-
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.
-
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.

What? care to elucidate us on this?
According to Russia, anyone critical or in opposition to Russia is a Nazi.
Sounds kinda like a fascist take on foreign policy, but really is there any actual info about this source being some sort of spawn of evil?
There is not. It‘s simply a strongly pro-Ukrainian website. Russian official propaganda and our tankies call everything that is critical of Russia‘s aggression „Nazism“ or „Fascism“. It is projection in its finest form, and borderline Orwellian.
The two words have lost all meaning in Russian propaganda and are simply used as a placeholder for „enemy“. They don’t seem to realize how absurd that makes them sound.
Well yeah, that is why I called the practice fascist. But I really want them to explain in great detail, it is a great joy to watch the gymnastics.
The only gymnastics here are happening in your head.
Kinda lame gymnastics then, I am still really interested in how this source is associated with the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
That's just you burying your head in the sand and not wanting to listen to the truth
Please educate us on this then. All I see so far is basic statements but not even the hint of a theory let alone evidence.
Great point!
Previous poster is doing the modern equivalent of waving the tanks into Prague.

I'm posting news, just because you don't like being called out for supporting Nazis doesn't mean it isn't true

Ukraine joined the Nazi party as did Finland, so it's no surprise they're going back to their old habits
Russia allied with the Nazis to invade Poland. No surprise that Russia is going back to their old habits.
The Nazis invaded first and Russia lost many brave soldiers fighting against Nazi trash, looks like you're a literal Nazi apologist
Russia was allied with the Nazis to invade a country... Looks like you're a literal Nazi apologist.
You should read a book on the conflict. Here is one but it is not in russian so not sure if you will like it.

"Finland then turned to Nazi Germany for military aid. As the German offensive against the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa) approached, the cooperation between the two countries intensified. German troops arrived in Finland and took up positions, mostly in Lapland, from where they would invade the Soviet Union."
Nice try Nazi
Sure thing, tankie. If calling out the USSR makes me a Nazi then dress me in jackpots and Hugo Boss clothes I guess, despite being first generation Chinese in the US.
Why did he talk about Finland anyway? You didn't mention Finland, unless I missed something.
Second, he didn't include a timeline of Finland:
-August 1939: Russia becomes allies with the Nazis
-November 1939: the Nazi ally, Russia invaded Finland.
-June 1941: Finland joined the Nazis in betraying and attacking the Nazis' ally, Russia. So, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Tldr: Russia joined the Nazis of their own free will. Finland joined trying to repel an invasion.
So is Finland today a Nazi nation? Does this make France a Nazi nation (well half of it)?
I thought according to russia, Ukraine was never a real nation? Does this mean they are, and are somehow also part of a third reich that never ended?
What book would you suggest? Also what is a Borderland? Is borderland an invention of convenience or does it have meaning outside the russian federation? Do you think the Soviet Union still exists? Does russia have any claim on Soviet block members? If so why?
