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.
-
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.

Carney should send some kind of delegation down there. You know...nothing official. Just to "talk".
I'd be curious to see how many are actually expatriating to Canada right now from the US.
Whenever anyone left of The Homelander gets elected to office, there are waves of conservatives screaming about leaving the USA all over the internet and also getting on local news and shit, and the problem with this narrative from the right is that if they want to go somewhere further right than the US already is, they would have to go to somewhere like Russia... which is exactly what a couple did, ending predictably. The rest are too chickenshit to actually move to a place that doesn't have the comforts liberal democracy has given them.
But shit, Canada is a fantastic option if you're trying to escape things like being sent to the frontline of a trench war and think that you shouldn't be killed in the street for not having your papers, and they're just a snowy fenceline away for thousands of miles. Is Carney drafting plans for a mass immigration?
If he gets too many US refugees, will he have to make his own ICE to round up American immigrants? Can I at least ask my Canadian brothers up there to make sure it's named ICE ICE BABY?
The unfortunate thing with voters is that those most able to emigrate don't vote Conservative; so all they can do is wonk at the press. When the lefties - typically better educated, as per the stats - want to emigrate, they actually have a chance.
I'd like to see stats too, obviously.
Even more against conservative expatriates is the fact that they're conservative to begin with is because they're scared of change and new cultures and experiences, and expatriating anywhere would terrify them, they would never be able to navigate the requirements, background checks and interviews and even tests that often come with immigrating legally to another country.
But many progressives have traveled the world, are educated and unafraid of integrating into new cultures and having new experiences. I've been all over Asia and even know people who would take me in and give me a room and a job if I showed up on their door they're so warm and friendly to someone willing to do things like be quiet and listen and try new foods and learn and take off their shoes entering a stranger's house.
The only way conservatives seem comfortable in foreign lands is when they're already wealthy so they can join some gated community of equally horrible people like the weird stories of gentrified neighborhoods in Mexico that are increasing. And the fact that so many of the people who enabled ICE in our country are retiring in Mexico speaks volumes that few people will ever read into.
No. We're not criminals.
