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.

I am never going to forget that the US political system failed to employ its supposed superior checks-and-balances against a mad president brandishing nuclear weapons.
Even if you guys elect AOC as your next president, you're not coming back from this, nobody should ever trust you again, unless you do some big constitutional reforms. The ancient antidemocratic Constitution that you revere is obsolete and antiquated and your quasi-religious devotion to it trash and downright dangerous. Just like Nazi Germany had to denazify, you fuckfaces need to de-american-exceptionalism-ify.
The US should never have been trusted, and no superficial “reforms” the dems push should change that.
Not only did our leadership handcraft the bullet they shot themselves with, they poured the gasoline in the barn and set if off at the same time.
USA is fucked for a long time. We've burned every bridge imaginable for a few dollars. I hate it here.
Calling people subhuman and cockroaches is 100% Nazi rhetoric. You're part of the problem.
They did it against Romas, disabled people and Jews. They could not NOT be those things.
Fascists can stop being fascists anytime.
That's the difference.
All this unhinged fuck is doing is spewing this nazi debauchery everywhere he appears, and the mods are doing nothing to stop him, all they do is just remove a comment from time to time.
Extremely disturbing.
Nope. Nazis (conservatives) are in fact vile, subhuman cockroaches. I will never humanize nazis. That doesn't make me a nazi. That makes me normal. Stop defending nazis.
Nah. I see nazis. The normal people can see them just fine. You see them too, but as a tankie (conservative pretending to be a normal person) you just see them as peers to defend. That strategy will not work. Try harder.
No, it 100% makes you no better than a Nazi.
The Radical Republicans tried to put Gen. Sherman in charge of Reconstruction, but backed down under pressure. Let's do it right this time. Year Zero the motherfuckers.
A final solution! Your honesty is appreciated.
Ok then get in the fuhrerbunker, you can kill a fascist in there
Your post is just more indication why the USA just needs to end. If you're saying to want to impose your will on other Americans out of hateful spite, you're part of the problem. Americans practice hating each other every day and sometimes that hatred boils over and impacts other countries. Your culture is built on hate and as you point out, it's been this way for centuries.
I don't think a one state solution is viable any more for the USA. You shouldn't be thinking in terms of getting revenge on other Americans, you should be thinking in terms of breaking up the country.
Can't negotiate with fascist religious supremacists.
You LITERALLY can't compromise with any of that
The only problem the US has is conservatives existing in it. They are the sole source of every evil act the US has ever done. Every single single time. If destroying conservatives would result in the US dying, then we can agree. But the disease is absolutely conservatism.
Are you talking about Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama, Trump 1, Biden, or Trump 2?
(Carter gets a pass I think, don't tell me if he did anything murderous like the others, allow me one good one thank you)
As far as I know (maybe I'm wrong), even if each of these fucks was a war crimina in his own right, they didn't go around threatening to use a nuclear first strike to annihilate a civilization. There is something particularly evil about the brandishing of unclear weapons.
