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.

Republicans are literally laying the ground work to turn the USA into a fascist dictatorship that is in lock step with Russia and Israel, but alright cool. Good thing we have more concern for a foreign conflict then the survival of our own democracy.
I have never come across anyone supporting Trump on lemmy. I voted for Kamala but we are in a post election environment. The election is OVER and they betrayed us.
Demanding the dems stop supporting genocide on the grounds that it's the right thing to do and it clearly alienated their voters is not supporting Trump.
Holding the dems accountable for the shit show they orchestrated at the behest of israel is not supporting Trump.
Demanding they start to actually represent us and demanding internal changes in the party is not supporting Trump.
Who are you supporting by defending their stance on genocide so consistently?
Dems don't support genocide. Claiming otherwise is outright misinformation FUD targeting Democratic voters to drive support for RUpublicans.
Huh, that's really odd conclusion to draw from Democrats literally supporting genocide. Harris couldn't even be bothered to come out against it during the campaign even when they knew their support was a losing issue.
Again, more Fascist supporting apologia.
The DNC does not support genocide, Trump supports the genocide of Palestine. How dense do you have to be to not see that you are supporting the genocide of Palestine?
There are multiple meanings of "support." There's an endorsement meaning, which can be explicit or tacit, and there's an aiding meaning. The Democrats may not explicitly endorse it, but the Biden administration certainly did tacitly endorse it by directly aiding it. And most of the party has been tacitly endorsing and aiding it for decades.

As your links show, the dems created a massive vulnerability by supporting genocide. It doesnt say anything about them not supporting it.
The dems have to change their stance. Russia using their support for genocide against them doesnt mean we should support genocide. They kind of solve both problems by publicly condemning Israel and its what voters want as well.
At least you are honest about supporting Russian aligned fascists.
No, im honest about the fact that supporting genocide is stupid and supporting it harder because the Russians are using that support to their advantage is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
You dont have a leg to stand on, and your sources dont even counter my point. They seem to actually help my argument.
The democrates supported genocide and are POS for doing it. By defending their position, you support genocide (this part is probably not news for you, Im guessing you're in the "right to defend themselves" looney crowd.)
But yet here you are arguing against supporting the DNC because they "support" genocide, despite the fact that the RNC is fully supporting genocide abroad and laying the ground work to start their own genocide in the states.
Tell me, do you also support a one state solution too?
Yes, because THE DNC SUPPORTED GENOCIDE. I don't care about your whataboutism.
The dems need to stop supporting genocide and the apartheid state of Israel because :
The dems literally got Trump elected with their short sighted support for a foreign genocidal nation.
Tell me your views on Israel bro, tell me how they aren't the bad guys and it isnt really a genocide. I'm guessing thats what you are really trying to say.
Israel is committing genocide.
The Republicans want to commit genocide, but you can't seem to say that for some reason?
Lmao, I fucking hate the republicans. Trump is literally the anti-christ. And yes, they support the genocide too.
I'm also pissed at the dems for basically trying their hardest to get him elected and see scapegoating voters as helping their losing defunct platform as well as by extent the zionist platform.
I want change and making voters feel bad and only blaming them guarantees we dont get change.
