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.

Here are my thoughts:
I'm pretty disillusioned with the Democrats between the imperialism and almost completely giving in to the fascist takeover, but I wouldn't be looking to get out of the country if Harris had won, so thanks for that if you could have voted and didn't.
edit: I voted Uncommitted in the primary, helped out at my local Gaza camp, and have gone to rallies and distributed books about Palestine, so I'm not just sitting here at my computer saying all this
Exactly. Why can’t people vote for the lesser evil in the short term and push for change after the election too. There was no scenario where the protest vote didn’t give us a far worse option. As bad as Biden was on Gaza, he capitulated more than Trump ever will. Plus, one issue voting is just an insane mindset in a winner take all electoral system like America.
I saw a take a few months ago that voting third party isn't voting your conscience, voting your conscience is going against what you really want to do, to do what will actually result in the least harm happening. Our system of government is absolute trash but until it changes (and we should all be pushing for it to change) this is what we've got.
They did that in 2020 and the lesser evil told them to go fuck themselves, policy-wise.
Honestly. And I mean honestly.
Why is America so be bed with Israel? Is it just purely a tactical location or is there way more underhand shit we can't talk about because if you call someone out for doing something they shouldn't and they are Jewish then you're a Nazi?
People must be getting bribes and threats and more people in the government must care about Israel than the number of people that care about Palestinian.
Surely people don't care that much about that patch of sand.
AIPAC Lobby money. America is very corrupt.
Real talk: This is why: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Israel
Part of that is a self feeding prophecy.
Like no reason they couldn't have chosen the UK or Australia.
Israel has a large IT and ComSci talent pool to draw from.
But why? Because of investment that's my point.
Israel had an existing talent pool to draw on combined with heavy investment in the defense sector.
Are you asking why they are in bed with Israel? It's our window into directly destabilizing the middle east.
Does that mean in 20 years or so when solar is king and wind is a strong second and the middle east is in obscurity america will stop caring about Israel, you think?
I think they will care less. But I don't know how much less.
Not sure. It would take glassing a hostile country or even making democracy happen in those countries could lessen the extent. But religious zealotry and terrorism kind of make a it difficult for people to stop caring.
Did you see the pictures of Kamala and Mike Johnson smiling as they watched the vote count on January 6?
Don't worry, I voted... for the non-genocidal actual progressive candidate, Jill Stein.
Trump thanks you for your service.
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos
No, he thanks you & Kamala. Are you pleased with yourself & how things turned out?
They love genocide, don't let their sealioning fool you. They don't want a discussion because they'd have to praise terrorists to make a point. All they can do is shift blame to unrelated governments.
You mean the Russian plant?
Better than a CUFI/AIPAC owned candidate
Hey, if you can sign off on a genocide based on who's holding a political office dont let us propagandized westerners stop you.
No, a very intelligent American doctorate with a history in grassroots progressivism that led in the polls among Palestinians & Arab Americans. You do respect Palestinians & their votes, right?
This is actually antisemitic. Accuse the one Jewish candidate of being a foreign agent.
Not if she is.
Don't fall into their trap. It is important to point out that it isn't antisemitic either way, because your assertion had absolutely nothing to do with her religious or ethnic background.
The only foreign agents are those on AIPAC’s payroll

Adelson donated much more to Trump than aipac has in decades
I have the most unique tags for you.
Eww
Eww to genocidal Kamala voters
She...was never potus or in charge of the military support for allies or abroad?...
Put down that nitrous bottle, scuz
"I can't think of anything I'd do differently than Biden, well except I'd have a Republican in my cabinet."
lololol
You saved palestine!
I respected the vote of the Palestinian people. Do you respect them & who they voted for?
