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.

Genocide Joe? 🙄
And who should voters replace him with, Mr Answers?
People are really working to rob that word of all meaning
"We are all domestic terrorists"
That's what they do.
Are they? Or do you just not consider Arab people humans? Maybe specifically Palestinians are the bad ones we can exterminate, in your mind?
Which Arab nations have Joe Biden exterminated, exactly?
Its been standing US policy to dehumanize Arab people since at least 2001.
Since the shores of Tripoli
I reject the premise of your comment.
neener neener poo poo to you as well
I see downvotes but I see no interaction with the two true assertions that make for this argument. Biden has the immediate power to stop this. And the this is a genocide of Palestinians.
Top UN officials have called this a a textbook case of genocide in all aspects. Even BEFORE Oct 7.
You are a modern holocaust denier. A special thing to observe.
Asserting that Joe Biden hasn't committed any genocides is not denying the holocaust. You know this very well, I think.
If you have to choose between Hitler and Stalin consider voting for a third party or not voting.
Voting for any person means you approve of their actions and you are complicit and responsible for them.
I don't think it means that necessarily. It's just as valid to vote strategically against an even worse party if they have a chance of winning. It's not morally contentious to vote for the lesser of two evils.
If you keep voting for the lesser of two evils there will never an incentive for a good one to show up because you won't vote for them anyways.
You're too busy voting for Genocide Joe.
Well I Iive in Canada but point taken. I'm still not sure I agree that it's on the voter to let the worse party win just to support a burgeoning better one. I'd say the responsibility is on that better party to secure their base and show a reasonable chance to win before asking voters to risk the worse party winning.
I can agree that concessions need to be made but any party that supports literal should never ever receive a vote.
In that case it's time to pull out the classic

The moral option is then a third party that doesn't support genocide to show that any party supporting it will never win your vote.
