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.

well, theres a reason Roma are not liked in my country.
guess what , its their behaviour, its pure evil.
Right. Ten hour old account come to spew weird racism and bigotry.
I used to do homework help, a good chunk of the kids were Romani. They were just regular kids, and the parents were just regular parents. Hell, they cared more than my own mother did.
You can fuck off, you racist weirdo.
Racist bitch. You realize this is literal racism, right?
and you are a filthy gypsy lover. why dont you adopt one you maggot
You are scum.
and you are a dumbass, insulting without any arguments. it says a lot about your IQ
Follow your leader.
Evil is not hereditary. There is no ethnic group of people who are evil.
It's the so called travellers that are evil. Pretty much all travellers in some places are roma, but it seems increasingly few roma are travellers because I haven't really heard much of them recently in my country.
Generally, travellers raise their children to be thieves at a young age. Once they break out of that isolated crime community cycle, they're just people and blend into society.
Unfortunately in a lot of people's eyes, roma people are still a travellers. Seems in my country they've mostly gotten jobs instead of stealing and telling fortunes though, so nobody really cares about them anymore.
This is just wrong.
Poor and marginalized people commit acts of desperation. Acts like raising their children to be thieves at a young age. Once they stop being poor and marginalized, they're just people and blend into society.
Unfortunately Roma are poor and marginalized.
It is more complicated than that, and it changes country by country. There are cultural/traditional issues that contribute to perpetrating the vicious circle of poverty. One such factor is preventing kids from attending schools. This makes some people unable to speak local language and functionally unemployable, paving the road to poverty and marginalization.
That said, at least in my country this issue affects a tiny minority of the Roma population. An even smaller minority is apolid, mostly coming from ex-Yugoslavia, which obviously causes several problems with the ability to work.
The main aspect though is that "solutions" proposed by many governments, like building "camps" when they can settle, are just ineffective from all points of view, prevent integration and foster the tendency to a conservative and closed culture.
agreed, but its too late now. i dont want them nor their crimes nor their incest, violence, pollution etc...
Insane how people just feel comfortable posting here about human beings the same way the Nazis spoke of "Untermensch"
Like this is hideous and disgustingly open racism.
A reminder that across europe every country at some point were israel today - not even that long ago
only someone who hasnt experienced them first hand can defend them.
I'm certain plenty of them are much better people than you are. You're a terrible person. Your country would be better off if you left
https://www.romaniaexperience.com/why-are-romanians-frowned-upon-in-europe/
educate yourself, they arent frowned upon without a reason.
they are literally parasites in other countries. you know their origin is India? who would have tought India is the asshole of the world, the people make the nation.
do you also love and defend Israeli too?
its obvious you dont have any exerience and i bet you dont leave your house much
bruh if you don't even know the difference between Roma and Romania maybe don't litter the post with your comments
You'd fit in in Israel. You sound like you'd love to be in the IDF. Back in time you'd love to support the British and take the food of Indians as they go through famine because it sounds like today you're happy to cast judgment over 1.4 billion people. You'd fit in with the party in 1941 Germany as well. You'd be happily on the side of genocide across the Americas. You're trash. You're anti-Israel from a distance but share their ideology. You're pure trash
what are you on about? you are nuts and this is proof.
you are overly sensitive and too dumb.
get a life and start going out of your house.
You pointed out Roma people have roots back to India like that's some sort of huge gotcha that people understand means terrible people. You're in a racist bubble. Get out of it. In my country people from India have incredibly low crime rates and are usually highly educated. You need to make some friends outside of racist people. You seem to think what you believe in doesn't make you a bad person. I'm concerned for your country if you represent the average person
you are assuming hell of a lot and thats not good for you. now let me tell you my opinion on you, since you did the same.
you getting rattled and insulting tells me a lot about you.
youre a little rat thinking you know everything and you think you are so smart, but in fact are a sensitive snowflake, hiding behind your little keyboard with very little outdoor experience.
It's fine that you think that way of me. I am surprised though that you haven't removed that link about romanians to justify your racism for roma people. It makes you look very stupid. You'd travel to Georgia the country and google sights to see in Georgia, USA
and what else does your crystal ball tell you? you obviously never dealt with the problem. its easy to act fine on the keyboard. i bet im a better person then you.
you should try touching grass
