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.

China's MO is to antagonize. They keep pushing knowing that sooner or later some individual they're antagonizing is going to fuck up and cross the line, and they'll be able to go all in on a "response" while blaming the other side for starting it.
It's insane to me that entire fucking countries governments act no different than literal children.
This is stereotypical school yard bully tactics. It's so fucking stupid. People point to specific sad stories as reasons they lost faith in humanity... I point to every country on the planet acting like children any time they have a slight disagreement, or decide they want something someone else has.
K was right. A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals.
Sometimes I feel like we should go back for the guillotines and keep going until we get sane leaders that actually want what's best for the citizens.
I suspect Trump will be using hangings or guillotines to remove some of the people he can't stand, in the next-decade of his dictatorship..
I've no idea if he'll have the balls to be so blatent right up-front,
but by the beginning of the 2030's, KKK-style murder-worship'll be happening, at-least, if not "burning at the stake" & outright human-sacrifice-worship for Trump.
People are ignoring the progression of personality-transformation he's going through..
Absolute-psychopathy's going to be ruling him, in less than a year, I bet..
then, as that progresses.. then it gets worse..
My point is simply that both sides, ideological-prejudice & ruthless-uprightness can use guillotines to clean-up government, but "clean up" has opposite meanings, for opposite sides, you know?

I mean what is the line there, I would say soon as they hit the "national" line instead of the identification line Id blow them out of the sky and broadcast the location of their downed jets proving their infraction. China doesn't want war, it'll crush their economy with everyone else's. Choosing to go to war would likely only end in their people overthrowing their government whether they could hide the fact they instigated it or not. A billion starving people wouldn't be easy to keep restrained.
War is another major economy driver, so no - it would not "crush" their economy. If you think in the current Internet age the Chinese government can be organized against so easily that it'll be overthrown by their own people, then you know so little about China that further discussion on this topic with you is a complete waste of time.
So you think war has made Russias economy better? That's the most modern example, show me.
Edit; the truth is temporary government money creates prosperity, long term, kills the economy
Oversimplification:
it depends on what that gov't money's in, doesn't it?
Education, properly-done, pays back many times over.
Corruption-removal does, too.
Trustworthy-infrastructure does, too.
Eradicating economic-waste, through effective regulation, does, too..
( ever heard of a sloppy-engineered, sloppy-configured, sloppy-built race-engine winning a NASCAR race?
No?
Only the tightest-regulated engines CAN compete at the top?
It's the same with rightly regulated economies: efficient, quick, agile, low-waste, instant-accountability, low-corruption, low-lossage, etc.
IT'S THE SAME PRINCIPLE.
I cannot understand why sooo many people reject that tightly-regulated race-engines win, & for the same principle/reason .. tightly-regulated-in-the-right-way economies win in the world-economy.
Ideology apparently prevents many from knowing the meaning, that is true, but good grief, it's obvious-as-hell, once seen, isn't it?
The tightest-economy has to be better than the sludge-corruption-and-inertia-economy, right?
whatever.. )
