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.

That's not an argument dipshit hit us with your competent plan to turn this around and we'll join behind you but all you've offered is derision and haughty quips.
That's not for me to say, I've never been to the US (fortunately). But I can think of a few option.
Massive strikes, for weeks. Boycots. Protests. Violence. Courage.
I'm portuguese. Go check our revolution in 1974, my father was part of it. It is possible if you want, people actually have the power.
Maybe start trying instead of insulting and being defensive. Like I care if you offend me on the internet.
That's an actual argument though not at all a plan, yes we all hope things turn around, talking shit on the Internet from your high horse isn't productive and you're more likely to turn people off of what you're saying then turn them onto it.
I didn't stay the insulting and offensive behavior, you did.
You can be high horse javi or you can be crybaby carl, it's very weird to try to be both.
Now let's look into the Portuguese revolution there's been like 6 and mmm maybe 4 in the last hundred or so years. Let's give you the benefit of a doubt and say you might be old enough your parent was in either the 1910 or 1974 revolution.
74 also called the carnation revolution, mostly non violent which is kinda dope. Any idea where they got the carnation idea? I do, it was the 1967 March on the Pentagon and one of the most famous protest photos of all time. Now this sounds great but it's a bit hidden behind the two decades of colonial civil war prior to the revolution. So we're exactly 19 years and like 320 days ahead of that schedule.
Let's take a look at 1910, again the prelude being colonial civil war and this time one they lost and were made to retreat by the English in 1890. So that's 30 years of strife and internal wars so again we're 29 years and about 320 days ahead of schedule on that one too.
Tell me how we speed run this thing since we don't have colonies to send into civil war che.
Hey, you win. I'm not discussing the history of my country with you. You're clearly very smart, very good at checking Wikipedia.
That point where you believe the "Carnation idea" came from the US is so american - you guys really think you're the center of the world. Get your facts straight, Wikipedia sometimes isn't enough. In case you're interested, the lady who sold the first carnation flowers (that were then used, reminding of your 67 thing) probably didn't even know how to read, it was an organic movement. She died this year, in case you wanna read about her. Of course, we gotta thank the US, because our revolution wouldn't have happened if we couldn't insipire ourselves on the almighty godly smart Americans.
My father participated, yes - I don't care if you believe it or not, he was 20 at the time. He was sent to the TV Station near Porto to avoid it being taken over by the government (propaganda). He had just returned from a war he didn't want to fight against the liberation movement of the colonies, in Mozambique.
Just sit and wait for the next elections that might never come. And in the meanwhile, come here and insult people who are scared of what your country might do to Europe.
I'm out mate. A bit of humbleness would do you good, but I'm afraid your head is too deep in the sand for you to realize that. No point answering cause you'll be left alone.
Good thing you don't need to read to understand a photograph that was literally everywhere because of how powerful it was.
Again, not helpful just preachy. Your country had civil war or colonial uprising for 50 out of a hundred years. We all have our issues and we're trying to solve them, this high horsed bullshit really isn't helping anything. You don't have any actual ideas about how to solve it you just have haughty quips and weird self righteousness.
No one asked you to be in mate. As it would you, help out instead of talking shit.

That's all they have, They sit behind a keyboard raging at the world because things aren't the way they want. All that energy would be better placed in looking for solutions.
