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.

Demand for his head, I doubt. They'll just call for a full invasion and taking of the strait and justify the strikes and invasion do to Iran closing it.
There is a portion of MAGA that won't, sure.
But the majority will. This is a war of choice, not necessity, and you saw how quick people were to flip on Harris when it became clear she was comfortable with people being impoverished for no good reason.
I mean yeah but he's already a dictator. We can't vote our way out of this.
All these liberals just don't fuckin get it yet....
You just lived through a period where people literally threatened their neighbors (and tried to kidnap a governor) with guns because they couldn't get a haircut or get some cheesy biscuits at Red Lobster.
The worst sin Donald can commit is coming between Americans and the convenience that they equate with liberty.
And yes, there will be another vote.
The American people do love their bread and circus.
I'm not sure why Trump isn't frightened by the prospect of the American people missing those things.
6-3 SCOTUS says the election didn't mean what you thought it meant.
Bush v Gore was a lethal blow for American democracy.
The vote may take place, but its not gonna matter. If he wants to stay in office, he will.
I'm torn, because I've seen plenty to suggest the democratic process is still chugging along in the states. Let me know when the NJ/VA gubernatorial races are overturned.
At the same time, I've seen "Welcomefest" and the liberal doubling down on Palestinian genocide. I'm seeing liberals in Congress line up to support Trump in his Iran War. Liberals are bought into crypto. They're bought in on school privatization. They're bought in on defunding Medicaid and SS. They bought in on the deportations and the lawless arrests and the police violence
Too many liberals are supporting Trump in deed, while complaining in name only. How does an election fix that?
What you're saying is there is actually a class divide that gets hidden by a manufactured social divide.
Ding ding ding. We have a winner!
could it be that Marx was right, then?
