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.

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.
