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.

Peter Thiel said that democracy isn't compatible with capitalism and we need to get rid of democracy in order to protect capitalism.
~~Punchable face.~~
No, no, punchable is too nice. Something stronger.
Something more like what Luigi does.
And by that, I mean Mario's brother who can jump on turtles and mushrooms of course.
Like what the Kool-Aid man does to walls? We need a stronger fruit punch is all.
Not the other way around, LOL. Like capitalism is more valuable than democracy. Of course, that’s the opinion of a capitalist, of course he’d think that
He has it backwards. Democracy is used to keep people placid in Capitalism because they feel in control and think that they live the best possible life.
He must mean free market economy and he must believe that progress comes from free market competition and he sees that threatened.
Is he that naive that he believes that Palantir and such will be used to bring back free markets?
He thinks competition is for losers. You have to create monopoly if you are a serious capitalist. source
democracy is no longer enough to keep the masses silent, so we need a dictator so that the capitalists can keep on capitaling
Some stage 3 cancer patient should go out with a bang. Just sayin. Some people have no time left. Do something good with that short bit of time.
He is anti-humanity in all regards, he is one of the most openly psychopathic elites to have control over some fraction of the world.
But yeah Q-anon and conspiracy theorists, keep rummaging in pizza places and cement factory basements looking for the shadowy cabal who are hurting people. I'm sure you'll find the real bad guys aaaannnny day now.
