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.

I love this. Let's go with this. Asset seizures are an act of war. Therefore, Russia has already declared war on the US. We begin clearing the skies in five minutes. 😂
don't worry they just need this one thing and they're gonna be in Moscow by christmas
Thanks for acknowledging how absolutely meritless your original statement was, lmao. Swear to God, tankies all share a single brain cell.
I'm actually the one arguing that we should stop sending tanks, but you do you
Of course, fewer Western tanks means more Russian tanks able to secure Ukraine for genocide (content warning: death), and we all know there's nothing you cretins love more than genocide. :)
There's one genocide happening and it's being funded and protected by the US.
The Russians have killed fewer civilians in 2 fucking years across the whole front than "Israel" has in 3 months in a tiny fraction of the area.
lmao, of course the bootlicker is a genocide denialist too.
You're the one pushing to send over weapons and shit, calling me a 'tankie'
and I'm literally just disgusted by the US directly enabling a genocide and that makes me a 'bootlicker'
words mean fucking nothing apparently
Are you going to call me "woke" next?
Why would I do that when you're clearly a reactionary bootlicker who thinks that Russian imperialism and genocide of indigenous peoples in service to a violently anti-LGBT autocracy should be enabled? You're as far from 'woke' as it gets.
All I said is that it's laughable to call what's happening in Ukraine a genocide when it's compared to what "Israel" is literally doing right now. You seem to have a whole secret agenda you think I'm pushing. I'm literally trans and gay and sick of watching you fuckers use our persecution to excuse your fucking crimes.
"Only one genocide can happen at a time!"
Secret? No, I don't think it's secret in the least. You think that it's okay to genocide Ukraine, because US bad. You haven't tried to hide it at all.
I would think that if you're trans and gay, you would find Russia having drawn up a list of LGBT activists to murder after the initial invasion to be more concerning, but as you don't care about Ukrainians being genocided, I suppose it makes sense that you don't care about Ukrainian LGBT folk being genocided either. Props for consistency!
Hey, unless you're just having fun, don't waste your time. This account is a professional troll. Check their comments.
I generally feel the need to lay out the full vileness implicit in their arguments for anyone reading, but you're right that it's a pointless endeavor.
You're just a smug shithead who feels comfortable erasing the opinions of minorities if they don't agree with you.
Literally gatekeeping being trans by if we agree with US foreign policy. Fuck you.
Never denied that you're trans. Just pointed out how casually you accept the genocide of LGBT folk. Never erased your opinion. In fact, all I've done is highlight it.
It's not my fault that you're uncomfortable with seeing your own views under open daylight.
I don't accept it at all, the US literally makes the conditions for LGBT people worse in 'enemy countries' by putting up the facade of support for LGBT people as the excuse for its actions.
You're literally making things worse by using our rights and existence as a political football.
lmao, yep, you caught us, it's token US support of LGBT rights that makes things worse, those poor 'enemy countries' had no choice but to murder LGBT folk in response.
The level of implicit racism and xenophobia in stripping non-Western institutions of their moral capacity to do evil independently is fucking insane. But of course, the same people who cry that the US is the Great Satan are all too often white supremacists of a different stripe - only white people have moral agency according to them.
It's actually seen in intelligence circles as a great tool for recruiting informants.
The issue isn't with "supporting" anything, the issue is trying to make that the fucking excuse for doing Imperial conquest. At least republicans just say what they're fucking thinking instead of dressing it up to look less 'bad'
lmao, remember when we invaded Iraq under the pretense of 'LGBT rights'?
Oh, wait, we didn't? Almost like the opposition to US token advocacy of LGBT rights and blaming anti-LGBT violence in anti-Western countries on it is just an outgrowth of 'US Bad' without any deeper thought put into it, regardless of how many LGBT people are harmed by your knee-jerk reactions.
lmao one that was a republican government, they obviously dont care. Also that was because it was before 2015, before mainstream democrats had to pretend to care. Suddenly the PR machine that the US suddenly cared about gay rights really shifted into high gear too. I was trans back then too and a lot of people are looking back with rose tinted glasses.
The number one killer of gay and trans Palestinians is bombing from occupation forces.
Oh, so you don't actually have any examples of the thing you're decrying, you just thought it sounded nice to conflate LGBT advocacy with justifications for US imperial conquest?
I think we're done here.
I literally saw an Israeli soldier holding up a pride flag acting like the ethnic cleansing they're doing in Gaza is somehow in support of LGBT people less than a month ago
"I saw an Israeli soldier holding up a pride flag"
Stunning.
I mean it was being promoted by their official twitter accounts, I know that Israel is actually garbage for gay rights, dw
The US has done nothing but demonize its enemies for their lack of support for LGBT people- ever since a panel of unelected people in robes decided that they were going to do the bare fucking minimum and Obama "evolved" in his second term. I'm not going to support the fucking war machine just because you're fearmongering about "enemies" abroad.
It couldn't be that I'm just a normal fucking person sick of the charade libs put on while doing absolutely vile shit. Gotta be getting paid by the ruskies.
Smugjesus over here gatekeeping being trans by our agreement with US foreign policy. I love the passive aggressive "their" from you too. Literally sickening.
What Russia is doing in Ukraine literally falls under the definition of genocide.
There is zero denying it is genocide.
Rightwing chuds always love supporting imperialism.
Cool, if we suddenly care about genocide again then the US needs to cut Israel loose ASAP.
From my perspective you're the chud.
Sure.
But do you care about genocide? Because you or I can’t change the US government as easily as you can stop yourself right now from defending genocide.
So let’s start with the most basic, easiest thing for you to do and we’ll work up from there?
I denounce all genocides real and imagined, now can the US please stop fucking enabling "Israel" I feel like I have quislings coming out of the woodwork to concern troll
Okay but Russias is real.
So please just say “Russia is committing genocide and must be stopped”.
Because you lot always simp for Russia, China, Iran, etc. and refuse to actually hold a ideologically persistent view on the subject, it’s hard to take you in good faith unless you can prove you’re not just a tankie here to defend genocide.
Having you people try to make up little purity tests is what the bad faith is.
Israel is committing genocide and must be stopped
The US is committing genocide and must be stopped
Russia is committing genocide and must be stopped
listed in order of civilians actually being unalived by state actors
Probably wouldn’t need a “purity test” if you hadn’t spent so long pretending there was no genocide in Ukraine.
How about you denounce the US support for the genocide in Gaza?
feel free to denounce Israel too
I do.
I believe Israel should not exist and that the US is a force of evil in the world.
See, I’m not a tankie. The only side I take is against this shit.
I literally don't care what you call me, but it sounds like we can agree that the US is a world historic evil, unparalleled in human history.
Nah, no worse than China or Russia.
The foundational genocide of the US literally directly inspired the Nazis and in our present day the US is enabling yet another genocide again before our eyes. To me that's an entirely different level of historic, unrepentant and unrehabilitated evil so agree to disagree I guess.
Asleeped.
This is not the flex you think it is.
