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.
-
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.

And our elected leaders stand by politely ignoring the obvious humanitarian issues and overt war crimes.
I think what annoys me most is the American news sources who trumpet Biden's speeches saying that he's told Netanyahu to stop the killing, yet fail to report America stonewalling a UN vote for a cease fire ... and forcing the UN to water down what they do ask for.
I hate hypocrisy and America is full of it (like many nations are).
sigh
Yep. I noticed Biden is trying to have both: pretends to support a 2 state solution that will never happen, while simultaneously giving weapons in aid to Israel. And on top of that he expects people to vote for him because he's not Trump.
You can't have it all, Joe
Exactly, like what the fuck?
Well, the US does have an ardent pro-Israel Zionazi as the president this time around.
Genocide is fine so long as it destabilizes the middle east, gets oil corporations better deals thanks to that, and profits military corporations.
it's totally fair to criticize Biden as long as we can agree that the alternative is much worse.
the alternative: genocide plus fascism.
Yeah isn't it nice how simple the world is? Black or white. No nuance. Nuance sure would be shitty.
The world isn’t nice, because it’s so simple. Money.
It has me truly dissuaded of the notion that the so called developed world has any sort of moral authority. We have to learn from this.
You must be new here...

And? I can not do shocked pickachu when they have done it for 234 years. At least this time we're not the ones doing the war crimes.
