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.

MODERATORS
"The children were Hamas children."
What the fuck am I reading.
So for all the people saying they voted the "lesser evil". Your lesser evil is justifying the slaughter of children based on who their parents supposedly are or were.
Also hist claims that the casualties would then show to be lower and much less civilians is ridiculous in the face of even the IDFs internal database showing that they murdered 83% Civilians.
Jacob Lew is just saying here that he has been feeding blindly on Israel propaganda and then regurgitating it through his administration to the general public.
The bigger evil is still worse, hurting MORE people.
Leftist purity culture is why there isn’t a bigger leftist movement. The propaganda told you to shoot yourself in the foot and most have never stopped pulling the trigger.
- a practical leftist that ignores propaganda
The "practical leftists" were fighting the people who wanted the supposedly better party to not be this cruel and abominable evil. The division was caused by the "practical leftists" who willfully employed themselves to spread the propaganda, that genocide should be acceptable as a "lesser" evil. The "practical leftists" were integral to the strategy of the oligarchy, that is financing and dictating bot mayor US political parties what to do, in waging their war against the people in the US and people abroad.
The only strategy not to loose, is not to play that game. We see some initiatives into that direction with people like Mamdani and we see that the "lesser" evil and the "bigger" evil are largely working together to fight against anything that could not be evil.
Jordan Lund once wrote that Biden just HAD to send those bombs to defend america against Iran.
Personally I think if you spread genocidal propaganda you're as bad as pulling the trigger
We are ruled by monsters.
