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.

What are the crimes against humanity committed by the Iranian government? There's no "they're like us", no one is/has been like America and their crimes besides the old Western powers it replaced, like France and the UK. And if you're talking about their internal issues, that actually caused the death of many innocents (and some paid actors), I ask you: you do understand that, just like in many countries over the world, America has tried to psyop, destabilise and coup the country for decades, inflicting maximum punishment with harsh economic sanctions, right? You know how easy it is to lead a country while you're being choked by the world's rapists?
No, man, get it together. At least a third of Americans voted for and approved of Donald Trump, but even more so approve of American imperialism as Obama has record drone kills and Biden was chummy af with Israel. Idk what the percentage of "third party voters" is in America but they could be the only to classify as "different from their leadership". Open your eyes, your country has fucked everyone outside of it against their wills, literally and metaphorically, and that's not because you're being mind controlled by a group of amoral foreigners but because it's in the country's ethos and the American mind just cares about material benefit (this is why we can't just say "hey, innocents are dying because of the American military, that should stop", we have to convince them with the price of oil and other things like that)... Trump is just a very ugly mirror to the country's actual values, and if you truly are against all of it you're as rare as a needle in a haystack.
Oh No, won't someone think of how hard the leaders of Iran have it? They are practically forced to execute their entire left wing after the revolution, institute a gender apartheid and shoot children during protests. Man, I really feel for them. One must really feel for them and not their fucking populace that gets ground up between a theocratic dictatorship and the imperialist war machine. But wait, no, all those protests are just paid actors. Like really, all of them are just paid off shills, they all deserve to die.
No really, the guys writing treatises about how raping children you """"married"""" is a okay are actually good because they no have epsteen.
Because standing up to the US means we must uncritically praise and run defense for anyone opposed to them. No matter who they are.
