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.

And yet the voters keep getting the blame for Trump getting elected.
As well they fucking should. Trump isn't going to be any better for the Palestinian people than Biden and Harris. He is, in fact, going to be far worse for them. Also, he's a traitor, a serial rapist, a misogynist, a pedophile, a grifter, and an imbecile. The American voting population either liked what they saw, or didn't care enough to vote against him. Fuck every single one of those assholes right in the face.
Sorry your fav genocider lost, bucko. You will get through this <3
Then let me ask you this: What did the democrats promised? That they're not Trump?
Most people look back at what Biden did, and saw nothing much. Some people stuck on the huricane saw they weren't getting the help they need. Meanwhile, the saw on the news some foreign countries they've never set their feet on getting all the money that could've been used for their people.
DNC is basically playing chicken with their supporter on the Palestine issue. "Yes, we're gonna let babies fly headless, but guess what, either us or that orange criminal!" Guess how that turned out. You're gonna complain about how Trump is gonna end this quicker. How is it worse exactly if they're gonna face the same fate in the end?
Meanwhile, Trump promised a strong arm approach to all the economic problem. A lot of people are desperate with their financial situation.
All that far-right policies are getting fanatical support. Meanwhile, the DNC were losing support as they tried to compromise with the right-wing ideologies.
Oh, and don't forget they would've had better chance with Sanders, but instead they went with Harris. The best she could do was play with women right.
But yeah, the voters suck!
Yeah it's definitely that and not your obvious case of Trump derangement syndrome. Why would you think saying "Fuck every single one of those assholes right in the face." To anyone who didn't vote for the same person as you would change their mind in who they vote for? Do you hate everyone who lacks the cognitive ability to draw the same conclusions as you?
Education has been dwindling for a while. It's showing.
Well, this is a bit of a good news, bad news situation for you. Good news: Americans are now about to reap the consequences of their idiotic decision. Bad news: Palestinians are going to be fucked harder than they are currently.
Yeah we all know americans are the lowest of the low, but we also all know they are very good at digging.
So what is Donny going to do worse? Complete the genocide faster?
Because Biden, Harris and the DNC have made it abundantly clear that they support the genocide and total annihilation of all Palestinians and to erase any last bit of Palestine from the Maps. They just wanted it to happen at a pace that allows to pretend not being white supremacist mass murderers to continue getting the votes of the minorities in the US.
The Dems need to be punished over this until they remove the genocidal white supremacists from their ranks.
That is the only way to create a political momentum to get a non genocidal political option in the US
Yeah, yeah, but fundamentally, what's going to be worse under Trump on that score. With Israel, Dems and GOP are Coke-Pepsi all the way down. Are Democrat bombs kinder than Trump bombs?
This is the most ignorant shit ever. Unfortunately for everyone, this question will answer itself, and you won't be feeling very smug anymore. Give it 6 months.
I'm not American, so our perspectives will always be different. From where the rest of the world is sitting, Americans have never given a tin shit about natural justice or respect for another country's autonomy. You guys have been in the coup business for over a hundred years. How many governments have been overthrown because they weren't compliant enough, not friendly enough to your corporate interests or simply standing in the way of your geopolitical ambitions? Pacific islands blown apart or outright stolen, dark money handed to murderous dictators, killer regimes installed and resources sucked away. Spare me the rationalism about one particular brand of domestic American politics being slightly less worse than the other. If your country is balls deep in the misery of what's going on in Palestine already, there won't be too many left to murder when Trump takes office in January.
Coke or Pepsi, feller.
Looks at Colombia
Coke indeed. For anyone who thought this fuckery ended with the Civil War, look up the Coca Cola Killings. Also Steven Donziger, the lawyer who won against Chevron in Ecuadorian courts and the got steamrolled personally by Chevron and American judges friendly to them.
This shit is still going on.
How American of you to assume that I am unqualified to have an opinion about the US supporting a genocide in the Middle East. Should the rest of the world just look the other way?
Nobody is arguing that Trump isn't a disaster. However, your country elected the bastard, so it's fundamentally your fucking problem. A problem you guys are also inflicting on the rest of us.
Having said that, I agree with many of the points you are making.
Oh no's. A stranger on the internet doesn't respect another stranger. How will I be able to cope?
Anyway...
Extremely poorly, apparently.
Yes, that exactly in fact. Trump said Bibi can do whatever but needs to end it soon.
Soooo.... Less suffering for those that would die anyways? And less white people patting themselves on the back for trying nothing but considering themselves good for it anyways?
I mean, they're just gonna go from genocide Joe to genocide convicted criminal Donald so not much of an upgrade there.
Genocide Joe vs ultra genocide Trump, great job voters.
