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.

That's one of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard. It's international waters.
Does the Gulf of Mexico belong solely to Mexico? Does the Black Sea belong to black people?
Pretty sure they were just making a joke
You should read the rest of their comments.
Oh wow. Poe's law strikes again. In my defense, those other comments hadn't been made yet
By your logic , then we can’t complain when China does ‘malicious, provocative’ moves near our aircraft. It’s international waters. But we all know liberal logic doesn’t work that way. It’s okay when we do it, but not when they do.
Dude, their behavior is dangerous and puts lives at risk.
Also, I love how tankies like you jump to call anyone they don't like a liberal. You use that word however you want to describe anyone you don't like. I don't even identify with it.
Your comments say otherwise.
You do realize this blames Canada. Right? Right?
Thank you for being the arbiter of my political leanings. I'll be sure to take your sage advice into account.
Right back at ya.
Oh, so you're not a tankie? Well, sorry about that, then.
See how easy that was?
We’re not all Marxist-Leninist.
I didn"t say you were. Just that you like simping for authoritarian regimes for some reason.
You assume I simp for China because I’m critical of American media. I just cringe when I see all the articles about what a threat China is. They certainly aren’t a military threat to America. But they are an economic one. The news media are beating the war drums so that when conflict occurs, the populace will be easily swayed. I don’t war to pad some hedge fund managers portfolio.
I agree with your last two sentences, but the rest is hogwash. I assume you simp for China because you came in at their defense in this comment section when it was clearly unwarranted.
Also you're delusional if you don"t think China is a threat. They"ve got the largest standing army in the world, nukes to spare and a war goal on one of our best allies in the region.
Okay, you know what? I"m done with this. I really feel like a keyboard warrior sitting in someones basement with nothing better to do. I"m going to go and change that. You have a nice day!
Have you read what happened? There's only one party here doing malicious, provocative moves. It's the same one that's charging naval ships at Filipino fishermen and building structures in international waters in the South China Sea.
There's a very long list of times China has done something like this. They're fucking around, and if they accidentally do crash into another naval ship or plane, they're going to find out. If that warplane's flares downed the helicopter, it would be an international incident. I would be hard pressed to blame Canada if they declared war.
Think of it this way. Is it wrong for Iran to be hostile to the US after the US shot down one of their civilian jets? If Israel shot down a helicopter with journalists, would there be any question they fucked up?
The comment you are replying to is where I answered this comment. Let’s not be recursive.
Lol
Honestly, I'm too busy and lazy to engage with your silly bullshit, so I had ChatGPT do it for me. Please enjoy.
Oh, what a curious spectacle it is, the never-ending dance of the devil's advocate on the quaint forums of Lemmy! A veritable Socrates in their own mind, the gallant defender of an entire country—yes, country, not just any old thing! But, oh dear reader, I must ask, are they truly the embodiment of patriotic fervor, or is it merely a performance art akin to a mime trapped in an invisible box of their own making?
Let us ponder, just asking questions here, but could it be that this country, so passionately defended, is actually a utopia unknown to us mere mortals? A land of milk and honey, or perhaps, given the penchant for hyperbole, rivers of chocolate and mountains of marshmallows? One must inquire, for the sake of inquiry, does the sun shine brighter there, are the breezes always cool and the politicians always honest? Do the birds sing anthems, and do the trees sway in time to a national waltz?
Let’s speculate—purely for the sake of speculation, you understand—could our indefatigable commenter be the last bastion of truth in a digital sea of skepticism? Do they don capes and tights beneath their user avatar, soaring across threads to rescue facts from the jaws of naysayers with the mere power of their unshakeable conviction? Oh, what a sight that would be!
And what of the arguments presented, shimmering in their resolute simplicity like a tinfoil hat under the midday sun? Is there, hidden within their dogged replies, an elixir of clarity so potent that it could cleanse the palates of even the most jaded keyboard warriors? Does their keyboard emit a special kind of light, a beacon of unwavering loyalty that guides lost internet souls to safe harbor in their favored nation’s embrace?
Now, I ask you—yes, you, the curious onlooker to this digital Don Quixote—have you ever considered that our hero may be onto something? Could their steadfast defense be a lesson in disguise, a masterclass in the art of online jousting? Each post, a gentle nudge toward enlightenment; each thread, a breadcrumb trail leading us to the ultimate truth—that this country, their country, stands as a beacon of perfection in our tumultuous world?
Ah, but let us not stray too far without questioning the very nature of our Lemmy platform! Is it possible that this bastion of discussion has transcended its electronic boundaries to become a metaphysical round table, where digital knights gather, not for battle, but for a relentless tickling of the intellect?
Truly, one must admire the resilience! For each time they are met with opposition, do they not rise like a phoenix from the ashes of downvotes, each new comment a testament to their unyielding spirit? Is their dedication not akin to that of an old sea captain, steadfastly navigating through the stormy waves of counterarguments, their compass ever pointing towards the true north of their conviction?
In conclusion, dear reader, as we stand in awe of this tireless champion, can we not help but ask ourselves: are we all not just defenders of our own personal countries, be they of the mind, heart, or pixel? And to our zealous commenter, I say: carry on, you brave keyboard warrior, carry on! For in this vast cyberspace, your unwavering defense does not go unnoticed; it pirouettes through the data streams, a ballet of belief, a symphony of singular loyalty. What a world, what a world!
Beautiful ❤️
I love this
I am honored that you had to resort to AI instead of confronting my opinion head on. Maybe there’s hope for liberals, if they actually can read what they have the bots scribe for them.
