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.

How’s all the progressives feeling about Genocide Joe and Kamala now?
I feel like this is not functionally different from what they did. I feel like, if this was such a fucking important election that MAYBE Biden and Kamala should have changed policies on Gaza rather than continually sending aid, weapons and bombs to genociders. That if they truly believed their rhetoric then maybe they should have actually listened to the base that told them aiding genocide would lose them the election.
Yeah, I'm pretty fucking pissed at Biden and Kamala for losing to Hitler 2.0.
Oh, and before you say it, yes I voted for Kamala and told everyone I could that it was the best person to vote for. I also said this would be the thing that lost her the election.
The DNC had to do so little to appease the progressives. Literally just let a Palestinian speak. Or say anything other than "Israel has a right to defend itself". Maybe actually host a sympathetic Imam. That's all they had to do and they didn't even try to do that.
If it easy such an important election, democrats would have passed electoral reform so other political parties could join in on the fight to defeat the republicans. Who could say no to more then one chance to win?
Unreal... Nobody can really question it I guess, since we'll never really know.
But what a bunch of fucking horseshit. Of course it's different. Are you serious?
Different how? Trump being openly okay with words instead of Biden saying he was against it but continuing to send weapons, money, un vetos etc?
If it's so obviously different, tell me how Kamala would have reacted? When did Biden withhold aid or did Kamala even hint at withholding aid?
Biden was literally shipping bombs to Israel right up until the moment Trump took office.
Of course it's not different. It's a giant black spot on Biden's legacy.
We could have only hoped that Kamala would have been different but frankly she gave 0 indications that she was willing to deviate from Biden's policies.
Yeah. Now you're pretending you don't love the genocide instead of cheerleading it like you did for the last year of the Bidenyahu administration.
Really wishing Kamala won. She's much less bad. Still quite bad, but much less bad.
How do you feel about the two party system? Do you think it's representing the populace very well?
Stop deflecting. Progressive purity testing has resulted in the death of US democracy and a dictatorship. You get what you deserve.
Democrats dropped our pushed out progressives in favor of non trump republicans just like in 2016. But yeah totally only the progressives fault
Well I’m of the opinion that fElon hacked the voting system anyway. I wouldn’t be surprised if the POTUS has been rigged for the last 50 years.
So that's your theory but still blaming progressives for the dnc inhiblity to actually win? (or do anything that isn't move right?)
lol. The progressive purity testing is intolerable and insufferable.
It's nice to see centrists coming around to at least pretending that they don't love genocide for its own sake, if only because it gives them an excuse to badmouth their only actual enemies: progressives.
I am a Jew. I have never supported Israel and I have always condemned it.
That never seems to matter though. To people like you, I'm genetically a Zionist.
Nice, straight up antisemitism.
They started this, trump is finishing it, they wouldn't have done anything different
