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.

Hmmmm Modi seems really popular to Indians and the Indian diaspora.
I don’t agree with Modi but if he is getting elected he is getting elected.
If the west stopped interacting with every questionable leader of a country we’d never interact with any country; including western ones.
I have no time to read the article, but I assume this is about violent oppression of minorities:
A certain infamous German shitstain in history was elected, too...
Which German?
You know which one. Austrians were considered (and most identified) as Germans before WW2. Insisting they weren't of German ethnicity is a historical revisionism.
I didn't mentioned the ethnicity, but he wasn't German.
What was his ethnicity then?
Irrelevant, I was clearly mentioning nationality.
You wrote "Which German?", how is that "clearly mentioning nationality"?
German means both ethnicity and nationality.
In any normal conversation it refers to nationality.
The context is Hitler, so why can't you infer that German is spoken of as an ethnicity?
He was Austrian.. but a little Goodwin law.
Godwin, by the way.
The article talks about the potential for India to slide into fascism.
It is definitely something to be concerned about but the things Modi is doing (stoking attacks on Muslims) is marginally better than what the CCP are doing (forced reeducation camps).
The west is happy to turn a blind eye to China, Modi would have to do a lot worse for any reaction from the west.
right, except sometimes it's easier to impose conditions on certain countries than others. for example the US was able to get the previous Indian administration to sign a treaty ceding partial control of their arsenal to them, on threat of sanctions (if I recall correctly). as much as the US might want to do something like that with China, it wouldn't be anywhere near as easy to pull off.
this is just an example, I'm not attaching moral value to what occurred/occurs
I don’t disagree and it’s a reasonable point that we should try to influence countries when influence works.
I suppose the downside of trying this with India though is Modi pulls closer to Putin and Xi which would be a bad outcome.
I get the idea but is Saudi Arabia worse than China?
I’m no china apologist, but if you know anything about how Indians riot, thousands of people can be murdered in a very short period of time. I haven’t heard anything about death squads for Uyghurs. Just saying, if I had to choose between being violently murdered by a Hindu mob and being detained by commies, I’d take the latter.
Tyranny of the majority shouldn't be tolerated.
And Tyranny of the minority should be?
This person wants nobles.
This person made it through at least one education system without learning about the French Revolution. Learned enough to type that sentence, not enough to know how fucking dumb it is.
