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.

Open wide, America, Bibi's balls are getting dry and your taxpayer dollars are the saliva that will moisturize them
"What would you do different than Joe Biden?" Kamala, "there's not a thing that comes to mind."
"How do you plan on solving the situation in the Middle East?" Kamala, "Israel has a right to defend itself. We will always have their back."
"What do think about Dick Cheney endorsing you?" Kamala, "I'm honored to have the endorsement of Dick Cheney. He's a well respected leader."
I sense you're trying to spin this in favor of one presidential candidate over the over.
Fuck Trump and all his MAGAts for a million reasons.
When it comes to Israel, they own the leadership of the WH, the HOR, the senate and the MOD, regardless of political affiliation. USA (and most of Europe) is currently Israel's bitch, regardless of who's supposedly at the wheel.
They didn't even mention Trump? I don't think anyone is under the illusion that Trump would be better on Israel, that doesn't mean we can't criticise Democrats for their policies.
I agree fuck Trump and his MAGA cult for a million reasons, but also fuck Harris and her establishment cult for thousands of reasons. If she wants the vote from the people saying enough is enough, then she can earn it. She should stop blaming everyone else, stop sending out Obama to say black men are chauvinistic, stop parading around with the Cheney's and praising war criminals, and to focus on the American people and what Americans want.
Cornel West 2024!
We get the sweat off of netenyahus balls, and Biden/Harris/Trump gets paid for it, and we get.. nothing? I dont like this arrangement, but I guess we have to vote for Harris or Trump and have no choices?
You could work to dismantle the system. Heck, if people had joined the uncommitted movement instead of attacking it for their establishment overlords, the Democratic party could have been pushed to offer a candidate against genocide and for genuine social policies.
But people let themselves get gaslighted and happily rallied around their party leaders, despite getting fucked by them.
I mean I'm not getting fucked by Harris but I would be killed by trump. Once Harris is in im still going to be pushing the US to tell Israel to fuck off.
And Harris will laugh.
I'm with you-- thats currently my plan, voting uncommitted in the general unless Harris stops the weapons before election day. Its about the smallest thing I could ask for and still ask for anything at all. I fear that all future US elections will all be manipulated to follow this pattern and itll be tough to break out of.
