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.
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.

Unbelievable how every right winger shows up anytime a conservative white dude “just tells a joke and gets attacked by woke” but when the shoe is on the other foot they explode like the fucking Hindenburg
Kyle is a cool guy.
How bizarre that an Australian politician is getting his panties in a twist over American politics.
I'm aware of the cultural absorption by other countries of American culture, but it really seems subordinate and pandering of politicians from other countries to emotionally invest themselves in American issues.
Almost as bad as the pandering, subservient American politicians themselves.
The fascists are infecting the whole world with their brain rot via the internet. Nowhere is immune.
The Aussies have an extreme right wing thing going on and that group just absolutely fucking loves trump cuz he's the fast-fasch king.
I'm sure the people upset about Kyle Gass's statement were JUST AS UPSET when Republicans joked about Nancy Pelosi's attempted Assassination!
Babet is a known far-right crank who rode in with the antivaxer movement. He represents not even mainstream culture-war conservatism (the Liberal Party, currently in opposition, does that), but what Australians refer to as “cookers”: the fringe of conspiracy theorists and aggrieved boomers whose brains have been devoured by the Murdoch media. The kinds of people who smuggle horse dewormer to treat their wind-turbine syndrome.
Since google puts twitter feeds at the top and that cesspit is full of idiots i decided to check lemmy to see if i was alone in thinking this is a huge over reaction.
Pretty safe to say that people of lemmy are my people.
Personally i see it as a joke, maybe one in bad taste. Maybe one that shouldn't have been said. But a joke none the less. Its certainly interesting to see how the right react when the shoe is on the other foot.
Literally my first thought was "who the fuck cares"
Whether you find a joke funny or not, or in poor taste, or whatever... "WAAAAAH I GONNA KICK YOU OUT OF THE COUNTRY BECAUSE WORDS HURT" is not the appropriate level of response.
And besides, I thought these fucks were all about being tough, growing a thicker skin, getting over it etc
Suddenly it's not the same when it's one of theirs in the crosshairs this time? Or I guess iron sights, if I read correctly.
This is a taste of what’s to come if Trump is reelected. Mocking Dear Leader in good taste or bad becomes a punishable offense. Freedom of Speech goes out the window, disrespecting snowflakes in office is not allowed.
Happy Birthday Kyle
Keep on rockin! 🤘
That's a deportation-worthy statement?
In a country that has neither got anything to do with Trump nor with the shooting... Someone needs to pamper a certain voter demographic, I'd say
I'm sure all the fans that wanted to go to the show will be very thankful to the senator for cancelling the show at the last minute for political reasons. Free speech must not be allowed in Australia
CANCEL CULTURE!!!!
Can't make jokes without getting deported from Australia?
Politics really is just a show for morons.
I mean, it used to be that you got deported to Australia for spicy comments about the ruling class.
as always, they're based.
i don't think that idiot killing him would accomplish anything but don't pretend it would've been a sad day if we lost a SELF-PROCLAIMED WANNABE DICTATOR.
As an Australian, I'm sorry for how backwards and retrograde this country is.
Man everyone just gonna roll over for trump. Are we still expecting the justice system to hold him accountable?
Seems like it. Everyone is being told to stop the harsh criticisms of Trump because it's what fueled the political violence. Dont fall for the gaslighting. He's a fucking fascist and we should still treat him as such.
Oh no political violence is so bad!
Go tell that the bombed out kids in Afghanistan and to all the innocents from all over the world. Cry me a river, cause I won't shed a tear over a self proclaimed wannabe dictator. You get what you sow.
cAnCeL CuLtUrE11!!!! fReEzE pEaCh!!!!!!@
I'm so glad I watched that video clip that was fucking legendary. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLE.
If I didn't know better, I'd say they are trying to cancel Tenacious D...
Maybe he did miss Trump and wants to really meet him at the next opportunity? 🤔
You mean to say that right wing politician can't take a joke without getting offended? What a bunch of snowflakes. Man up, facts don't care about your feelings!
Did I fucking read that right that Jack Black said "all creative plans are on hold"? Does he want to disband Tenacious D over this?
I'm sure he's doing damage control, so that they can talk about it behind closed doors and ensure they don't step over that line again as a band or as individuals.
Tenacious D ... ixie Chicks
Free speech, you snowflakes.
Based!
Government officials get super pissed whenever the violence is aimed at them instead of the poor.
