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.

"Settlers"
Lebensraum enjoyers
Wasn't aware of this expression before, thank you for the new burn. "Casual enjoyer of other people's territory, as though it had simply been their own backyard the whole time, left waiting for their return."
It's not a "burn" - it was the casus belli given for Nazi territorial expansion.
"WE NEED YOUR SHIT AND WE GON TAKE IT FROM YOU! FUCK YOU!"
Is not only the nazi MO, but American foreign policy for a hundred years. Fucking terrorist state. FUCK THE USA. Fucking demons, a scourge upon civilization, a fucking cancer, a festering boil, a tick, a fucking virus.
I am GLAD the Taliban killed a bunch of them on 9/11, I totally get it, I'm with them, at least they did something instead of just writing stern letters. Respect to the Taliban, I can 💯 percent feel where they're coming from. And they were goat herders. Civilized nations have no excuse to let this fucking circus go on. Except, of course, $$$.
Anyone giving an inch to the US should be shot.
Its use as an insult to mock those to whom it applies, is what makes it a burn. I'm already well aware of what it is, but had never seen or heard anyone apply a specific name to it. It's mine now, and I'm going to use it to insult land thieves wherever and whomever they are.
Ugh. I'd rather you be arguing against my side that for it then.
Alright then, carry on.
What a burn - looks like you win the conversation. 🤣
