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.

So, during a state of lukewarm war, hotter than cold but not quite hot, America should just let a Jewish community get massacred by ISIS because it would leave egg on the face of our rival?
The world is pretty fucked up right now, I’m sorry for what it’s turned you into. Hard to keep your humanity when so few seem to care about having any.
_ Hard to keep your humanity when so few seem to care about having any. _
Thats because for most ppl its all very far away. Moment its gets close or closer it becomes different. Everyone (including me) is a Rambo on his/her couch on the other side of the planet.
Sacrifices must be made. Worse case senario its killing possible recruits for the war machine. Its just cold hard math and numbers dont give a fuck about humanity. In this cruel world we are forced to use the tools of our enemies so we can destroy them. I wish it didnt have to be this way but sadly dead people seem to be the only effective way to send a message.
Ohh and btw do u still buy cheap chinese crap build by slaves that have been forcfully sterilised or do u enjoy ur cushy life behind a keyboard consuming chinese crap powered by genocide without a care in the world.
We all make sacrifices to our morality every day but i guess as long as u dont have to think about it its not your problem. Everything is bathed in blood from the oil in ur car to the computer ur reading this on the only question is how much of that blood are you willing to accept is on your hands and how much more will you accept in the name of furthering ur goals.
Innocent people should not be sacrificed because of your personal mental afflictions
Wow reverting to basless insults how mature. Innocent people will always be sacrificed its a sad reality if we dont do the same we are playing at a significant disadvantage.
It's not baseless, it's true. You sound like a crazy person. The rest is on you.
I dont really care how it sounds all i ask is for you to find a statisticly significant reason for why i am objectivly wrong.
You're not worth the effort
Interesting way to say despite me being a cunt im right.
You're fantasizing about the necessity of sacrificing innocent people. Seek mental health care.
Im not fantasising about it im stating it as what happens and whats nessasary to acheive parity of capabilities with russia something we need to be capable of doing to counter them effectivly.
lmao, fuck off. All it would take is funding the defense of Ukraine. Go on. Fuck right the fuck off.
3 fucking days dealing with your bullshit
I totally, wholeheartedly agree that there is NO ethical consumption in the modern day. Every first world pleasure I enjoy is taken at the barrel of a gun. As a union worker I buy American, or buy from places less likely to have sweatshop conditions, when it makes sense to do so.
But none of that has anything to do with what we’re talking about. You’re a deranged misanthropic accelerationist, please seek therapy.
How is it different whos blood it is being spilled. Misantropic no accelerationist for our enemies thats the friggin point what do u think sanctions are for its to cause suffering and pain in the general populus and drive unrest to tie up resources solving that problem it sure as hell aint gonna effect the top of the line big rich fuckers it exists to cause suffering of the masses.
