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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

You can't take that with you, though..
Once his current-incarnation/life terminates, & all his unconscious ignoring/denying releases , .. firing his continuum/soul away from what he had been "possessing",
then his continuum's/soul's "reaping of what it had sown" will make his continuum's/soul's future-someones be having hell-lives after hell-lives after hell-lives, for all the exploitation/abuse his privilege stood-on, this-time-'round.. ..until it balances-out, grinding-through soul-unconsciousness, resulting in soul-gnosis/understanding.
shrug
His continuum/soul will learn: that's the whole point of OceanOfAllPhenomena.
That original-awarenesses ( continuums/souls, not mere incarnation/life minds, let-alone the mere-hours-duration SurfaceMinds we narcissistically call "consciousness" )
.. get to have THEIR OWN experiencings, no matter how many lives+deaths that takes for a given continuum/soul, every single one gets to choose its own path, & is forced into experiencing ALL consequences of its indulgings/committings..
( technically, it's much less "personal"/sociopolitical:
a continuum/soul emits meaning into OceanOfAllPhenomena/Universe,
then it is trapped in OceanOfAllPhenomena BY that emitted-meaning, UNTIL it has reabsorbed ALL of the emitted-meanings, & ONLY THEN can it dissolve-out-from soul-containment/recycling/reincarnation. ( yes, universe recycles ALL energies contained within it, including meaning-energy, in spite of the Physicalist-dogma that meaning "isn't real" and "doesn't exist" )
This is why AwakeSoulism, aka "Buddhism", tells us straight-up that replacing lead-chains ( bad-karma ) with gold-chains ( good-karma ) isn't itself enough to free our continuum, one has to have NO karma, in order to become free-from-entrapment/imprisonment/containment.
The only way to have NO karma, is to have no involvement-attachment when committing circumstantial-action: to let go of everything, letting it all be, in equinimity, while committing only right-action, dismantling one's existing emitted-meaning-balance-sheet/karma, see?
Contrast that paradigm/principle, with what Musk, a former Vajrayana ( he counted Tenzin Gyatso, the "Dalai Lama"/Ocean-Guru, as his teacher, years ago ), is enforcing into his own continuum's/soul's Eternity..
The reason I'm explaining this perspective-difference, is simple:
The root-guru of the Christians, benJoseph, told people that the 2nd Great Law was "love others as one's own brother", right?
The problem is that that was a dumbed-down version of LivingSpirit's instruction, appropriate to the Animals-&-Tribes-Time men he was talking to..
The CORRECT rendition of LivingSpirit's meaning is:
"love all SOULS as one's own soul's brother, but dispute the children-of-souls/lives/incarnations which are committing wrong-meaning",
which is entirely-more-complex than what would have stuck in the minds of benJoseph's followers ( he railed against their stone-heartedness, repeatedly, in their bible, try reading biblegateway's CJB book of Luke, for examples of that, if you want.. ).
So, considering the 2 perspectives, lives vs souls, simultaneously..
Musk is digging a grave & throwing his own future-someones into that grave, & tamping it down solidly, for sake of his personal dominion, only this time 'round.
Our regimes' accommodating of this behavior proves our regimes are narcissism/machiavellianism/sociopathy instead-of ForTheBenefitOfAll/ForTheBenefitOfLivingWorld, as they ought be..
But .. he CANNOT escape reaping what he has sown: none can..
Essentially, he's a toddler "eating candy instead of real-food, who doesn't understand that there WON'T BE ANY real-food, in his future", & has sold-out his own future-viability, for sake of momentary-supremacism, now..
This means that I don't need to have much/any emotional ( social/political ) involvement/entanglement with him: he's dug his own Eternity's grave, & G-D's LivingLAW, aka Karma, CAN process/deal-with his continuum/soul..
..but his distorting of our world, for narcissistic-machiavellian highjacking needs effective countering..
Limiting one's commitment to what is effective reduces burnout, right?
Someday a portion of humankind may find the spine to enforce-correctness into our economy..
The book "Screwed" by Thom Hartmann ( https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/screwed-47 ) is strongly recommended, for understanding the REAL economic-rules that evidence showed to be true, historically.
I've only read the beginning of it, but the economic disinformation which has been well-established by "economists" got cleared from my view in seeing the truth in what he was saying..
Combine that excellently-clarifying ebook with https://www.fooledbyrandomness.com/tenprinciples.pdf by Taleb ( who wrote the book "Anti-Fragile" ), & THEN one has PROPER economic competence's foundations in one's mind!
All this to say, correct-framing reduces emotional-burnout, our having economic-spine would prune-down oligarchy, effective-competence ( the book & the PDF I've linked-to ) would MASSIVELY empower our populations, all this is preventable, AND there are inevitable-consequences of doing as Musk & Bezos are doing, for their souls' future-someones, that Eternity-scale SANE people wouldn't ever want to be Eternity-scale imprisonned in.
May equinimity release all our lives from economic-oppression's grip, as that psychologist/psychoanalyst who was in a nazi concentration-camp realized: the guards had liberty, but they were not free, because they were entirely-entrained-within ideology..
He had no liberty, but he did have freedom, because he wasn't entrained-in-ideological-meaning..
( sorry I can't remember the man's name: a big name in psychology, Jewish, obviously .. dug his name up!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Frankl : )
We need to learn the same lesson ( without the concentration-camp induction, obviously ), to make our creating-our-world become more effective, is all..
That effectiveness of more-universal-framing, is what I'm pushing..
Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen.
