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.

That is some weird shit.
jfc, would someone please dom this man already and help him get all the bootlicking out of his system in a healthy way that doesn't jeporadize international affairs.
In all seriousness though, this is sad as fuck. What a pathetic waste of flesh and bone.
That's some hardcore toadying. If it didn't have such nasty real-worl consequences, it'd also be comical, since Trump clearly regards fundies as suckers.
These idiots projecting their religion onto a man who regularly makes fun of their religion is pretty weird by its self but mike is getting extra weird
I wonder if he's one of those believers that the destruction of Israel will usher in the end times and Jesus' return to earth and has the biggest boner right now over escalating this conflict.
I'm pretty sure he is. The weirder thing is I'm pretty sure he knows trying to bring about the rapture of one's own will is a one way ticket strait down.
Those arrogant fucks think they can force God's hand.
Incidentally, most of their end-times beliefs were made up in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It's all a bunch of shitty fanfic from mentally unstable cultists. As opposed to mainstream Christianity, which is based on fanfic from deranged cultists from the first to fifth centuries AD, plus a bit of window-dressing added in the late Middle Ages.
I prefer cult classic over new cult.
I don’t think they do actually. Most of the super religious people in my family are Southern Baptist, they all firmly believe that they have a duty to spread the word of god because everybody living has to have been given the option to accept Jesus before the rapture can happen.
They are seriously a death cult who seriously want the rapture to happen and seriously believe they have a part in making it happen.
It is not those who hear the law, but those who do the law, who shall be delivered.
It's astonishing how many self-professed Christians straight-up ignore Romans 2.
Epictetus puts it even better though:
It's the act of trying to make it come on your schedule. Doesn't matter to mcchristians but no one is supposed to know when it would happen. Also runs afowl of putting ones own judgment above god but that's a borderline scholarly argument these people don't have the capacity to consider
Yeah, they're an incredible arrogant bunch of racist tent-show snake-juggling hucketers.
The only Evanglicals I've ever met who try to walk the walk are from the Black churches.
Sorry that it makes you uncomfortable, but they are Christians too.
Your religion is evil and always has been.
I'm not Christian so I don't really have a skin in the game but insofar as I'm still Lutheran: No, those people aren't Christian. Well, actual Lutherans would never say it like that but talk about "people regrettably being in grave error" but same difference.
Point being is that you can't profess to follow a religion if you ignore core tenets. You can't be a dancer if you never dance. And you can't be a Christian if your creed boils down to "Jesus was too woke".
Christianity has always been self-righteous and arrogant (see the Lutheran "charity" above), but that's not the same as evil -- otherwise the French would also be inherently evil. They can, indeed, be quite rad on occasion.
Not my religion. I just read and don't paint people with broad brushes. A grand total of 9% of Christians have read the bible; like you, captain armchair, people just don't like to read.
Huckster is a weird fuck.
You know, I didn't think this was WW3 yet. I thought this was going to escalate proxy wars and spread fear across the globe at a scale we haven't seen since the height of the Cold War, but... the President just quoted an Ambassador in Jerusalem asking for a thermonuclear World War in God's name.
The New Crusades was not on my bingo list.
It was on mine, unfortunately....
Ah fuck, why am I not even surprised?
