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.

This is violence against us all. This is pure evil. Israel has decided to march around like nazis, and we’re all forced to go along with it. How do we escape this moral black hole? Are we already past the event horizon?
Yes. If Israel was forced to stop today and the aid flowed in from across the world it will take generations to rebuild. And there's no replacing the lives lost or history erased. This is a stain that will haunt us for the rest of our lives. And it should. After WWII the world proclaimed "NEVER AGAIN". But clearly that was a fuckin' lie. My taxes pay for this. This is a personal stain on me myself. And a shame that will never go away. And its our job to make sure it never goes away.
I dare not hope for any kind of justice. The perpetrators will never pay a sufficient price. And I don't just mean the rank and file troopers putting bullets in babies. I mean the financial backers. The social media cheerleaders. The obfuscating politicians.
I will never compromise on genocide. Not for all the money. Not under threat of death. This is evil. Period, There are no shades of grey here. There is no balance. This is apartheid, genocide, ethnic cleansing. And it is evil. The worst evil that the human imagination has yet to concieve. And its industrialized. People had to work up to this level of depravity.
Now I’m wondering how one goes about boycotting federal taxes.
Go to HR. Ask for a W-4. Change your withholding to $0.00.
Congrats. You're no longer paying taxes. You will still owe taxes. They'll come for you eventually. Maybe. If the country lasts long enough.
I converted a couple W4 jobs to 1099 and have stopped paying quarterly.
For the remaining W4 jobs I set a stupidly high allowance so that it reduced withholdings super low (I was wary of claiming EXEMPT because I didn't meet the koala-fications, but I feel like I could argue high allowance was a typo or miscalc).
I'm paying thousands less per month in federal taxes now. After a couple years of this and filing I obviously owe quite a bit, but they put me on a payment plan and at this rate it'll take over 10 years to pay back assuming I don't keep adding to the balance each year.
If/when they forcibly try to come for it, I'll hopefully delay, deny, dispose. That is even if they exist AND I'm still in the US by then.
We had our chance in 2016 with Bernie.
