A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

its so funny how opposite this is to reagan as well. preregan conservatives are so different from reagan conservatives who are so different from maga conservatives. its nuts.
The only consistant thing about conservatives over history is that they are almost always against good social progress, the ones of the past just had more sturdy spines
Being against progress is kinda in the name tho.. but i guess they can also be considered progressive, except progressing in an exceptionally shitty way
I wish conservatives wanted to conserve the environment
Then to compare them to Mccarthy era these maghats would have been disappeared
Its crazy how you can take the worst of the past with them and they look better than what they currently have.
Yeah, Reagan would probably be selling missiles to Russia to fund drug-smuggling death squads in Nicaragua.
this is tough because it so is not likely but at the same time I have no interest in defending reagan. I mean the reason he interfered in nicaragua is because of the anti commie garbage. although he might like putin given how capitalist he is nowadays. same with china.
What, just because he's betraying an ally for a hostile country actively trying to harm us?
Trump's pause on Ukraine aid is like the U.S. switching sides in WWII, expert says
Nice Shot!
What a save!
Well. That's it then.
Doesn't matter what the terrorists in charge say. Real America should double down on support for our friends in Ukraine.
Funding. Supplies. Volunteer work. Combat footage analysis. Supportive memes and propaganda. Offensive hacking of Russian assets for teh lulz. Whatever we can do.
How do we find the helpers here?
When you stop holding international laws when it doesnt work for you “see the zionist project” and then try to force it when it work for you, “see iran sanction and russia sanction” then now you get into a situation where a powerful government stop to pretend and ask “why i am doing this for other countries when i can take the money for myself”
European has supported the united state atrocity fully knowing they are committing illegal and war crimes, “see Iraq war” it is surprising to see these leader being shocked because any one with brain cell can tell you not to trust the US or any other country for that matter and always have plan b, c, to z.
I fucking hate it here.
We've always been at war with Eurasia
MAGA tried to overthrow our government once now government is in their hands. America is doomed.
And the working class is not going to rise up. It's going to eat itself.
fuck this fucking corpo nazi timeline
I think trump is doing all this to force Ukraine into giving up the wealth of their country for nothing. In short, trump is raping a country which is already on it's knees. They'll be a vassal state of the us rather than Putin, unless Putin makes a better offer. Then he'll crow about how great he made America.
Well, more to the point: it’s like the US canceling Lend-Lease for the USSR right before the battle of Stalingrad.
The US did halt lend lease shipments to the USSR in the middle of Stalingrad in order to support actions in Tunisia.
That’s a very different context and you know it. That’s resource scarcity and triage. What’s happening now is we’re switching teams to the bad guys.
Yes, I am quite aware. US cut off intelligence to Ukraine and are planning to end sanctions with Russia which is as if the Americans stop cooperation with the Soviets completely during WW2 and gave lend-lease to the Nazis instead.
I personally see Russian conflict with Ukraine to be more grey vs grey considering that there is footage of Ukrainian troops mowing down pro-Russian protesters with guns in post-Maidan Mariupol (not as bad as Russia’s Bucha atrocity I admit) but to each their own.
First the U.S now John Cena 😭
Inside Job called it.
