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.

This is the world now. It's the 2nd grade.
"Losing sucks. I can't possibly lose. I can't conceive of a world in which I've lost. I can't work in a world where I've lost.
"I will contrive the world to my own advantage. I will kill, lie, destroy, steal, pillage, and salt the earth. I will make my loss as unbearable to everyone around me as I can until I'm handed a win.
"And then, when I've got what I want, I'll make everyone regret having conceived of going against me. Others' suffering secures my power."
This isn't a society. It's an abusive relationship with all the hallmarks of a hostage situation.
Democracy was conceived of in response to all of civilization being run by tyrants just as you describe. This behavior is not at all new, it's how autocrats think.
We didn't finish the job and that's why we're in this mess. We left all the petty tyrants that rule over our workplaces alone and they put democracy on a leash.
"Look, you people just aren't as smart as I am. Whatever I think is right, and the best thing to do. All the smart people agree with me.
So, it's best if we just do what I want.
I'm glad you understand it now, and that this is finally settled."
All these dipshits don't just have their office on the line.
Like Trump and Putin, Bibi isn't just running for office but running from prison.
They see what happened to Duterte, Jair Bolsanaro, etc.
maybe the fact these guys can even plausibly cheat is a deeper indictment of the entire system?
At this point, we should maybe go back to the old venetian system.
Yeesh where the hell did you go to 2nd grade?
San Francisco.
The '80s. Before IEPs.
I mean can you blame them? There is like an 80 percent chance no one will hold them accountable for their bullshit. They pretty much have nothing to lose and every thing to gain. The current US president spawned an insurrection and the country voted him back in....
the right should not have rights.
if they want slavery, I don't see an ethical problem giving it to them
It's a trade floor, and we're the dollar bill to the billionaire.
"When I lose, it's because the other cheated. When you lose, well, sucks to be you, so why can't you handle losing?"
