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.

Hungary behaving like fascists again. I'm ashamed to be half hungarian.
EDIT: I was exaggerating when I said I was ashamed. I was just mad seeing the birthplace of my father in the news again doing shit like this. I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I actually like hungarian culture, history, cuisine, etc.
It's not my place to tell you how you approach your Hungarian heritage, just want to let you know that while Hungary pushed through a kind of soft book ban where LGBTQ books must be foil wrapped in the bookstores - to protect the children - It backfired and the wrapped books are more popular than before
Besides if the bigots pushing these laws are not ashamed of themselves, why should you be? You have as much right to mold the Hungarian identity as they do.
Edit:trying to add the source
That's definitely interesting. I'm glad to see the younger generations are fighting back.
Don't be ashamed of your (our) heritage. Orbán and his ilk wants that, to abandon our siblings in distress, and to create the perfect "christian conservative" (sic.) state without any flavor of social liberalism. Not to mention they have international friends, like CitizenGo, Putin, and the whole of the far-right MAGA team, so one must either fight or ignore it, either in Hungary or abroad.
As someone of German descent, I’ve found it helps to look at the people who fight for good. They’re always there, even when they’re a minority or lose
Also, we are not defined by the actions of those genetically similar to us, but by how we act in response to the situations we find ourselves in.
Hungary has a rich history, and if you wouldn’t shame someone for something in which they had no choice, why would you shame yourself? You’re fine.
I was wondering why the economy of Hungary is in the shitter, but now i finally understand it's because of lgbt philippinos. /s of course
here are the photos
Just to specify, the issue is with the Hannah Reyes Morales set (avert your gaze to the children bedazzled with shrapnel instead!)
