What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Funny, even mentioning Ukraine in a post title starts a tankie fest. Fellas working overtime, I see

[–] mrbutterscotch@feddit.org 3 points 13 hours ago

Yeah, they are in overdrive recently. Had one calling me an imperial pig for saying that the Iranian regime, a theocratic dictatorship, are not the best of guys.

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

Wouldn't be surprised if there is some program that sources places to comment for these bots. Russia would be a logical keyword in that case.

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Seriously. It's like someone spilled tankie chum on the carpet, or something.

Open inside

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

My instance isn't even federated with hexbear or .ml and I still see a bunch on their alts

[–] Marasenna@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Just go back to reddit at this point, you'll be happier there.

[–] MasterBlaster@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 day ago

the whole platform we're using was made by tankies after all

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -5 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Funny how you're the one Tankie bashing, as usually happens with posts not in line with the banderite bootlicker's opinions.
And lol at the Kiev independent

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

That's not the name of the website...

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world -2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Damn, do the mods not protect the tankies here!?

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -4 points 16 hours ago

Usually they get banning, removing comments,etc...
Not for insults or breaking the rules but for writing facts or having opinions that go against the narrative.
Rabid fuming McCartyists can do anything they like.
This is the 'free western mentality' and the 'ruled based order' in a nutshell.
A bunch of hypocrites.
So no.

Do you really love being that wrong all the time?

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

bless the man who gave you your name

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe -4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Funny how you're the one projecting out of your Good Camp Approved Echo Chamber

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

LOL and that shitty flag to go along with it, so pathetic
I almost feel sorry for you little fascist losers, naaah

"lemme just attack a leftist real quick for heaving the AUDACITY for living in Ukraine and choosing to show an affinity for Ukrainian self determination when I didn't approve of it"

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Campist gotta camp. There's no "left unity" with these people, just like back in 1910s when Bolsheviks backstabbed everyone who helped them to build their own autocracy

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -1 points 16 hours ago

The left is forbidden like all anti-war parties in 'free and democratic' ex-ukraine.
No complaining about being kidnapped to die for a lost cause in the meatgrinder for the US benefit. The only 'leftist' in the banderite camp are the silly anarchists, they have a tradition of being useful tools for western imperialists and fascists.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

leftists in ex-ukraine get put in jail or their parties forbidden like 12 or so.
Maybe you should've honored the Mink accords and let the east and south have self-determination and not live under a coup regime that wants to treat them as second class citizens.
But no you chose to bomb them or burn them alive.
FAFO

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Ukraine is in close cooperation with anarchocommunist groups within Ukraine at the front and leftist groups from russia like Sibir Corps and Cut the Lines that the kremlin has labeled as terrorist groups. i don't know where you're getting your understanding that the modern day russian federation is the champion of the left in Ukraine, but it's certainly not a stance with a grounding in reality

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -2 points 14 hours ago

your understanding that the modern day russian federation is the champion of the left in Ukraine

Cheap fallacy of putting words in my mouth.

Russia is mostly conservative and I don't particularly like Putin.
But they are certainly the lesser evil against a US fascist proxy who get more and more unhinged every day.

has labeled as terrorist groups

This Sibir Corps are fighting against their country, so terrorists is accurate. Traitors also.
Maybe they should join the RVC?
Oh wait, they're from a different ethnicity. I see the problem there.

And as I said, typical of anarchists, fight against 'authoritarian regeeeem!'.
Invariably and only against enemies of the US.
They are an embarrassment and should stop dirtying the name of communism.
Some literally joined Azov.
I hope they get what they deserve.

That's sooo interesting how you're using the Russian spelling of Kyiv
