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.

Democrats let fascism ramp up without doing anything, and now they aren't doing anything to even slow it down. Are you denying that this is the American situation?
I'm saying this is what centrism does when the slightest hint of fascism starts pushing and shoving: they give in, pretend to compromise, they're happy when the fascist says "fine, we'll cut our expectations for 20 crimes against humanity down to 10, but it'll be back next week" and they pretend that's progress. Sometimes they put their foot down, but only when putting your foot down has zero effect, and they say "see, we tried".
That is centrism, that is what Democrats did, and that is what's happening here too with those "reasonable" parties. The "reasonable" argument is only on this side of the Atlantic, of course the Nazis in the US aren't even pretending to have any reasonable discussion. But they did have a phase claiming that the Dems were rude and not doing anything bipartisan, which is why the Democrats tried so hard to project this image of reaching across the aisle for so long. See where that got them.
Absolutely I am.
You people are just as foolish and easily propagandized as the fascists. I miss the days when despite your foolishness, you would at least help fight against fascism instead of spending all your energy attacking Democrats.
You refuse to vote for the candidate running against fascism, and then when she loses, you bitch and moan that she didn't do enough. You're like children, with your nonsensical temper tantrums. When pressed to the point that you finally give details, you say "well Democrats should have done x, y, and z" and are astonished to find that Democrats have been doing x, y, and z since before you ever cared about politics. "That wasn't on my TikTok feed!!!"
Harris didn't fail. AOC didn't fail. Gretchen Whitmer didn't fail. Gavin Newsom didn't fail.
YOU failed. All of you who withheld your votes and your support.
