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.

Don't forget we're the good guys, everyone!
WW2 was a long time ago.
And we didn't fight it because the enemy were bad people. We fought it because we were attacked.
Yep, we don't teach in us schools the isolationist position of ww2 or the war profiteering during both ww¹ and ww² while playing the isolationist.
Between the indiscriminate chemical weapons and the nepotistic generals ordering hundreds of thousands to their futile deaths, isolationism in WW1 was still probably the right idea.
Sure but you'd have to actually be isolationist not war profiteers.
Are you saying barring Pearl Harbor the US would not have participated in WWII?
We were already participating in WW2 before Pearl Harbor. Lend-Lease was packing the UK chock full o' guns, food, and oil. The "Arsenal of Democracy" speech was 1940.
Exactly
And waited until it was already clear that the Nazis we going to lose before entering the European theatre.
And dropped two nukes just to flex its powers. Mind you those nukes were dropped at the end when it was only about time for Japan to capitulate. Killing directly and indirectly hundreds of thousands of innocents.
Don't forget the fire bombs over Tokyo, a city of mostly paper and bamboo houses, causing an exodus for innocent people.
Well, at least nothing like that happens anymore....... /s
Your source talks about events prior to 1939. Poland and France had not been attacked yet. Most people didn't know what Nazi Germany's plans were.
Freedom!
