World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

I’m baffled by the whole situation. The irony is totally lost on the Israeli government. Flee right winged extremism, only to become them. What a ride!
This is why healing is so important. They didn't heal, instead they harbored a grudge. It's just like an abused child growing up and abusing their own children. Some people are unable or unwilling to do the work to break the cycle.
a grudge they took out on the people that helped them during their holocaust
And now they deserve to die, and nothing else. It's time to start killing any and all rightwingers, otherwise our planet and it's people won't heal and be able to make the world a better place
A little example of horseshoe theory in action.
You do know that the Soviets and Maoists genocided people too right? Genocide is not an economic right vs economic left issue. It's a power issue. Here is a right wing forum having pretty much the exact same thread with almost the exact some content. Sometimes the sky is blue and people everywhere can say the sky is blue.
Keep in mind when someone talks on a right wing or left wing forum they have to agree with 90% to fit in and use 10% to push toward truth. It's called nudge theory.

But look, people who are economically right can be against genocide just as much and call out the same genocide. Funny thing is the only people who aren't on the same page right now is congress. Um, and boomers. Congress and boomers. Everyone else thinks this is a genocide and thinks it should stop.
