A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Imagine spending decades building up a supranational institution to buttress your position as global hegemon and then throwing it all away for your genocidal pet project.
The genocidal pet project is 80 years old.
And the Christian fascist mental illness has been built through decades of psychological warfare.
And It was working so well for them, they just needed to wait and take their time. Now they've decided they can't wait, and managed to attract unwanted attention.
Doesn't seem to be stopping them, unfortunately.
No but it has other consequences
They dont seem to care too much.
Do it. The US threw away its hosting
Isn't it next month? Would be a monumental effort to change safely and effectively at this point. I'm not saying it can't or shouldn't be done, but it's not very practical.
According to the article tagline it says its today
Then it's definitely not going to change.
Not with that attitude, it's not!
That’s the goal here.
The Trump admin wants to get rid of the UN, this way they can say we didn’t leave - they left us.
Trump is a symptom, not the cause.
Just move the whole organization away from the US. Out of our territory. And if possible remove our veto.
It's a wild indication of how far things have fallen apart that for so many decades, "the US isn't going to do any crazy fuckery and it's safe to host this vital transnational infrastructure there" was working fine.
Also, completely agree. IDK where the UN should be hosted going forward, but it sure as shit should not be the US.
As much damage as the American veto does (especially regarding Israel), I'm afraid of a version where Russia and China run the meetings.
Move UN somwere else, US is sponsor of Terror, can't be a home for UN. Make USA irrelevant!
Good. This was my initial reaction. “Move the meeting somewhere that Trump doesn’t have the authority to block people from attending.”
Please also get rid of the Security Council Veto.
Better yet get rid of the Security Council all together and do everything in the General Assembly. With the 2 thirds majority requirement for passing items.
UN votes are largely symbolic, they have no actual policy function in almost all cases - member states must create and ratify separate treaties for that.
Removing the veto just leads to the veto-holders even more flagrantly undermining the UN's authority.
League of Nations was bold from time to time. That didnt help. The UN, the security council and the veto rights is all about maintaining the status quo.
Yeah, i would encourage all international communities to boycott the US entirely until Pedo don is in prison and the nazi's aren't in charge any longer.
As if this would change anything . That's not the answer. The answer is to keep deviating from the usa policies. Remove all the stupid conditions for a two state solution, stop saying a future palestinian state need to be demiliterized, stop saying israel has the right to defend itself. Impose cuba style sanctions of israel. Countries should stop lying about them stopping selling weapons to israel
