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.

Even though the riot has been questionable in terms of goals and it's character, it's been insanely funny to see liberals going mask off everywhere because property damage, especially on reddit and twitter. Really shows where their priorities lie
Must be nice to live in a world where you don't need to worry about where the money is going to come from to rebuild a building that was burned down.
Here in the real world, we understand the fallacies around broken windows, we know that resources used to fix the damage are resources that won't be used for making things better. Instead of building housing for the homeless (or anything else you could imagine that would make people's lives better) they will need to spend resources to rebuild their town hall instead.
This is an action that hurts government services, but I guess you're pretending it's some kind of socialist victory to do that?
There's a significant probability that there was foreign influence involved. Foreign actors seeking to make life worse for people in countries they consider to be their adversaries are always pushing people to burn things down. The end result is whatever movement does this loses all credibility and things get a little worse in the target country.
Nobody in France benefits from this action.
They won't spend the money to house the homeless anyway. The money is being siphoned by the right from the people to the capital.
Either you know enough of French politics, and know they're getting butt fucked by the private sector, or you don't and you can just stfu.
I’m privilidged and the building was helping me with my privilege through the state. Why would a bunch of under represented underprivileged people destroy a building that wasn’t helping them and most likely actively hurting them? Don’t they care about the fact I have to pay taxes to fix the building that was only helping me and other privileged folks?
Moralists should go defend these structures more ardently before they come online and cry about it.
The falacy of broken windows is bullshit.
The windows maker gets paid so he can feed his family. I'll take that over some bullshit tax relief any day.
Anyone using the word liberal as a slur is either a nazi or a different kind of nazi. In any case, extremely blockable.
Referring to people who hold liberal positions politically (i.e. pro-market, pro-democracy, pro-private property) as liberals is a slur? Did you just look at my name and immediately assumed the worst without thinking about what I wrote for even a second?
Edit: Judging you from your other comments, you're literally one of those people lol

To them right wing just means conservationists? Which is odd as they are against nazis who are right wing and who were most definitely not conservationists
