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.

Not until the US stops backing Israel. I pray for Trump to win, just so that the world wakes up from its current trance by the US elite, which managed to sell everybody the "American dream" and destabilize the entire world.
Did it happen last time he won?
Nope. And I remember saying the same shit. "At least it'll slap Americans around a bit and show them how far the've fallen."
It just somehow got worse and the world's punchline stopped being funny.
Everyone laughed at him when he spoke at the UN. So that was nice.
That was pretty much it though.
He didn't have enough time nor enough republican backing to fuck up the system enough. With that new project 2025 with the heritage foundation, things should be different.
They had full control of all 3 branches of government.
The RNC gets hacked. (But never released)
And then the train derailment. (Why is nobody aware of this?) https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/train-carrying-gop-lawmakers-retreat-hits-trash-truck-n843311
That's when Rs got in line.
They had no plan. There was a lot of infighting between the GOP and the republicans. Plan 2025 is a real thing.
Lol, you think he is draining the swamp. You gotta be a bot.
Where did I say that? Also what does draining the swamp even mean? What swamp?
You must've forgotten that he was already president once.
And that he has called for Israel to "finish the job"
Yes, and that did help a little. Are you not aware of the EU Digital Markets Act, BRICS, China's increased efforts to get rid of Microsoft, Apple and other tech giants?
You must be thinking of a different Trump. The one we have in America is a senile, diaper wearing old man who couldn’t even run a casino profitably and asked a medical professional if a possible cure for COVID was shoving a UV light up his own ass.
He doesn't need to. His cronies will. Project 2025 or whatever it's called.
You kno who will save us from the Elite Billionaires from major cities running the country? The Elite Billionaire from Ney York!
We don't want him. He's a Floridian now.
Not the country. Trump has shown that he doesn't know how to run a business. He droves so many things into the ground. If breaks more ties, steps out of more agreements like the Paris Climate Agreement, Iranian Nuclear Deal, and more, he will continue to show how much the world depends on the US - unrightfully so.
So, let me get this straight. You think a Trump win will ensure that the US will stop backing Israel?
Probably not. To him, probably one more dead muzzie is a worthwhile goal to strive for. But do you think him being surrounded by people screaming "a country unable to defend itself shouldn't get our support" and broad support from people who hate Jews is going to play well for long?
I'm really disheartened by the concept of democracy sometimes when I encounter certain voters.
Tell me about it. Trump would've never been on the ticket if republicans had a backbone, nor would Biden if democrats didn't blindly vote for whatever candidate the DNC backed. But maybe things have to get worse before they get better.
