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.

Im personally in favor of him getting Ghadaffi'd
How about Mussolini'd?
Once upon a time, people knew what to do with authoritarian dictators.
He can get Putined once somebody invents a sufficiently horrible meaning.
"Putin on the Ritz"
Drop him from orbit on to the Ritz London hotel.
It should probably involve polonium tea and an open, high window. For starters.
Hung by his feet and dead body beaten by mothers of dead soldiers.
And each member of pussy riot gets to take a bullwhip to his ball sack.
Mason jar in his rectum filled with hornets. Plus the aforementioned hanging upside down, ball smashing things.
last I checked, the main one was in LA and doing crypto, so . . . .

Can I offer Ceaușescu as an option?
Mussolini didn't get a sword up the fundament. I saw video where Ghadaffi did.
for putin it would likely be a window, a plane accident, a boat accident, a novichik underpants, or an sudden energetically volatile device.
and then put his granddaughter in power, ah la Italy ?
You see, in Italy everyone has the freedom of becoming politicians and since she did nothing wrong she could get in power too, having the same blood of Mussolini do not mean you are bad... Now, i agree with what she did? Hell nah and she can also go fuck herself
Also, most Italians seems to not have learned anything from fascism since— as of now —most parties are far right, right, centre-right and some centre-left, the far left and left ones never get in the parliament too
how'd that wind up for Libya though?
A failed state is always a shit show anyway.
Putin extracted obscene amounts of wealth from Russians, then sent hundreds of thousands of men to their deaths invading a country Putin has a fantasy about controlling for... reasons?
Idk about you, but any way you look at it, things won't improve until regime change. And Putin executed his opposition.
Plus Putin had stated a particular fear of Ghadaffi's execution.
