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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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 going to work. It‘s capitalism and here specifically the German economy in crisis, no significant tech or industry is left, that would still be relevant in the medium to long term.
Like the US they‘ve been counting on fossil fuels for far too long, are crashing their last big industry, automotive, because of it and are now escalating towards war economy in the hopes to claim new markets and keep the economy up. They’re already one of the main suppliers for Israel and Ukraine.
Rheinmetall is growing fast, forced labor was already being tested and is on the horizon for the jobless in general. All while the war ministers are drumming up public support for a preemptive war against Russia. The military is heavily supported and financed, while the social infrastructure is being systematically destroyed. Propaganda is in full swing and dissenting voices (journalists, press) are being sanctioned with very questionable reasoning. Once war is imminent or already on, people will be forced to work for companies such as VW, only then to build stuff for the war machine. Fascism is knocking, German imperial ambitions are back.
Meanwhile, all major parliamentary parties are in on the war frenzy, even the left (die Linke) to an extend, but CDU (conservatives), SPD (social democrats), AfD (far rights, potentially part of the next goverment) and even Grüne (neo-libs with a green tint, lately olive) have morphed into full on war and repression maniacs seeking confrontation.
Arbeiter, hörst du es nicht?
I love how you frame Germany preparing to defend Europe as such a negative. I mean, we should just quietly die to Russian tanks without preparing to should we?
That‘s just not the reality. The motivation for an outright confrontation is Europe‘s.
Germany defending Europe. Lol! Sure that‘s a perspective some people had back in the thirties.
This is such a shitty take on reality, after the remains of a failed empire that are called russia have begun a war against Europe years ago. With troops on the ground in Ukraine, with sabotage, murders and informational warfare elsewhere in Europe.
Also throwing Israel and Ukraine in one bag while Israel, like Russia, is clearly the agressor, committing horrible war crimes, is a fucking joke.
Go away, tankie.
Thanks, I prefer my shitty take over your scrubby narrative rehash without actual grounding in reality. Not sure how it helps calling everyone with dissenting perspectives a tankie makes any sense. Surely only, if you’re actively trying to remain ignorant and keep your indoctrinated mind at ease.
Das sind die Stimmen der Kriegsminister!
