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.

Voting a fucking fascist in fucking power is not the fucking answer.
He will give you a 1 month high. You will feel like you're taking your country "back" and "making it great again". For 1 month. Maybe 2. Then it will not get better because fucking fascists don't have fucking answers or fucking solutions. All they have is blaming.
So when shit doesn't get better, what this fucking fascist will do is find some vulnerable minority or some people who do a serious non-dumb job and blame them. The gays. The indigenous. The judges. The leftist students. The scientists. The people who like to eat their salad with the wrong color tomatoes. Some made up shit.
And he will convince you that it's those people's fault that his bullshit anarcho-capitalist non-policies don't work. So he will need you to support him to hurt those people more and more and more so he can anarcho-capitalism harder. Promising that if you hurt the right people enough then it will be all right.
But it won't because there is no fucking magic and fucking fascists don't have fucking answers to any fucking problem.
Don't be a stooge for fascists.
Good luck.
This is what the current guys are doing bro, have you lived here?
You are spot on, we should not vote fascists into Power because they will not fix the problems, they will blame others for their incompetence and they will get in our ears we should support them more for enabling them to actually fix those problems and they will persecute the opposition calling them the problem.
For sure you dont know but you are describing the current government, the previous and all of it's candidates in this elections
While Milei has yet to even have that power, he's done nothing more than what he promised and what he was voted for in congress, in the span of 2 Years hes started his Political Career
And for sure he wont fix them either, this shit is deep and wont go away in just 4 Years, but if he doesnt fucking start the change he proposes, and we need, we will vote someone else, if anyone even exists thats not the same politics again
