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.

Hands up if you also knew
But him knowing that and continuing to fight until his last breath is fucking amazing.
I'm pretty sure I couldn't do the same.
Yep - I don’t mean to undermine his struggle. Sorry.
i know i couldn't do the same and i struggle to understand why it's amazing or why he did it.
did this guy have sort of trump like distortion field that made him believe he was the chosen one or did he do something to earn his fame? what was he hoping to accomplish by going back? was he expecting to pull off a napoleon and that people would join his side on his return?
i don't expect a constructive response from you based on your post history in this thread; but maybe someone else can edify me since google makes him look much worse than the american media.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Navalny did something whether you approve of it or not.
But what did he do besides let himself be executed pointlessy?
His sacrifice of his life means that his ideology and fight will live on in others who follow his footsteps.
How do you think Jesus became so well known?
Jesus was forced down everyone's throat regardless of what you believe; so I fail to see the comparison.
There has to have been a better way; Russia is already too lousy w needless & pointless deaths.
2000 years ago he died for our sins on a cross. Why didn't his story die with him? Because his death made him a martyr, and martyrs live forever.
The same will happen with Navalny and his ideology.
Except Jesus wasn't real. Navalny was.
The story still stands. If it didn't you wouldn't even recognize Jesus' name.
they're right, jesus was a apocryphal story forced down everyone's throat and your defense paints navalny as a self-important martyr figure and google paints him as a xenophobic homophobe w a martr complex; whatever chance you had to edify the uninformed was lost in this bizarre jesus-christo-stupidity thing you decided to wrap into navalny's behavior.
Oh.... Oh no. Honey...
lived as a hero. sacrificed himself for a greater cause. stood on the right side of history. set an example.
even when things are hopeless, one can still choose for the light.
He was probably making a bet and hoping to come out on top somehow, tried pulling a Nelson Mandela. Saying this will also get me downvoted to oblivion but he was another right wing asshole, western media just made him a hero because he was against Putin.
that's too simple of an explanation for me and life is usually not that simple. that's why i engaged with the clearly outward supporter; but it turns out they can't past jesus and have no more knowledge about the situation than i do.
I mean it makes sense if you look into the history of people like Gaddafi or Bin Laden, politicians need these simplifications to fabricate a narrative in which there are good and bad people.
