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.

We all need to fight fascism globally in any way we can. It doesn't have to be anything huge. Even if it is only one simple act or word.
It's always the same people trying to oppress everyone else. You know who they are, and yes, it's usually the wealthy and the rightwing conservatives. I myself am watching half of my country vote for a literal anti-American Christian Nationalist convicted digital rapist piece of shit. My heart, soul, and love go out to all who just want to be left alone and left to live .
Strength be with the good and decent people of South Korea.
That's why I support low grade sabotage. In a customer service/support position and could help a customer out to the detriment of the company and perhaps against policy? If you won't get caught, do it.
Many years ago I was ringing a customer up when he questioned the price of an item. Manager happened to be nearby. Customer said he had even called ahead of time to verify the price. Manager just blatantly days "oh yeah. I think I actually took that call. Sorry about that. Well the price is what it is." And just walked off. Customer was just dumbfounded. I put the rest of his items in the bag without ringing them up.
The CIA has a bunch of great tips for simple sabotage.
You can't fight fascists with finger waggling or internet complaints, they only understand supersonic 9mm rocks pushed through metal tubes. Otherwise we could have simply asked Nazi Germany and fascist Italy to cut it out with soft words the entire time?
No, you don't softly complain or wag your finger. We remove those people and set things straight globally. You fight fire with fire. Remove the base of the pyramid until the tip is level with the ground. How many people exist in this world? How many billionaires are there? Oh, they can hire protection? Can they hire that much protection? I'm not at all saying to ask them nicely to stop. We just make them stop.
And how do I know I'm not the bad guy? I want to stop those that are interfering in the good lives of good people.
There were a lot of German patriots who resisted the nazis. And would you know it, the nazis lost that war.
Yes, I know there is more to it, but I'm going to keep trying.
Dictators only have power if people are willing to do what they want.
