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.

It is a lot simper than you are trying to make it out to be. People hold a country of people who are victim of the previous genocide and is now standing up to a new one to an impossibly high standard, while the country genociding all over the world is never held to the same standard.
The only reason it is not black and white because it is brown and white.
So… you’re just cool with the whole gender apartheid thing? Islam and Christianity need to go with both - the world would be a lot better off
It should go without saying, obviously genocide is awful and I don’t support that.
Edit: and not partaking in gender apartheid doesn’t sound like too crazy of a standard to hold a society to with its own people…
Watch out the pinkwashining brigade has arrived.
Tad hard to take le epic atheism seriously when secularism is at its umpteenth genocide since its prominence on the world stage.
The Houthis are risking their lives to stop a genocide and somehow you believe people will take you seriously if you tell them that they are not good enough to do so?
Said by the person that seems to look up to Iran and their buddies lol dude you whack
I just find it laughable to call them the “leaders of the free world” when half of their own population isn’t even free lmao
You are supporting governments perpetrating a genocide over governments standing up against genocide. You might one day notice your words about freedom ring a tad hollow when you support the worlds largest concentration camp. "lmao".
… who said I support them? I certainly didn’t. I just think Iran/Russia and their proxies are shit as well.
By all means if people rise up in the US against our corrupt government, I’ll be one of the first to grab my gun and be out on the streets.
Sure Iran and Yemen have plenty of faults. But they are the people grabbing the gun and rising up against the US backed genocide. By all means you or any other party is extremely welcome to showcase their moral superiority by outdoing Iran or Yemen in this.
Problem here is that conservatives are the armed ones and they’re the ones running the show with the govt. Anything that isn’t planned on a massive scale would be for naught and end up with us dead or in prison for life.
