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.

Tangential question. How is their education about Italys role in WW2?
I'm fairly ignorant of their politics, but it seems like they gravitate towards the far right.
I know that Germany has invested a lot in educating their populace that while the guilt of their Nazi ancestors is not theirs to carry, they must understand how they got ~~their~~ there, and accept how evil their actions were, in order to not allow history to repeat.
Does Italy take similar ownership?
History is teached as it is, no sugarcoating anything. But many are still fond of fascism if they grow up in a conservative family. Many in the south also see mafia as strong fascinating. It’s just what it is. Like 50% of Americans would vote for Trump or 50% of Brazilians would vote for bolsonaro if they could. Some people are just stupid
Unfortunately, in Italy different choices were made. Not by Italians but by who won the WW2. Educating about the dangers of some ways of thinking or even condemning some people as criminals would have empowered too much the PCI (Italian communist party) and made the country lean too much towards the Eastern block, so a "general amnesty" was made and most things were forgotten. Here is the result. Good luck.
Italy has a lot of problems with their fascists and their relation to their role in ww2, as a nation, no doubt. But also, what I have seen in italy is something I have not seen in any other country. Anti-facists occupations of buildings hosting clubs, womens refuges, theaters and jobs for immigrants and refugees. I was on a city walk with one of these movments associated with other occupations, and they toured the city showing the anti-fascist graffiti, showed city maintained plaques of anti-fascist actions and told stories about the resistance movements during ww2. For an italian, I can imagine there is some escape from their nation's responsibilities embedded in that event, but I can also see how it was obvious how it was fueled by a distain for fascism and anti-semitism.
Yeah, Germany did such a wonderful job that now the only position allowed is to justify another genocide attempt in Gaza. But thank god they invested in that amazing education!
What a bunch of bullshit. Germans clearly didn't learn shit.
They did a really good job, the world is complicated and I am a supporter of a free Palestine. The Germans should be doing better but they won't allow themselves to.
They won't, because they did a shitty job. What they did really good was convincing themselves to have done a good job. That's why they get sour when confronted with the fact that they didn't in fact a good job.
