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.

When the single issue is a genocide that the USA is fully complicit with it is well worth it .
Not when there were two options on the election. One of two people were going to win and a performative vote for neither was as good as a vote for Trump. I agree that Biden was not a good person and his complacency in genocide is atrocious, but he would have been better now than Trump is.
There was two options because the majority of Americans decided so for being fine with a two party system for decade if not more than a century . You can't blame third party voters which even if they all voted for Harris she would still lost for wanting change
For Americans yes, for Gaza not all all. Trump being vocal about ethnic cleansing plan make you think he is a lot worse but the USA was never going to oppose Israel. Facts on the group is that the USA been giving billions dollars to Israel and unlimited diplomatic support no matter who is in charge. Democrats can't keep saying over and over about how Biden was trying to hard to stop the war , it won't make it true when no real pressure was done with actions supporting it.
We already forgot about Bush war crimes and don't want it to happen again. Don't think I will forget that trump continued support the genocide when he is out either.
There were two options because the US has a FPtP voting system that always devolves to a two party system. The American voters didn't decide to go two part as a whole, it was predetermined.
I can absolutely blame third party and non voters. Everyone of them was complacent with a Trump victory, because unless they're completely ignorant, that was the known outcome. Doesn't matter how you want to paint it, that's the reality.
Keep lying yourself, keep complain, keep blaming third party voters and let the United Snake self destruct itself.
The reality is that third party voters has zero real effect on the ground about Harris losing . No amount of blaming will change that.
If you don't want to remind people about Biden complicity it's your choice but don;t tell other what to say
Maybe you've not read anything else I've posted. Biden is a POS and his complacency is disgusting. Trump is worse. If every 3rd party voter voted Harris, she would have won the popular vote and district depending, maybe the electoral as well. Everyone of them is also to blame. Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night, go ahead, but third party and non voters were complacent with a trump presidency. If they weren't, they'd have voted for Harris. Doesn't matter what hoops you jump through to justify, reality is reality, unless your into "alternate facts" like more typical Trump supporters.
I been talking with multiple users on the post. I may get confused in certain points , forget some etc.
Lol it is you who do alternate facts. If every 3rd party voters voted harris she would still lost popular vote.
Just like cult follower you can't see facts
What's 75,000,000 + 2,800,000? Is it more than 77,300,000?
Math is hard for some people, and to those of you that struggle with it (the answer is yes, 77.8 million is more than 77.3 million) it may seem like alternative facts, but really, it's elementary level research and math.

This feels like talking to anti-abortionist.
'When the issue is killing babies there's nothing to talk about.'
Don't compare abortion to genocide
I'm making a point about single issue voters.
Genocide aka mass murdering a whole population or losing certain rights which is worst?
Probably not being able to understand the point.
Abolitionist, more like.
Maybe the temperance movement.
