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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

And somehow he was awarded the Nobel peace price! Which only shows us the price is completely without moral basis.
They might as well have awarded it to Netanyahu.
The only real defense is that it was 2009 and he hadn't really had much of a chance to display what a motherfucker he is, but man, he sure did spend the seven years after that making sure everyone knew he was a piece of shit.
I can't get over that Canada spends like 30 billion a year on their military. Mexico spends 8 billion a year on theirs. And both provide an exponentially better standard of living for their people overall.
Here, we get bombs for our tax dollars and not much else.
Yes, he hadn't shown much, and there was no basis for awarding him the price.
100%
He gave good speeches. That was it. I wish people in this country cared more about a politician's actions and votes than what they say.
If they did, Kamala would have won by a landslide. She was closest to Sanders in voting record, and as VP pushed for the investigation that's required to bypass the law that says we have to supply Israel with weapons.
Absolutely, I too fell for it for years. It was only a few years into his presidency it really became obvious to me, that he may be better then Republicans, but he still suffered from serious American delusions of might makes right, and disregard for the rights of everybody not American.
I wouldn't argue that he was better than Republicans, especially after he supported the crackdown on Occupy and bailed out the big banks while the rest of the US became permanently poorer.
He's like any Democrat, a Republican that's just packaged and presented differently.
Well I understand why many say that, but between 2 evils I still believe that Democrat is the lesser evil, after all they do have people like Bernie and AOC.
And I believe if Americans want to change politics in USA for the better, the best way is probably to engage with the Democrats, and help changing the party to something more progressive from within.
But I agree Democrats are disappointingly bad, and have been so especially in the face of Trump, where Democrats have done next to nothing, and is offering no strong alternative to the ~~far~~ extreme right that the Republicans are.
