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.

Just a small reminder that italians voted Mussolini's niece to the government.
So they also swing both ways.
They voted him, but after that he started a golpe... That it could be even worse, but he didn't initially took power just because of people will.
He mostly was loved by the richer class as a good way to stop communists and popular (leftie Christians)
I think you've misread the comment. Italians voted for his niece to the current government,
Italians rule. First Luigi, now these guys
Oligarchs are not bulletproof.
Is the Italian Prime Minister #Meloni not a "friend" of Elon musk?
The Italian left is awesome. The Italian right belongs upside down at a gas station
The fuck are you talking about?? Our left party (PD - partito democratico) Is one of the whiniest and most useless party in the world, unable to pick up the class fight in favour of the working class and hellbent in carrying out the sistemic destruction of any real opposition to the current ruling class. Look into its management, Ellie Schlein, its current head, is the most vapid and personality-deprived politicians we've seen in the past 20 years, and I'm including Fassino in this list which should say a lot if you know Italian politics
If Elon was just doing a Roman salute, then Luigi was just doing an Italian goodbye, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"Hi Jack, bye Jack."
He was a brave Italian avenger and in this Lemmy instance, Luigi Mangione is a hero. End of story!
Nazis must be hung!
Hanged you mean
Unless you’re talking about their penises
"No violence is justifiable" - People who protect Nazis
[Redacted] Nazis ain't violence. It's just taking out the trash.
I know you're joking but I don't like this take, even as a joke. They're people, and hurting them is violence. It just also happens to be the right course of action.
Honestly, punching a nazi is the most loving thing you can do for them in the moment that they're being nazis, because it shatters their delusion of superiority, and that gives them a chance to change, and a life of hate is not a good life. It's miserable.
You ever see this gif?
Honestly an improvement in that guy's life. Witnesses said he took off his armband after he woke up. Did he lose his fascist ideas, or just learn they were extremely unpopular and got a violent reaction? Whatever it was, he learned that going around dressed as a nazi was a bad idea, and that's progress however you slice it.
So rather than "nazis aren't people" I prefer "punching a nazi is an act of love".
Wow, that punch was very satisfactory. I agree that we should be punching Nazis and neo Nazis
I love everything about it. The "excuse me, sir, please be reasonable" gesture, the absolute unit of a punch, the way he drops like a sandbag, the clap, and the fact that no witnesses saw anything happen.
WARNING NSFW: The Ultimate Fate of Mussolini
They should make a big poster of this... As reminder!
That's a good look for fascists.
The article says...
...where the Tesla and SpaceX CEO made two stiff-armed salutes that many interpreted as a fascist gesture.
Can't say I care for that characterization. Half the world is trying to gaslight me about this but my fucking eyes work.
The local TV here in Portugal also did the whole saying "that some consider a Nazi salute" thing in their news segment about this ...
... and then showed Elon's salute and a bunch of Nazis doing Nazi salutes as examples, leaving nobody in the audience but the blind in any doubt that Elon's salute was the same as the salutes that the Nazis did.
Journalists are way too quick to 'both sides" stuff. (Not sure how much of an American problem it is.) I don't think I've seen a single article that didn't include the quote from those asinine Nazi sympathizers at the ADL.
THIS, I like. Sure, maybe you have to report that he claims it isn't. But bring receipts.
The problem is they never want to be wrong and unless Elon comes out and says it was a Nazi salute publically the media dances around it. The right knows this and plays the game pretty well.
Sure. I understand if they feel they need to include that he claims it isn't. (He hasn't claimed it isn't.) But the thing to do is to give your viewership context.
