A community for discussing events around the World
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.
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.

Fuck the reactionaries, fuck this far-right, fuck all of those who would like to lock us into a war of all against all.
Uncensored for your reading pleasure. Seems pretty badass to me and brought a smile to my face.
The mediabiasfactchecker bot has commented in the thread so if you can't see it, then i guess yup it blocked you.
Thanks for confirming, I guess it has blocked me then.
EDIT: Nevermind I actually blocked it. Must have done it in a 3am doom scrolling stupor.
I voted Anne Hidalgo for president in the first round. She’s so cool.
She literally follows the fuckcars twitter account that I help run (I used to be a fuckcars mod on reddit).
Fucking legend!
I was wondering how she said it in French cause we don’t really have a translation for fuck (that would be "j’emmerde" or "j'encule" in that specific case).
"Fuck aux réacs, fuck à cette extrême droite, fuck à tous ceux qui voudraient nous enfermer dans la guerre de tous contre tous"
Yeah ok, it’s easier that way, well done Madame La Maire de Paris 👌
I realize l'Académie Française frowns at the introduction of English words into the French language, but it feels like they should make an exception in this case.
Fuck l'Académie Française as well.
Fuck everything
(caption: burn it all down to start afresh)
We should have elected this guy.
I assume you wrote that on le computer.
Exactement. With the clavier.
Unfortunately the Académie Française is mostly full of crusty old men who think they can dictate how the french language evolves, so we rarely care about what they have to say
They should insist that it gets written in the Constitution.
Le peuple français proclame solennellement son attachement aux Droits de l'homme et aux principes de la souveraineté nationale tels qu'ils ont été définis par la Déclaration de 1789 [...]
En vertu de ces principes et de celui de la libre détermination des peuples, la République proclame Fuck aux réacs, fuck à cette extrême droite, fuck à tous ceux qui voudraient nous enfermer dans la guerre de tous contre tous.
“Fuck aux réacs, fuck à cette extrême droite, fuck à tous ceux qui voudraient nous enfermer dans la guerre de tous contre tous”
I want to etch this above my home's front door
don’t really have a translation for fuck
Certified not Quebecois
Fuck is like their word for eh
I for one embrace the use of fuck in french as new word.
Je fucke
Tu fuckes
Il/Elle fucke
Nous fuckons
Vous fuckez
Ils/Elles fuckont
Or you can optionally drop the standard conjugation and just say fuck, idk. Also, "je the vais fucker" for "imma fuck you up"
Ils/elles fuckent
Je vais te fucker
Couldn't you use something with putain instead, like « putain de réacs » ?
Yes you can, but it won't be the same meaning.
"Putain d’extrême droite" would be "fucking far right" and not "fuck the far right".
That's not much but one is being annoyed at something, the other is actively insulting something.
Maybe something like “qu’ils aillent se faire foutre” lol
Yes it could be "Qu'ils aillent se faire foutre" as well.
So many ways of saying fuck according to different situations, it is better that she said "fuck" as a french version would have been too vulgar and would have provoked some political scandal.
I'm partial to "j'encule," which also would work in that context.
I know that country's name should never be spoken, but it's a little far to call it's name an "f-bomb"
/s, just in case
fr*nce
Using “f-bomb” and LGBT in the same sentence is dangerous
Yeah, I thought this was an entirely different story at first
Merovingian vibes.
I get confused at first glance any time I read: anti-[anything] critics.
Better open the article
Hell yeah, the correct response
I get it, people getting angry for mocking Christianity. I mean, they believe in a single 2000 year old book of fairytales and believe in an imaginary friend.
