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.

Yeah, let's kill all those untermensch right? Those heathens are nothing without us intelligent white people. We know what's best for them. And to achieve that, we first need to kill most of them. We will rule them, put them to work, punish any opposition. And I mean, killing thousands of innocent people, war crimes, crimes against humanity are all just collateral damage right?
Fucking nazi. Easy to say when you're sitting behind your computer in a rich country, never to have seen war. Have you ever been there? Do you even know why it's such a shitshow over there? It's because white people who thought like you drew imaginary lines, dividing people while oppressing everyone.
"They" are people too. Just like you and me. Extremism is a product of our interventions, because "we all knew what was best for them". We oppressed them. And now we're all saying "ooh those extremists are bad, why do they do this, why are they not civilized like us".
It's because of us. We created extremism. We created a right wing zionist state and stole people their land. We invade them, bomb them, put rebel groups and dictators into power as long as they do what we want, until they don't and we intervene again. We never did what was best for them. We always think about our oil, money and power. And for that, we have an entire history of committing the most gruesome acts, killing millions. It's fucking disgusting. And so are you, thinking you are better then anyone else, while everything you know is from watching TV and the internet.
There are not good and bad sides over there. Only bad sides, and millions of innocent victims.
Please, just shut up when you have nothing intelligent to say.
