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.

A goddamn disgrace AND they're hurting America in the long-term. If America can't even back up Ukraine in delivering them aid, literally a drop in the bucket compared to how much we spend on our own military, what the hell are we good for anymore? American foreign policy is so dysfunctional and schizophrenic, we're absolutely unreliable thanks to these dumb Republicans doing the bidding of Putin. We're getting the best return on our investment in helping the Ukrainians compared to most of the Cold War era spending on our own military. We could spend 20 years throwing money into the trash trying to help Afghanistan and yet somehow only 2 years of fighting in Ukraine is too much?
You've always been unreliable allies. You entered WWI & II only after the wars were starting to be won. You're closest allies (UK) fought the Battle of Britain and suffered the Blitz while your congress sat on it's arse proclaiming neutrality and isolationism.
There's nothing unusual about this and the people of Europe know this. The Western Betrayal in Poland. France leaving NATO becaus eit didn't trust the US nuclear umbrella.
You're Congress has always been a bunch of self-serving cowards. You're people were supportive of Hitler in the early days of Nazism. Same shit, different Century.
I wish we would outlaw propaganda in public schools, we're brainwashed to believe we're The Best Country In The World™ and that we always Save The Day.™ That somehow we're always the Good Guys and never do anything selfishly.
Then you get out of highschool and if you're "unfortunate" enough to learn about our actual history, and the actual reasoning we get involved in xyz, it completely shatters your image of the country you live in and work for.
I may love my neighbors, my family, my friends, I love people, but God do I hate the American government mostly because I hate the obsessive wealth hoarding greedy assholes the infest the government for their own benefit and to every one else's detriment.
