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.
-
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.

It's a pretty good sign that the Mexican Feds are competent and in charge. If this were a Trump-run op then it would be a shitshow, I'm sure.
What? It's a sign that the cartels chose not to kill innocent people.
The Mexican government is a shit show, and because of their decision bringing the military into domestic affairs it's a matter of time before they live under a de facto military dictatorship.
If our administration in the US gets what it wants in bringing the military into domestic affairs here, we will suffer the same fate as the army sees the levers of power, and the weakness of civilian leadership, and subordinates or outright takes power. As sure as the sun rising.
In previous administrations the Cartel had political power and involve the military as they saw fit. If the choice is between two authoritarian groups then I'll choose the nice lady who locks up coke fiends.
Whatdya mean? Amlo was the same party, Sheinbaum is an extension of him basically, and they've long terms I think, 6 years or whatever.
Calderon is rumored to have been put into office with the help of the cia cheating at their elections, idk if that is true but it was widely thought to be true at the time. He started the war against the cartels for the US that wanted it.
Idk about Fox, Vincente Fox, I think he was after, idk if I'm missing one. But he was more right wing. He would've been with the US on whatever they wanted more even if looking the other way on some corruption that is endemic.
But amlo was the one that brought the military in I think, or at least very much increased their involvement in policing.
So idk which two groups you refer to, and locking up coke fiends is not helpful at all, locking up violent cartels that kill people is. Coke users are just going to happen, ruining their lives for using drugs solves nothing. And I believe in personal freedom and don't think it should even be illegal as such perhaps.
Kidnapping 30 people and then beheading them and affixing their heads on cactus bordering the highway however, that is the sort of thing that needs to be stopped.
