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.

yes, and anarchism never claimed otherwise.
What you're deliberately ignoring is that anarchists organise horizontally, not from the top down, and also that capitalism is inherently incompatible with anarchism since it demands hierarchy, and hierarchy is what anarchism opposes.
So basically your entire snide and ill informed comment here is irrelevant, since you clearly just pulled a bunch of propaganda out of your ass and have never spent more than 30 seconds researching what anarchism actually is.
And yet I'm sure you feel super proud of yourself.
Clown.
Nothing gets your point across like finishing on an ad hominem. Good job. You showed them and they will totally see things your way now.
lol, I don't think those words mean what you think they mean.
Clown.
Regardless, you still just come off as a dick.
A clown, even.
The society won't work without hierarchies. The important thing is to not forcefully involve other people in your hierarchy.
Nobody wants to organize horizontally.
Yet you're posting this on a rapidly growing horizontally-organized social media system, running on top of a wildly successful, half-century old, horizontally-organized global computer network governed by "rough consensus and running code". Curious.
~~Obligatory "I am very smart"~~
Even the fediverse feels like a bunch of hierarchies. Some have a council with code of conduct on top, some have a benevolent dictator. As a user, you have very little say in the relationships between the large instances. It's easier to become a sovereign instance at the moment, compared to the dark times of twitter and reddit, but as soon as the large instances decide not to federate with the world by default, you're back to square one. It's very similar to citizen vs country, and country vs country interaction.
I'd say that only Tier 1 networks are horizontally managed. The name itself implies a hierarchy. There is an organization on top granting AS's to legal entities, and assigning IP addresses to them. An average ISP customer has absolutely no say about what happens higher up in the hierarchy.
Sure, you can try to bootstrap a flat network, but that has it's own disadvantages. And I'm saying that as a member of a project trying to build a meshnet using network protocols with more or less flat topology. (Disaster radio, Meshtastic, Reticulum).
Well, I've never heard of a well-informed anarchist either, so there you go.
They just don't understand any of the basics of organisation.
They just base their whole ideology on the delusion that everybody's just gonna play nice, nobody will want to do anything for their advantage and, cucially, that crime just doesn't exist.
I wanna see how any anarchist society deals with a murder. Or with someone who is dangerously mentally ill.
But that's already much too high for anarchists, who barely understand basic human incentives.
It sounds like you haven't had much interaction with anarchists beyond maybe high-school, and haven't read anything that we've written.
Also, police organizations complain that anarchist activist groups are too hard to infiltrate because there's too much reading to do:
Literally "I can't blend in with these fucking nerds because they read too much".
Our philosophy is centered around dealing with the organized crime of the state and the exploitation of the capitalists. If you generally can't trust people to play nice, putting a few of them in positions of power tends to make the problem worse, not better.
Which aspect of it? Basic security is pretty simple, and there's a number of ways to provision it. Forensics would be handled by contracting professional specialists. Trials would be handled by a polycentric legal system (as opposed to the monocentric one that we currently have. Punishment would generally be in the form of either restitution paid by the perpetrator to the victim (or next of kin), or exile.
C'mon now, this is just confidentlyincorrect material.
