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.

Not to diminish anything else here but have a look at how much they look like American police uniforms. You can tell we're a police state because we quite literally export it to authoritarians.
Lol, we export to everyone, don't get it mixed up. We're the biggest arms exporter in the world. Our customers are of all regimes, not just fascist ones
I quite literally never made that point nor would I. In fact I implied the opposite in that we are fascists and we're exporting fascism under the guise of policing.
Hunh? You think that the USA is a police state because we use similar police uniforms with Israel?
I'll make a bet we've trained them and a us company probably made and sold that uniform to them, hence export.
Actually, it's US police that go to Israel for training. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-us-police-training-end-knee-neck-protests
Crosstraining, they train us in operating open air concentration camps and we teach them how to gas protestors.
Extremely unlikely we are doing any of those things. US textiles are fairly expensive compared to almost all nations and there would be no reason to have US police training Israeli police since they follow different standards and do not encounter similar crime.
US made doesn't mean made in the us, more often then not it means made in Indonesia, shipped to the US, tags applied and resold. The US is quite literally the largest manufacturer and exporter of police equipment in the world by a large large margin.
Ed: https://www.amnestyusa.org/updates/with-whom-are-many-u-s-police-departments-training-with-a-chronic-human-rights-violator-israel/
They literally crosstrain with a police department that's so goddamn bad the federal government has to step in several times and their drug task force was disbanded and charged with drug traffic and criminal acts including torture and murder.
Ok but your example is the reverse situation where the Israelis are training American police after the US police crossed too many lines. So this isn't an example of the US training Israel to be more brutal but rather the Israelis theoretically training them to be less.
No it isn't, Baltimore is still under consent decree and they didn't go to Israel to get better at picking, they went to go get better at oppression which is what I said.
You literally suggest Americans trained Israelis and now that isn't true you are claiming you said the opposite.
They did train isrealis! It's in both articles! They trained us we trained them, different things, different reasons different results.
Your source only talks about Israelis training Americans. It never mentions at any point Americans training Israelis
