Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Oh boy Ive seen this one before!
Only this time, the countries falling to fascism generally have nukes, so now there's ultimately no way to stop them.
And people don't want to listen and reject them en masse.
So evil is winning.
Yeah, people forget this anytime someone says "put them on trial for warcrimes!"
Like, if they were ever in a situation where they could be tried for warcrimes, boom goes the dynamite.
I don't like where this is going...
Relax, we still haven’t seen a ton of assassinations yet
Russia has been assassinating several a year for years, the Israelis and Saudis both have been killing journalists, and India is currently in trouble with NA for assasinating a Canadian and plotting assassination of an American.
Assassinations are very much happening
We were supposed to have a other summer of love 🤷🏽
Well, you guys voted for fascism. Now you’ve got it.
Exactly. Argentina has had an issue with right wing, backwards ass idiots for a long time. They're getting what they wanted
"but he claimed to be Anarcho and anti-government"...
Turns out he was only opposed to good government!
Average self-proclaimed libertarian
What a surprise, put a foolish overconfident man with dictatorial ambitions in charge of the state and now he wants to expand the state's power.
I feel like Argentina is in for a rough ride. Meili is a buffoon, and dangerously ignorant.
Can confirm. It's our own Trump / Bolsonaro.
Remember when that emu bit Bolsonaro? Good times.
I remember when he got stabbed... A shame he didn't die.
They voted for this. There's a lot of idiots in Argentina and they're about to get what they asked for
Only about half of them did, the other half shouldn't have to suffer because they're in the same country as the idiots.
And here I thought libertarians hailed themselves as freedom absolutists.
they do. right now they're upset because prison or bullet violates their freedom to choose how they punish other people for using freedom incorrectly. the moderates are outside waving gadsden flags and chanting "prison or bullet OR FIRE OR FLAYING OR DROWNING". Because freedom.
I'm so tired
“The state is not going to pay for the use of the security forces; organizations that have legal status will have to pay or individuals will have to bear the cost,” Bullrich said.
Can they pay in Pesos? 'cause they can probably do that instead of burning it in their hearth.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Human rights activists in Argentina have expressed consternation over new security guidelines to crack down on an anticipated wave of protests after the incoming government of libertarian president Javier Milei devalued the country’s currency by more than 50%.
The aim of the new rules is to prevent a traditional form of protest known as piquete, in which demonstrators blockade city roads and highways for hours, days – and sometimes even weeks at a time.
“Under the promise of order [the government] seeks to suppress public protest against the effects of official measures,” said the Centre of Legal Studies (CELS) in a statement.
“The measures attack the right to protest and criminalize those who demonstrate and persecute social and political organizations.”Leftist legislator and former presidential candidate Myriam Bregman said on X (formerly Twitter): “What Bullrich announced is absolutely unconstitutional … The right to protest is the first of all rights.” José Luis Espert, a legislator with Milei’s party, Liberty Advances, replied with a three-word phrase: “Prison or bullet.”The new protocol empowers police at train and bus stations to seize face masks, sticks or other elements they consider could be used in a demonstration.
In this way, it criminalizes mothers and fathers who demand better conditions for their families and excludes those in charge of their care,” said the CELS in its statement.Television newscaster Mario Massaccesi of the TN news channel recalled that Bullrich herself blockaded downtown streets in Buenos Aires when protesting against Covid lockdowns.
“What authority does she have now to tell others they can’t protest?” asked the newscaster.Protests are expected in response to the massive wage cuts and transport and tariff hikes announced as part of Milei’s “chainsaw” economic programme.
