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.

Dutch far-right activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek appears to lose right to UK visa-free travel (www.theguardian.com)

A Dutch anti-immigration influencer who has promoted conspiracy theories such as the “great replacement” appears to have had her authorisation for visa-free travel to the UK revoked.(..)

Your presence in the UK is not considered to be conducive to the public good,” it stated.(..)

“You’re always welcome in Hungary!” said Orban, whose country hosted her and others from the far right and hardline conservative parties in 2024 when she addressed the Conservative Political Action conference (CPAC).

Vlaardingerbroek spoke last year in London at Britain’s largest ever far-right protest, organised by the activist Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.

Appearing in a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “Generation Remigration” – a reference to a far-right buzzword regarded as a euphemism for forced mass deportations – she said: “They are demanding the sacrifice of our children on the altar of mass migration. Let’s not beat about the bush – this is the rape, replacement and murder of our people … Remigration is possible, and it’s up to us to make it happen.”(..)

Did you have "poor farmers" too in NL? fuck these people. Multimillionaires blocking the fucking highways are fine.

Kids who glue their asses to the road, somehow the devil.

I fucking hate the right and their useful idiots (half the population)

[–] Blubber28@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

The "poorness" isn't as much of a talking point here afaik, but more to do with the reduction of livestock farming. Long story short, a lot of our soil is currently used for agriculture, which means we have a lot of nitrogen emissions, mostly from fertilizers. The only viable solution is to vastly reduce our livestock (with proposals going so far as to halve it). Unfortunately, the farmers don't like this, so they blocked the roads and brought manure into cities.

Now I should stress that I am absolutely in favour of halving our livestock, but the farmers here were also really fucked over in some regards. Big banks, predominantly the Rabobank, pressured farmers to take on big loans to build even bigger stables for livestock, knowing full well that this was coming. They are counting on the government to help out the farmers, which means a lot of taxpayer money for them. There are many farmers that behave like assholes, going so far as to intimidate politicians at their homes, so I have little sympathy for them. But I cannot deny that the situation was not entirely of their own making.
