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.

If you voted for genocide...that was a mistake.
I didn't vote for genocide. What did you do?
Yes we get it, you just made sure the literal Nazis got power and gave Israel the means to 100% Speedrun the genocide.
Do you feel ok about that in the context of what's about to happen in Palestine?
Do I feel okay about voting for an anti-genocide candidate? Of course. Why wouldn't I?
The question is: why are so many people okay voting for a pro-genocide candidate?
We shouldn't even be having this conversation. No Democratic candidate should be supporting genocide. Ever. And nobody should be defending her!
Because you've enabled Trump to grind palestinians into the dust.
Who do you think Palestinians wanted to win the election?
There's a ceasefire right now because of Trump. How many Palestinians do you think died while the Biden admin was vetoing the UN security council to stop the genocide?
Oh yes. I think he magically created this ceasfire right before floating his plan for ethnic cleansing right?

"However, there indeed seems to be widespread agreement among diplomats and officials involved that Trump-related factors were quite important in finally spurring the deal to come together."
You also realize that Trump's comments don't equate to ethnic cleansing right?
Governor Gavin Newsom: "We need people in other states to house those impacted by the fires during cleanup & rebuilding efforts."
Democrats: "Oh, look at that. He's helping people."
Trump: "We need people in neighboring countries to house those impacted by the total destruction under Biden during cleanup & rebuilding efforts."
Democrats: "He's ethnic cleansing! He's a Nazi!"
Independent: "Why can't Israeli Jews help house Palestinians?"
Jews in Israel: "Because Palestinians are less human than us!"
Independent: "That sounds messed up. I think Israeli Jews might have messed up ideology."
Jews in Israel & AIPAC: "Antisemite!!!! Nazi!"
Democrats: "Antisemite Nazi!!!!"
One of two people was going to win this election and unless you voted for the other one, you helped elect Trump.
It wasn't inaction. I voted for Jill Stein.
So you didn't do anything to avoid a Trump presidency. That's inaction.
she was running against trump.
Yes but she wasn't a viable president so you wasted your vote.
apparently Kamala wasn't viable either
What a silly thing to say. Of course she was viable.
it seems viability isn't a firm concept
Same here bro, an actual progressive candidate who had no problem saying no to genocide unlike most of the Democrats here. What did Kamala do? She endorsed a smear ad against her:

Jill Stein is a Russian stooge. Endorsing her is a good way to tank any credibility you may have ever had.
There they go. How'd that work out for you? Will you ever stop feeding off the establishment teat? You think if they lose two more elections that you'll be ready?
No, Kamala helped Trump:

Those 29% are fucking idiots. Trump is making things worse exactly like everyone with an IQ above room temperature said he would.
Undecided voter to Democrats... "Why do you support genocide?" Democrats, "Listen here you fucking idiot. I hope you get cancer for questioning us. Do as we say you fascist! You ain't black if you don't vote for us."
