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.

The very idea that some groups of people are arbitrarily “recognized” and accorded extra privileges by the powerful and others are not is offensive to me.
There is a difference between nations and ethnicities, and there are many people whose homeland is ruled by others, or whose homeland is part of an amalgamation of different different ethnicities under the umbrella of a single nation. I'm pretty at least some of these countries that don't recognize the country of Palestine recognize Palestinians as a distinct ethnicity.
None of that detracts from the general sentiments you raised, touches on whether or not Palestinians (or other ethnicities) should have their own nation, or excuses what I believe to be the Palestinian genocide being perpetrated by Israel.
Wait until you find-out about "recognized" evidence vs "not scientifically valid" evidence..

To me that's Greenland icemelt water, which, being freshwater, & therefore less-dense than salt-water, forms a skimcoat on the North Atlantic.
To the Consensus Science Establishment, it's hogwash to claim so, because they haven't authorized that to be scientifically valid.
What ELSE could have produced it, except icemelt??
Morons..
Here's some climate-scientists admitting that NONE of their climate-models have included Greenland icemelt until 2024,
& that when you include that, then the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current .. visibly has been shutting-down since 1950 or so.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-024-01568-1
This-decade, they expect that there will be more than a MILLION FEWER CUBIC-KILOMETRES of water flowing through AMOC, than in the 1940-1950 decade.
Thanks to "only the Authorized speak Valid Science" paradigm, then worthless people like us, who insist that not-only is The Cold Blob climate-significant, it's ecologically significant, as it's got to be poisoning all zooplankton who get caught in it ( due to its low-salt ), thus trashing part of the ecology of a HUGE area of our planet..
our stating-the-fucking-obvious is nonvalid.
My religion's Empiricism: it doesn't matter "who" you are: IF it's true, THEN it's true.
You can be a homeless person with no highschool, you can be a many-times-degreed person with a Nobel Prize, & IF it tests-to-be-true, THEN it tests-to-be-true.
Consensus "Science" is Scientism: it works by holding that itself is valid, & all outside itself isn't.
This "Consensus Science" ignored huge, important evidence, until it was too-late.
7 decades too late, in AMOC's case.
at 2C warmer it'll be 33% shut-down.
England's going to be having Canadian climate, this-century.
Kiss their food-growing-capacity for their traditional crops, goodbye.
The real problem is that the proper paradigm is Empiricism, but then you have to decide on each piece of evidence/information,
& to do that, you have to have people who decide..
Establishment defaults to deciding that itself is valid, & outsiders are nonvalid.
Empiricism has to do differently, but that takes more energy, more work, more integrity, etc, & therefore is more-fragile..
Which is why establishment-self-importance has such an easy time displacing integrity from our world..
It could be done, but would require a systems-of-systems approach to identifying validity in scientific evidence..
Now try mapping that from science to populations:
What are the criteria for "a valid people"?
What are the criteria for "right to self-govern"?
Do you see how no matter who decides, others are offended by that specific decision?
How the upright will decide things 1 way, but the machiavellian-psychopaths will decide in fundamentally-different ways, consistently?
Do you see how IF you decide to do The Right Thing, now there are very-heavily-armed-thugs who will murder one's family & self, in order to prevent one from "infringing on the mafia's turf", to remap the international-politics onto organized-crime?
It isn't politically-possible to Do The Right Thing, & survive having done that, right?
Therefore, one tries to find what compromise .. one can live-with, for now ..
& .. then one finds one is trapped in multiple abusive-relationships, & can't get out, without making things even worse ..
& this is approximately the current-situation of every country ( with uprightness ) in the world.
IT ISN'T POSSIBLE TO WIN.
It only is possible to lose-less, if one is careful, in this world-game..
