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.

Biden is to the right of the tories lmao.
With that said, you do seem like a Nick Clegg kinda person. He runs meta as Zuckerberg's equal these days lmao. Lib dems.
Yeah that's fair. But what's happening is the biggest movement we've seen in months, and the numbers flying around (build has been since february) are fine. Like I've said elsewhere though I also think it's possible this offensive will get bogged down in cluster bombs. We shall see.
At least we're not in the "you're talking bullshit" headspace now. You at least understand I'm not just making shit up.
I've never thought you were making shit up (except "Biden is right of Tories" lmao). I said your conclusions were wrong.
He's a bigger warmonger, a bigger strikebreaker, doesn't want universal free at point of service healthcare, starts more wars, and keeps more children in cages. Although with our new prison boat they're certainly trying to catch up.
I'm fairly confident Biden would be fine if I was shot for climbing on a weapons factory roof and smashing the building up, that or guantanamo'd. We do it on the regular and far from getting shot we don't even get prosecuted. Been doing it to Elbit factories that make weapons for Israel for over a year and a half now without a single prosecution.
I think a fairly good litmus test for "who is further right" is to check which one of them would disappear me to a blacksite for being an effective leftist, and that isn't the tories I'm afraid mate. America has marched incredibly far right. It has no left, not electorally anyway, local wins excluded.
Lmao well at least you admitted you're crazy so we can stop talking
Is it crazy if we've permanently shut down 3 factories and an office? It's been working and will continue until every single Israeli weapons factory in Britain is gone.
Smashing shit gets the goods mate.
