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.

U.S. conservatives aren't satisfied oppressing and killing vulnerable people here in the U.S. They need to expand their death cloud to other vulnerable groups.
There is no such thing as a "good conservative" alive today. Conservatism is a plague of death that is long overdue for a cure.
US conservatives have been on Putin's payroll for quite some time now. Remember that the NRA - a major conservative lobbying group - was infiltrated by a Russian agent for quite a while.
Kevin McCarthy said that the two people he believes Russia owns are Dana Rohrabacher (?sp) and Donald Trump. And Tucker Carlson has been repeatedly promoted on Russian tv.
One or the other, no in-between. America is a joke.
That is an incredibly overgeneralized view of the situation. It's precisely this kind of polarization, and viewing everything in terms of black and white, that Putin and allies are reveling in.
What a lovely quote from the tolerant left.
Nearly every act of racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia and anti-semitism ever committed in the U.S. has been committed by conservatives.
Nearly every act of domestic terrorism ever committed in the U.S. has been committed by conservatives.
Nearly every bigot you will ever meet in the U.S. is an outspoken conservative.
I am fresh out of tolerance for conservatives. There is no place in a modern society for conservatism. Period.
Close minded, ignorant, and intolerant you are a trifecta.
Biden along with many other liberals were staunch supporters of segregation, Many leaders and members in the black rights movement are antisemitic, segregated spaces on campuses are a modern liberal idea,
Domestic terrorism has been used by liberal nutjobs for decades there were a bunch of liberal groups in 60s 70s and 80s that bombed federal buildings (weather underground, black Panthers, anarchists, ...) It wasn't until the 80s that right wing nut jobs started following the liberal terrorism playbook.
I doubt you've ever had tolerance for any idea that you didn't agree with.
Biden is not a liberal. He is a neo-liberal. Neo-liberals are conservatives.
By actual bodycount, number of acts committed and financial loss, conservatives have committed almost all of the domestic terrorism the U.S. has ever experienced.
Your defense of fascism and fake opinions are a reminder that every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word.
There's no true Scotsman...
Now you've moved the goalposts but you didn't move them far enough. Your comrades killed a lot of people in the name of the greater good. The weather underground, SLA, NWLF, black Panthers... were responsible for hundreds of bombings in the 70s, that's just one decade. The issue is your manifesto calls for violent overthrow of the government to start communism, and your comrades have been stupid enough to believe it.
You've made yourself quite a useful idiot.
Cool story, Sparky. I'd give you points for creativity, but you lifted all of your baby-brained talking points from Fox News, who testified in court (multiple times) that "no reasonable person" would believe their content is fact-based.
Can you even define "communist"? Lol. No one on the left gives the tiniest chicken fried fuck about communism. We just want conservative bigotry and oppression to go extinct. But, keep making up boogeyman words to stir your base of dipshits and Meal Team Six cosplayers.
Just as before, every word you vomit into existence is obvious deception or manipulation. No one here is fooled. So, scurry on back to Truth Social or Stormfront or NAMBLA or whatever other conservative hangout you crawled out of and have someone read my reply to you so you can become more enraged and confused.
