A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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's getting pretty hopeless to see all these political figures so often put in front of a judge, but it seldom has an impact on their career. Never imprisoned, fines are hardly a problem considering how rich (or friend of rich people) most of them are, or they have someone to take the fall.
These days, it's even an advantage to be prosecuted or condemned, making them appear as victims.
Let's hope this is an exception and that Nazi fuck goes to prison.
Not to be pessimistic but when you did you last see: 1 - nazi where they belong 2 - French justices tackling the real issue
Hey, at least one Nazi did go to prison.
...of course, things went real bad for France not long after that.
Like I said, let's hope this is an exception.
France regularly tries and convicts corrupt officials. If this is new to you, it just means you’re not paying attention.
Yep. Just look at Sarkozy.
In 2023, Sarkozy's attempt to appeal the decision was denied and he has been banned from holding public office for three years and but will still have the option of serving his sentence from home with an electronic bracelet.[182]
A slap on the wrist ten years after you've retired isn't going to persuade anyone not to do crime for a bunch of money and power.
Those goalposts heavy?
Lol, not everything is a logical fallacy...
If I had made the original assertion and then moved my position on the matter... That's moving the goal post.
When someone disagrees with the underlying premise of your assertion, it's just a rebuttal.
They went as far as producing fake documents to cover up their embezzlement, and got busted...
ONE letter away from Nostril....
good
Is this the same lady who was outlasted by a cabbage or do all these cretins have the same bone structure?
No, that was Liz Truss, the British prime minister and it was a lettuce.
