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.

Now, he is organising a Gaza Tribunal of his own. "We have on 4 and 5 of September, for two days in Church House in Westminster, an open public inquiry," Corbyn says.

"It will be live on YouTube and lots of other platforms and channels, and that inquiry will be hearing voices from people in Gaza, in the West Bank, aid workers, journalists, lawyers, international legal experts."

[Note to our Fedi friends in the UK - it would be great if someone could get this tribunal streamed via Peertube in some fashion.]

The new party was announced on 3 July, when MP Zarah Sultana left the Labour Party and said she would co-lead a different outfit with Corbyn.

That party doesn't exist yet. It doesn't even have a name. But it has already received more than 800,000 sign-ups.

Polling this week found that a third of 2024 Labour voters would consider voting for a Corbyn-Sultana-led party, as well as over a quarter of Labour members.

Here’s a hint: You will never come up with a source for your beliefs because you’d have to admit you’ve been played first.

It’s human to fall for it now and then. You’re amongst the majority.

I hope you get help

Nah, you talk big but you can't even state Corbyn's idiotic position on the full scale invasion of Ukraine without looking it up first (if you actually knew, you would have brought it up because it makes a very specific reference for someone in the UK, it's been parroted by other fake leftists too).

I don't need to do a web search, because I know Corbyn's position:

He has worked with RT, a Russian propaganda service aimed at the west managed by russian intel services.
He routinely promotes russian propaganda narratives about NATO
His fake peacenik organization (he is the executive director who is responsible for such press releases) recognized russia as part of Ukraine.
He openly opposed weapons deliveries to Ukraine after the full scale in order to give russia an edge in the invasion.

I don't even need to do a web search for this, because this relatively common knowledge in Ukraine (among people who know who Corbyn is).

But sure, Mr. Arcane2077, who doesn't even speak Ukrainian or russian claims to be more knowledgeable than someone who lives in Ukraine and where collaboration with russians by scum such a Corbyn is widely reported.

Own your ignorance my man, don't keep digging into the hole of stupidity that characterizes your knowledge of the relevant issues.

You keep pretending I’m speaking with authority when asking for a source for your outlandish claims. Says more about you than me lmao

So he did nothing he’s being accused of. Did you even read the contents of the links in the comment you sent me? God you people are so tiring

[–] jabjoe@feddit.uk 1 points 17 hours ago

I skimmed them as I knew most of it already. I've seen him say stuff about Russia that disgusts me before.

Good follow up post : https://feddit.uk/post/35181984/19652057

If Corybn wants support from people like me, he needs to come out loudly condemning Putin's actions and support Ukraine. Being anti-war is a massively stupid position against someone like Putin.
