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.

Oh look, we found the global pedophile cabal that’s been running the government. Unfortunately, the people who have been shouting about it for the last decade or so are going to be quiet because it’s their guys and they don’t hold their guys accountable.
Epstein donated mainly to the Democrats.
I mean duh, it's not like the Republicans needed convincing, or they were more readily blackmailed.
All the republicans running the government right now are turning up in his files though.
Epstein donated to both parties
Also, I guess we should lock up the democrats for taking a pedophile’s money, but not lock up the republican pedophiles currently running the government. Is that what they’re implying above?
First part yes. Second part no.
and actively disrupting the investigation of a ring of pedos, and have been for a decade - Acosta & Bondi especially have been obstructing this since before either were part of the federal government.
they all need to be on trial
Just as Amazon. The turns have tabled and the economic elite favors conservatism and GOP christianity. Bipartisan bullshit.
Corporate democrats and republicans both exist to propagate and entrench the power of the oligarchy. Epstein was a nexus of power for the oligarchy. He wanted everyone in power to owe him.
evidence?
Jeffrey Epstein donated to several Democrats throughout 1990s and early 2000s - ABC News
yeah democrats and republicans both suck
"Their guys"
You're so fucking close! Have you heard of Harvard? Bill Gates? Bill Clinton? Woody Allen? Chomsky? Come on man, just look for 5 minutes
There's no "their guys" it's all of them.
Unless by "their guys" you mean fabulously wealthy, in which case I jumped to conclusions and I apologize
Why is it that left leaning voices want everyone involved in jail and right leaning voices keep saying it didn’t happen?
Because Republicans lie about everything
I'm okay with those guys going to jail. Bill Gates is only on Bill Gates side. Woody Allen is pretty shunned as a creep. Chomsky's a bit of a surprise to some, but I'm okay with him in jail too. What's the problem?
Harvard, bill clinton, bill gates and woody Allen are currently running the government?
I mean this is fucking insane. When I first heard of this shit I was incredulous. I didn't believe it...
Now even if they turn out to be literally reptilian creatures like David Icke said I wouldn't be surprise.
That Les Wexner deposition video literally looks like a lizard in a skinsuit. That guy doesn’t have any normal mannerisms at all. Between him, Zuck, and Thiel it’s easy to see why people get into the lizard thing - even if it’s crazy.
I mean they kind of are in the sense that they lack all empathy, compassion, and guilt.
Trust me my ball python was empathic, compassionate and would feel guilty after biting me.
Also notably not a lizard ;)
Snakes are lizards for all intents and purposes, but colloquially zoologists and biologists won't refer to them as such.
Sort of like how birds aren't reptiles (they are) and corvids are not crows (they are, unless you're a dick about it)
Hmmm, the characteristics of a psychopath!
