense, the "link" in question was the speech by Trudeau.
"This" link is an article about it. Obviously the 2 are not the same thing.
I already answered I skimmed the article, and didn't see a link to the full speech. With these things links to short cutouts are not uncommon. And instead of EVERYBODY wasting time looking for it, I politely asked for the link.
I personally try to ALWAYS provide a link if I have it, for convenience in similar situations.
Google it, and get me a beer while you're at it.
https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=trudeau+march+4+2025+speech
Or just click the article this topic is for which has an embed?
Cool, more assholes from reddit
Idk why you are getting downvoted, the speech is right in the article. People are lazy and expect shit to be handed to them even when the answer is one click away (the article).
Part of it is that I made the mistake of implying anyone should EVER read an article rather than just spamming memes and non sequitors based off keywords in the topic title. Why discuss current events when you can instead spam comments that you know will get you some precious gamefaqs karma?
But mostly it is highlighting how completely internet illiterate people are at this point. EVERYONE hates AI and The Everything Apps and what reddit/twitter/instagram (but never tiktok. tiktok is love. tiktok is life) shows them and so forth. But the moment you suggest that someone can control what they see or seek out information on their own? The (almost) decades of training and conditioning kicks in and people are just unreasonable for implying anything other than what the internet and the totally humans we are talking to shows us.
Which is especially frustrating when we are already seeing ai/deepfake driven discourse is accomplishing. It really is fucking terrifying that the response was that I am "full of shit" for implying an article about a topic might have an embed of the speech in question but also that there would be blind trust if I just linked to a random youtube.
I probably should have been nicer and not done the LMGTFY. But it was worth it just to watch someone's mind be blown because they had apparently never seen an LMGTFY shitpost before. And also... my general stance is that people who are willfully and aggressively ignorant deserve no respect. More flies with honey but... the flies are already morbidly obese diabetics so maybe a bit less honey is called for.
Yeah I thought that was just reddit, but we do it over here too. Stupid thing is, the "karma" or whatever it's called on Lemmy isn't even displayed, so it doesn't do shit anyway.
I mean, maybe? I think if all the downvoters understood that the content in question was right there in the article, they would have been on your side. Instead, they just pile on and call you a meanie. Meh.
I looked but couldn't find it.
Your stupid link also doesn't work, shows an animation of a search without any result???
Thanks for being arrogant about it though.
Edit:
Oh the stupid page doesn't work in dark mode, and you have to wait for the idiotic animation: 🤡
I was politely asking for the link, no need for this bullshit!
You were the one who claimed it's a must see, and then not provide the link to see it!!!
...
The point of LMGTFY is to obnoxiously remind someone that they are on an internet box and can easily find things themselves. The animation is actively meant to shame people into understanding just how much of their time and everyone else's they waste when they ask for a link to something trivial.
Also, again: The video is embedded in the article this thread is about.
Look, I get it: The pleasure box in our hands is fun and The Algorithm tells us everything we might ever need. But you REALLY should learn basic internet literacy if you want to function in this post-truth world.
Nah, I'm pretty sure the point of LMGTFY is to identify yourself as an obnoxious asshole.
If you couldn't be bothered providing a link then you could've just not responded.
It would've been easy enough to just link whatever you were looking at.
Instead you went out of your way to make the person asking feel silly.
You wrote specifically yourself that this was a MUST SEE!
then you want everybody who takes you up on it to search for it, Instead of you providing a link.
The one that was lazy here was you, and not me for asking politely, for that exact reason.
....
We are in a thread about the speech. The article this links to has the entirety of the speech embedded in it.
Shit like this is still useful: please understand. Not ALL of America is racist (well.. a lot of us are). Most are just REALLY FUCKING STUPID and completely broken by algorithm driven content. And other countries? You aren't far behind. Fix your shit before you are as screwed as we are.
So please tell me where in that article is the link to a video of the full speech?
Because I skimmed it again, and I still can't find it!!!
It has 7 big photos, and is 5 pages on my monitor. It may be there, or you may be full of shit IDK, and honestly, I don't even care, because you are obviously too dense to get the point.
Right here
Thanks, 👍
For some reason it doesn't have the play logo in the center or lower left corner, as videos usually do, which is why I missed it skimming.
The "play" logo is clearly visible on your screenshot, but not here with dark mode.
Good. Now watch it and go apologize to https://lemmy.zip/u/NuXCOM_90Percent for being an asshat about it.
