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 OCTOBER 19 2025
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.

Keep protesting for the people of Iran. Keep pressure on Western governments to act and support the Persian people. The Iranian people never wanted to live under a fundamentalist terror state.
Economic isolation against every individual official and commander killing their own people is the most important tool we have.
Keep the information channels open at all costs.

? aren't these protests hijacked by US & Israel to justify intervention ? what's the role of China and Russia ?
These protesters are victims of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. They're protesting for higher standards of civil liberties while two rouge, fascist nations utilize them as a means to instill regime change for their own interests. Complete disregard for human life, while the ayatollah see them as an accessory to US and Israeli aggression and clamped down on the protesters with more lethality.
And on top of that, Trump's corrupt foreign political donors in the middle east like the Saudis asked them to back down, and he did. So extra lives were squandered for virtually nothing.
Justice intervention? The country is being run by a magic holy priest that says protesters are enemy if the god and deserve death sentence. You have to be functionally brain dead or evil to side with that.
I don't think either of these is interested in justice
Yeah yeah "both sides are the same" yada yada - keep doing nothing in your eternal defeatism and preferably keep to yourself rather than spread this disease.
? did you try to reply to someone else ?
It sounds like you're mistaking me with somebody else maybe ?
