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 reflects on the increasing-polarization of ALL HUMANKIND.
Read Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking Fast & Slow", & recognize that Kahneman System-2, considered-reasoning, is being blotted-out by Kahneman System-1, animal reaction, and that this is exactly how #ClimatePunctuation, which is still accelerating, combines with regional-crop-failures, megadroughts, megaflooding, region-scouring wildfire, political-tantrum, religious-tantrum, corruption, etc, to blot out survival-viability, when a world-species crosses the threshold of the multiple-industrial-revolutions.
This is The Great Filter, setting-up.
Rampagins reaction, enforcing its lashing-out with all weapons available, is exactly what is becoming normaller & normaller, in all regions, in all political-stripes, in all religions.
There will be no considered-reasoning ruling this world before the end of this century, unless a significant portion of this planet's population grow TF up, with all we got, quick.
Moneyarchy is pushing to eradictate Kahneman System-2, because considered-reasoning competes against moneyarchy's preference for humankind to be managed steers, being consumed by the money-machine, without interference.
Legalism's been pushing against considered-reasoning since before the Christian New Testament.
Etc.
See it for what it is: our unconsciousmind is trying to beat, and BREAK considered-reasoning from interfering with it, and "politics" is just makup hiding the underlying-appearance.
So is "religion".
So is "culture".
Notice that Kahneman tells us, outright, System-1 operates in the addiction/prejudice mode of WYSIATI, or What You See Is All There Is.
NO considering context is TOLERATED by System-1.
And that is how The Great Filter silences worlds which reach the cascades-of-technology-development that we're in.
Ignorance uses the weapons to beat/break whole-world-life, in order to PROVE that unconscious-ignorance was the exclusive "lord", and it NEVER had to learn,
and the people weren't up to breaking that unconscious-ignorance.
Same as an addict/junkie whose unconsciousmind, their System-1, would rather break their entire life, than tolerate growing-up/breaking-addiction... and they die.
Worlds do it.
We're in the century that will see .. nearly-nobody survive, if any do.
IF you see it in Hindus, THEN I guarantee you it can also be seen in every other religous-group in this planet, this century, this decade.
There is nothing unique about it happening "here" or "there".
Unconscious-ignorance-addiction, and its prejudice against considered-reasoning/System-1, is taking-over.
And our world is going along with it.
And that is species-fatal.
