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.

Wonder if conservatives knew they were voting to destroy all America's allegiances. Or if their brains were incapable of thinking that far ahead.
I'm gonna go with option 2.
They also seem to think "fuck at least 2/3 of America".
They don't consider those people "America".
Have you talked to a Republican or MAGA?
They cheer on destroying relations with Europe.
Unfortunately it’s not a position only MAGA takes. Horse shoe theory is real. There are extreme lefties who hate NATO and EU so much that they rather see the west fall completely apart and fall into chaos, since they think they will come on top when we crawl from underneath the rubble.
Right but is that 'horse shoe theory' because it just sounds like there are multiple reasons to support things.
Horse shoe theory is nonsense.
I dislike NATO since its a US protection racket and I dislike EU because they're forcing chat control and cowtowing to the US.
I dont want the 'west to fall', I want to be free and sovereign from the US' war machine.
I don't believe we'll naturally rise above if things collapse, but I do believe we'll be dead before too long if the US continues forward with its acts.
Being pincered by Russia on the east and the US on the west is a pretty terrifying concept - if only China would save us.
Yeah we need to change things from within rather than burn it down to the ground and hope for some foreign savior who will probably act in it's own interest. Like the reason why the EU wants to turn itself slowly into a police state is only because the people have been voting for lib-right and Christian democrats for the last 30 years or so. If we had center left and left wing parties in power for that period instead the EU would have looked a lot different today. Change is still possible.
They have been convinced that the entire world is somehow abusing the poor widdle usa.
they hate our freedoms.
The biggest psyop ever is Americans believing uncritically that they are the “freest”. Free to go into medical debt, free to have no access to healthcare, free to have 800,000 unhoused people, free to have entire towns of meth heads, free for kids to get shot up in school, free to be unhinged racist, homophobic and transphobic pieces of shit, free to disappear their own citizens, free to have a population that’s statistically morbidly obese, free to be mostly illiterate, free to have massive wealth inequality, free to never have dental care, free to elect a reality tv show host with dementia as their leader - twice 🤡
Their only option was Trump or a black woman so they chose the "lesser evil" which (again) turns out to be the much bigger evil.
I mean, they still cant grasp that or what it means.
Most Trump supporters probably can't even name more than 10 non-english speaking countries that aren't Mexico, Russia or China, and one their answers would probably be "Africa".
International politics doesn't even come close to their thought processes during election time.
Most stopped processing after "make America great again". They really were thinking shit would just magically get great without any care as to the how and for who
I honestly believe they didn't think that trump was actually going to go through with a lot of it, and that 'he talks a lot of shit, and triggers the libs' and that's it.
I think they just wanted four more years of Trump term 1 which was retarded but certainly not this horiffic.
There is still a wildly vocal support base online so it's hard to hear the voters who have silently realised their mistake.
And yes it has cost allegiance, that won't come back as easily this time.
Things I'm seeing online are like ... "he does what he says/he keeps his promises" "better for the economy" ... fucked that none of those make sense and you'd have to be an idiot to believe
So many believe in the whole American exceptionalism shit so I think they believe some of their shit is their birthright or something.
