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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Doesn't that seem unethical, even if it might be lucrative?
If it's good enough for elected US representatives, it's good enough for me.
They were talking about ethics, something an elected official would know nothing about.
Yeah but they answered their own question. If it's lucrative, it's unethical.
The true answer is unequivocally yes. Fuck everyone who says otherwise trying to justify this ghoulish shit.
I would argue the whole system is unethical. Capitalism has never bothered itself with ethics. That said, it's arguably even more unethical.
Ethics are a social construct and are subjective. Thus - irrelevant.
Only irrelevant if you don't live in a society.
Irrelevant in any case. Unless you live in a conservative close minded society and never see any people from other cultures.

Not really, people have a right to defend themselves, and security is a human right.
Defending yourself? Of course that's a right. Making bank from WAR? Probably not.
Well, what in the hell are you supposed to defend yourself with if no one makes weapons!? What kind of fucking logic is that?
That's not what I'm saying tho? You're twisting my words.
I'm not saying no one should make weapons. I'm saying no one should be able to make lots of money by exploiting the suffering of others (which is in this case, war).
Oh come on, wth is lots of money? And where do you draw the line at some money being made?
Stares at casualties in Palestine yeah... No.
Step 1: go outside
Step 2: touch grass
Because when the grass is burning, it's kind of hard to touch it.
So you expect that at some point in the future of mankind, there will be a period with no active conflict and weapons snuggling? 😂 my sweet child...
I think snuggling weapons is weird but one of the best uses for them
My mad smuggling, but snuggling also works I guess 😎
Naruto in a nutshell
I wish
There's always a lot of weapons snuggling going on in the US.
Elsewhere... It varies, but typically, not so much.
From a Sci-Fi show about dyson spheres and habitats: "Where man goes, war will follow." Made me sad, because I guess it's true.
As soon as we can learn to share resources and land.
I wish... Archeology shows, that people have been killing people since before proper tribes where formed. Call me a pessimist, but i don't see a future where we truly learn to life peacefully.
Well I think of humanity as a "work in progress", improving over the ages, so my hopes are that we grow up out of killing each other instead of sharing resources and land.
Well, I certainly hope you are right
You and me both.
