World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Trump - "Israel should finish the job"
Israel - "Well, if you insist!"
Wonder what would be happening if we had President Harris right now. I mean, this attack would probably still be happening but at least under her protesting would be legal.
"Don't do it"
sends bombs
Israel does it.
"I can't believe you've done this!"
sends more bombs
Gaza would still be getting bombed, just with a hint of virtue-signalling
If you look at how they cracked down on protests under Biden I wouldn’t be so sure about that protest part and that’s the actual tragedy.
Harris or Trump it doesn’t really matter. The difference is that Trump is mask off fuck diplomacy about it while the dems push the brakes a bit to try and keep up the "America good“ narrative that no one believes anymore anyways. As for the groups that were lucky enough to benefit from democrat cronyism, I genuinely feel sorry for them.
The American people got fucked over badly in this election, their political system failed them.
lol, yes that is exactly right. Everything between Harris and Trump is exactly the same except Trump's diplomacy. You really have your finger on the pulse of world events.
For most of the world, there is no appreciable difference.
Yeah that’s exactly why I added that paragraph. I genuinely feel sorry for the LBTQ community, the next years are gonna be really bad for them and the dems protected them. The dems were also sligthly better than Trump on migration, but Biden didn’t revert a lot of Trumps policies even though he could have.
And when we see ICE agents doing Soviet style arrests and when we hear stories of people in immigration detention being abused, do people really think all of this just magically popped up over night when Trump got in power?
And as for the Middle East, if you post a Trump Gaza video or strongly condemn the killing of civilians, for the people being bombed to shreds by American bombs that literally makes 0 difference. Biden could have stopped sending weapons, he could have voted for ceasefire resolutions, he could have literally bombed Netanyahu if he had wanted to, but he didn’t. He was happy to let the genocide unfold that Trump is now happy to continue.
But were the dems protecting e.g. the LBTQ community because they care about human rights? Fuck no. And most people on the planet are unfortunately not receiving any of the democrat cronyism so for them it honestly doesn’t matter much.
Okay, and? If that's your pitch for "protest voters screwed over Gaza" it definitely ain't convincing.
We're past the point where that matters, but to be completely honest if you need more than "this one was at least willing to pretend to listen and this other guy will just deport you" I'm not skilled enough in debating to get you there. All I can do is comment on where we are.
And sadly this is just the restarting of the war. In the coming weeks and months I'm afraid that we're going to see even more stark differences between what Trump does and what Harris would've done instead.
Harris never pretended to listen. In fact she was very explicit about not listening. Also to be clear, I'm not saying there's no difference between being able to protest and not being able to protest the genocide. However, that difference only matters for people in America; for people in Palestine it doesn't fucking matter because nothing was going to come out of these protests anyway.
Exactly. She would be like: Terrorist state of Isreal has right to defend itself then giving more money to Isreal.
She wouldn't condemn shit. They would have "concerns" and be "looking into it" like they were doing under Biden for 15 months.
Fixed it.
