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.

Zelensky is the best person to be in the position he has, all things considered. Seems like a stand-up guy, and not a career politician that you’re gonna worry has other motives in mind.
A true man of the people.
“Slava Ukraini!”
Fuck Trump and MAGA. I am beyond disappointed in my country.
Seems like a stand-up guy
I mean, duh, he used to be a comedian!
I'll see myself out now....
Go move to Ukraine lol
No. You go to Ukraine—and make sure you wear your MAGA hat.
Nah, imma stay in the country whose leader I voted for lol
Nazis fuck off
Not a nazi. Just a honest hardworking man haha
so those running away to avoid conscription are coming back? /s
you might even find fucked up news like russian and ukrainian ganging up together and doing illegal online scamming, while based in Phuket region.
in reality, it's no so black and white. and online "reaction" are never representing on the ground situation.
and online “reaction” are never representing on the ground situation.
Unironically saying this as online reaction such as this, absent of any evidence or being on the ground themselves.
Fleeing from conscription is common across all wars, no matter how just. Russia has massive problems with people fleeing. Anyways, that's not really what the article was discussing.
It actually is pretty black-and-white in terms of who is fighting a just war, and who is fighting a war more akin to Hitler's invasion of Poland.
Out of all the conflicts in the world, Ukraine is the simplest, most black and white one there is. It's one country invading another, and quite openly stating they want the other country to do as they say, or else.
Ukraine didn't attack Russia. There are no Ukrainian terrorist cells bombing places within Russian borders. There are none of the things in this conflict that wouid make it complicated.
It's one country invading another.
So ask yourself; do you condone unprovoked invasions?
Donnie really thinks that people look at him in awe and wonder.
I mean I do not understand it but there are a lot of people that absolutely do. A shockingly high number.
And these people consistently vote.
That's the thing that people on the Left need to understand.
Voting matters.
The MAGoos vote in every election.
Until the Left makes voting a priority the MAGoos will always have the advantage.
Yeah, but that might be because Trump panders to the ideologically radical part of their base and promises a vision of the US that is different than how it looks like. I sincerely think he represents hope for change to those people, however fucked up that is.
You guys need a leftist Trump, not the mentally disabled part, but the "actually fights for an ideology and vision" part. Like pack the courts, make Republicans fight in the courts to strike down unconstitutional orders for socialized healthcare, appoint an AG that puts people like Trump in prison, or just well... do something.
I'm in Texas (Dallas) and i don't really see those people. Most of the Republicans i know love George Bush but when you mention Greg Abbott or Trump they just shake their heads. It's the rural areas.
It is the rural areas.
I’m in rural TN, and the Trump cult is embedded deep here.
I get to look out my bedroom window and see Trump flags every morning.
I'm in Massachusetts and can report much the same here. Outside the cities, there's plenty of MAGA maniacs. You could see "Trump 2020" flags still up all throughout Biden's term in spots.
Rural Pennsylvania here. If the orange Jim Jones started a Kool-Aid line his folks here would fight to be first in line.
Fuck ukraine
You're such an edgelord!
Why?
