Feels like this happened way longer ago but I guess the last ten years have really been a slog

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.

The most hypocritical event the west has ever experienced. While bombing the entire middle east to rubble without a single care in the world for "colateral damage", every single western leader falls in line to defend racism and Islamophobia.
With the genocide in Gaza going on now it becomes more clear than ever how little actual moral values these western politicians truly hold. Suddenly you cannot criticize Israel because that would be antisemitic.
And woe those who criticize religion of which its practitioners are not white. Despite it not even being a criticism of a religion.
10 years and not much has changed. The violent extremists are still out there. Charly Hebdo just made some mediocre comics and they got executed for it.
Just take a look at the life of Salman Rushdie.
Some humans are heinous. (No, i dont talk about the peaceful people which just take hope and strength from their belief. The violent ones. And the ones who use religion opportunistically for their cause.)
Thanks for the interesting read.
To clarify: I mentioned him, as a person who had to endure murder threats and assassination attempts (for decades) because he openly stated his thoughts. I haven't read his books or know his opinions. My point is that his life is threatened for writing up his ideas.
It can't be said clear enough that Israel's military is committing horrible crimes in Gaza. This can't be justified. That's a point which doesn't need to be argued about I think. Everyone who stands up to end the suffering is right. On the other side it is really complicated to talk about anything besides this point.
