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 lot of people here are saying he's dead, but the press aren't. Why?
There is no press anymore, they have capitulated. All you have are recorders and interpreters that push whatever Trump wants or they get banned/prosecuted.
Standard behaviour in a Fascist regime which is what the USA became under trump
Side note: We now have confirmation that a heavily armed population providers deplorable stats on violence and school shootings while doing exactly nothing to prevent the rise of tyranny... well done USA
It's just like when scientists study obvious things. We needed a rigorous and comprehensive study to show proof and the US has provided that.
Yeap, confirming it was not just a biased observation but objective reality instead
Yeah my dude, just because I carry or have firearms doesn’t mean I’m obligated to protect you or your rights.
YOU have an obligation to provide for your safety and to advocate for your rights.
If there was a public shooting, I have no legal obligation to protect anyone. My goal would be to find a place of safety for me and my family and use my gun to eliminate or at least dissuade the attacker from going after me and mine. You and yours are on your own.
We are also not nearly at the point of armed rebellion or insurrection here in the US. If you feel this strongly about it perhaps you should take responsibility for yourself and arm yourself instead of depending on others to do it for you.
Anyone with common sense would have spotted that... but the sole reason your constitution allows such carefree access to guns was supposed to be so you can defend YOUR OWN COUNTRY against fascism...
The point being in that it is now proven there is no value in allowing people to freely carry guns; it's a net detriment to society
As a Canadian I do, we just do it in a civic way as Fascism has not hit us yet...
Nobody is asking you... but you keep missing the part where a public shooting is a reality for you since so many people can have guns with almost no preparation, safety or responsibility. Feel free to keep living in your Rambo hero fantasy
Let me guess, you think that because they have not come for you yet?.... "fuck you, got mine" is a lousy way to build a society
There are many reasons the right to gun ownership is enshrined in the constitution. Resisting or eliminating tyranny is the most extreme example. But anyone not trying to make hyperbolic anti-2A statements would know this. There is great value in carrying guns. Statistically speaking conceal and carry card holders are the most law abiding segment of society.
Lol, your Conservative Party candidate Pierre Poilievre was well on his way to winning handily until Trump derailed him with his 51st state and tariff antics. I also seem to remember far right truckers shutting down your highways a few years ago. As much as Canadians love to think they are different from the US, you’re not. You just might get lucky that Trump scared your moderate voters away from facism.
Your moral compass seems to lack direction. You were just advocating for armed insurrection in the US on your last post. Now you advocate for non violence? BTW Rambo fantasy? How is stating that you would finding a safe place and defending your life with your firearm instead of run and gunning it with an active shooter a Rambo fantasy? You seem to have such a rabid anti gun stance that it clouds your judgement.
See my statement above about advocating for violence and then condemning. This is truly Olympic level mental gymnastics to justify your hypocrisy.
There is literally only one. It has been twisted into a pretzel of ignorance and illogical fallacies but there is only one. If you think there are more than 1, I'd be happy to read the source
Correct, thanks for the live example. Unlike Americans, it seems we noticed and learned... you lived through the first tRump term and decided you wanted more punishment
No, your reading comprehension lacks competence. The USA is under a fascist regime and as such, an armed resistance should be forming. Canada is not under the same threat (except from the USA) and more importantly, we do not have the "right to bear arms" for a well regulated militia.
A complete non-sequitur... My comment on you having the "fuck you, got mine" mentality is based entirely on your claim you are not willing to move a finger for anyone other than yourself AND that you do not think tRump is enough of a dictator to do anything about it. I am simply pointing out that you think the tRump has not "crossed the line" is that you have not been personally affected by his fascist government. It has literally zero to do with my suggestion an armed resistance should form nor am I even condemning it at all LOL
The only violence I am condemning in my comment is the fact that the idiots armed in the USA only brought school shootings... and yes, I condemn school shootings, don't you? let me guess, it has not affected you directly so probably you'd say "we are not there yet"
Feel free to read it, seems like you could use an education.

Lol, please Canadians learned nothing until Trump started talking trash about Canada. Before then Canadians saw Trump v1 and decided they wanted their own shit tier version with French subtitles. BTW I voted for the lady with the economics degree. I didn’t vote for this shit.
I can read just fine. Once again you seem to be advocating for armed violence. BTW YOU are the one who decided to comment about our American 2A rights and now you want to crawl away and hide behind your lack of rights. Pathetic.
