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.

Brazil and Columbia, literally in this article: Do another election with more oversight
Lemming Expert: NOOO WAR IS THE ONLY WAY TO FORCE MADURO OUT >:(
Another election happens. More oversight. Maduro still says "No, we won". You still say "W-what do you want to do about it??? WAR??? Wouldn't it be so much better if Venezuelans just rolled over and let the fascists stomp all over them? 🥺"
Like, did you forget that there was oversight for this election too? But anything to lick fascist boots, I guess.
"Use the international pressure to force them to accept stronger oversight and more secure measures"
"Reeeeee what good will that do I want BLOOD and a FOREIGN REGIME CHANGE"
Again, what does that matter? There was oversight this time. It didn't matter, because the government just said "No, we won." No matter how badly they lose, ultimately, without enforcement mechanisms, from the Venezuelan people or from external support, there is no way to enforce the results of an election. But you know that, of course. You only advocate for people to "Vote harder" when you know it'll do nothing.
My favorite part is where you said it's none of any outside country's business, and now you're arguing the complete opposite; that there should be international pressure to force the issue in Venezuela. 10/10 consistency. Anything to bootlick for fascism, I guess.
Like, you fucking started this conversation saying that Maduro wouldn't give up power even if there was a second election, which pretty nakedly gives up the game when you're arguing that there should be a second election and that violence is unacceptable for the opposition to use.
Ah, yes, much different than "Blood and no regime change", but I guess protesters getting gunned down in the streets and shipped off to labor camps is just wholesome left praxis to you, huh? The proles have to turn the other cheek, but the fascist regime gets to kill whoever it wants to.
?
Israel kills more people every day than Maduro's regime has since the election. I don't see you arguing for an invasion of Israel...
I wonder what the difference is to you. Since you're such a strong anti-fascist, you'd think you'd be more concerned about an active genocide than an internal struggle where, apparently, nothing but boots on the ground will suffice.
I have openly said previously that I would be in favor of literal war with Israel. So, you know, maybe it's just you that simps for fascist regimes because they're led by 'the right people'.
lmao, keep making up strawmen to attack.
