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.

His admin got a lot of good shit done and I think history will show it as one of the best presidencies in the past 30+ years, but Biden was and is a PoS for being complacent with genocide. I voted for the same complacent Harris and would have done the same for Biden because Trump was and is worse, but Trump being king of the shit pile doesn't absolve Biden's shittiness.
Voters and non voters are 100% to blame for Trump being POTUS, but that and Biden's admins accomplishments have no bearing on the quality of person that Biden is and was.
Biden continued the same policies every president had before him on Israel.
Genocide has become the left’s thought and conversation ending cliché.
Every president prior to Biden wasn't facing a full genocide in Palestine. I'm not saying it was sunshine and rainbows before, but it was full invasion genocide during Biden's tenure. The situation was very different, way worse, and while things should have been different for every president before Biden, he should have been better. He wasn't, and that's why he's a POS.
Also, the actions of other presidents has no bearing on Biden as a person. They were all independently also trash for many of their policies. They aren't mutually exclusive.
Why are you so hard on downplaying genocide? It should be a main topic in every conversation about US politics, because it's heinous. Like I've said, I voted for the lesser of two evils in the last two elections, I would have voted for Biden if it were him, but it doesn't excuse his actions.
This is the updated version of ‘are you still beating your wife?’
This is the exact same as the anti-abortion activists screeching about the wholesale murder of babies.
I wish the world was as black and white as you desperately want it to be but if you scratch the surface you realize that it’s very complicated and nuanced and messy.
This isn't a single issue voter thing. This is condemning genocide and the people that enable it. It's not at all like anti abortion, because an abortion isn't murder while slaughtering living humans is. People that didn't vote for Biden on the grounds of Palestine are idiots, and I know they exist, but that's not what we're debating. We're debating the character of Joe Biden, genocide enabler.
If you don't think the genocide is a black and white issue, you're a fucking psycho. If you think that the genocide in Palestine is justified, you maybe had an argument for the first couple of days following the Hamas attack, but the moment it publicly went from trying to get back hostages to carpet bombing hospitals, shooting children, and blocking side to create a famine, you have nothing. That is black and white.
It’s thinking like that that makes wedge issues so effective.
I don’t think the genocide is justified but I think Biden was handling it much better then Trump currently is.
I agree with you, Biden did handle it better, albeit marginally, but what he did (or didn't) do, still makes him a shit person, just less shitty than the alternative. That's why I voted for Harris and would have voted for him.