Wow that was amazing, contradicting yourself in back to back sentences. You start out by stating I’m a selfish jerk for not actively shooting people who are shooting at me. Then you advocate for me to shoot people who are not shooting at me. Then you top it off with a tangent about school shootings where you then condemn shooting people.
Pick a lane and stay in it. You sound like a 🤡.
To be clear, the only stance I have taken is for self defense and that I have no obligation to put myself in danger defending you. I also advocate that we are no where near the need for armed violence against others.
This is exactly the ONE justification I kept referring to. Thanks for proving my point
If you can't tell the difference between school shootings and fighting Fascism, I can't help you. You are either trolling, morally bankrupt or just dim.
That's not the real reason for the amendment. This is one of the few things where the real reason is right there in the text itself.
It was so they could easily assemble a defense force without the need of a standing army just like they did at the start of the revolution. Not so the peasant masses could more easily overthrow them.
Well yes but the current interpretation was that peasant masses could defend themselves from tyrannical governments... it has always been a pretzel of logic but that is what they pushed and why the USA is such a violent mess now
TFW a revolution against the government is just another part of your ruggedly individualistic grindset
If you want to have that victim mentality grindset and be dependent upon others that is entirely your decision.
Lol yeah dude you're gonna be Indiana Jones surviving a nuke by hiding in the fridge 💪
It says a lot about you when you choose to cite the weakest Indiana Jones movie.
But hey your the one who’s plan is to wait for someone else to save you sooo… 🤷🏻
Dude, my plan is to let keyboard warriors make themselves look ridiculous between meetings and then have a couple beers after work.
The original post was about how the whole meal team six refrain of "the 2nd amendment will prevent tyranny" was also a lie, which you help prove with every post.
I'm not a huge war buff, but I think to have a successful revolution you'll probably need to have a friend first.
I don't think I've ever seen a revolution in which one buff guy managed to beat a military by having washboard abs and a closet full of rifles, and I doubt you'll be the first.
There should have been no organized uprising against Nazi Germany either, because you had to draft others against their will, in order to defend you. So none of us should be here.
Yep, collectivism for fascists, rugged individualism for those who seek to root them out.
Pairs nicely with all of the following American sentiments:
fuck you, I've got mine
pull the ladder up behind yourself
pull yourself up by your bootstraps
socialize the losses, privatize the profits
caveat emptor (let the buyer beware)
communism for the rich, laissez-faire, starvation capitalism for the poor
if you're so smart, why aren't you rich?
and on and on
If innocent people where not suffering from this, I would be straight up fine with the people who started this, voting in a leader that would send them to death camps.
It's just speculation, but they're saying it because nobody has ever been released from CECOT. It's not unlikely that they are just murdering the inmates and pocketing the money that the United States is giving them, or not sufficiently protecting inmates from violence between other inmates.
I do think that's rather unlikely. After Bukele came into power promising a massive reduction in violent crime he met with the leaders of all the major gangs in El Salvador. He asked them tor reduce violent crime in exchange for payoffs and a promise of improved conditions for prisoners. Within 2 years of that agreement violent crime in El Salvador reached the lowest point it's been in 30 years. If it comes out that prisoners in CECOT are dying, that agreement disappears and violent crime skyrockets. That would completely undermine Bukele's basis of support.
Yes, no president has ever lied to gangs/terrorists before. Certainly no other president ever.
Well, we now know for a fact that Abrego Garcia is still alive.
And it's not about him lying. Of course a piece of shit like Bukele is more than willing to lie to anyone. The point is that he is benefitting politically from this arrangement and if he doesn't uphold his end he can suffer political harm. It's not just a promise, it's a two-way deal.
The press are broadly beholden to journalistic standards that require multiple sources to corroborate something as fact before publishing it. Us regular jack offs have no such limitations.
As to why people are speculating that he's dead? For one, the place does appear to be a literal death camp. Also, officials in the Administration have admitted he was deported "in error" (though there have been conflicting statements over this and at least one firing). Since any sane person would want to fix a mistake of this magnitude, you could see why them refusing to might make people wonder.
You have forgotten the /s
I am not joking, but I get your joke.
"Broadly" is doing a lot of work here. There is an increasing number of media producers who print whatever they fucking feel like.
Because they're all afraid of reprisals from the trump regime
The press are just government cheerleaders these days
