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.

When I was 10, or 13 there were literally no issues like this at all. Well, I didn't even think about girls that much at that age, let alone in overly sexual way, lol.
What the actual fuck is happening with society recently? Is everybody going insane because of social media?
Divide and conquer 1%er propaganda systems.
Well I can tell you its broken the minds of most of the old people I know, especially fakebook. Old people are seemingly unable to tell fact from fiction online, I mean all people have trouble with that to an extent but its hitting the older people especially hard. Most of them seem to think everything they are seeing from pure political propaganda to obviously fake advertising is 100% real.
We are headed for a world where half the people believe nothing and the other half believe everything which will be a disaster.
Well from what I see it affects mostly old people and younger ones (at least if you trust media, I don't have any contact with people younger than 20, except my brother which is 6, so it doesn't really count). Millennials are probably the least affected ones.
Dunno when you were 10 or 13, but I will assume it's not true. Stuff like "Boys don't cry, you're not a girl are you?" were very common in the 80s and 90s. It wasn't as bad as today, but the foundations were already in place.
It was in late 00's, and in Poland if that's relevant.
Sure, but that's not really some hardcore misogynist shit, like what is happening today.
As I said, it wasn't as bad as today, but it was there. It has just evolved because society has evolved - young men are now actively being shamed for literally just being a man. I've been working with school kids and many boys aged ~14 were close to crying when telling how they are treated, and you know shit hits the fan if a boy in puberty is close to crying lol. Hell, even I have experienced some of that. Now, I grew up online and am way too sociopathic to give a shit about anyones opinion, but young men (usually) aren't like that.
Many en in the west are constantly shit on by large parts of society (unless they literally flagellating themselves) because patriarchy and supposed benefits we all have, so - quite obviously in my opinion - they are turning to pro-men "influencers" like tate because between all his misogynistic shit, he's telling them what they want to hear. That's a major point why the dems lost in america - they kept shitting on men, which is why trump has received major support FROM young men.
And now, feel free to shit on me for stating the facts - I know many lemmy-people don't like to hear that actually, not all men are shitty people and hit and rape women daily.
I was a rotten kid growing up with distant parents and a hostile sister.
If I'd had access to porn and comics without leaving the house, I'd have become one of these people.
This is why the tech bros don't want their kids growing up looking at screens.
I'm not a bro, but my 9 year old son isn't allowed to watch YouTube unsupervised, because when I was 9 I found my way to 4chan.
That won't keep him safe...

Comics?
You never heard of web comics?
Allow me to introduce you to oglaf.com
Oh, well yeah okay I thought you were talking about comic books lol.
No thank you for the link???
Damn kids...
Get off my lawn.
Grumble
I think I just won't put a web browser on my child's computer.
Should solve so many problems before they even appear.
Yes lol
Sorry but that's absolutely not true.
Boys not being allowed to cry, being man enough, strong enough has always been a thing since before anyone who touched the Internet was born.
This isn't new at all.
You're talking toxic masculinity, he's talking about these children being inundated with propaganda via social media. Very few middle and high school students watched Fox news in the 00's whereas now it's being algorithmically jammed down their throats.
Social media is going to cause the fall of the USA and it's so fucking sad to watch. Social media needs to be scheduled as/like a drug.
Fuck the war on drugs. All drugs should be legal. Even social media apparently.
And I'm telling you there's no difference.
You think this is the first time a kid told a teacher they won't listen cause they're a woman? No way. Might be another form of it but it hasn't gone down they just can point at some people spouting this shit.
Hating women is like man's oldest past time man
Propoganda will be the fall of the USA, and as you had diagnosed, it started in the 90s.
Depends what OP meant by "problems like this". The specific problem in the headline sounds new; teachers were teachers when I was growing up.
Murica is doing typical murica things.
Isn't this story about the UK?
Derp. UK, wtf are u smoking over there? I thought we were supposed to be sane continent.
They are just as dumb as us Americans. They did Brexit before we elected Trump.
