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.

Situations like this is why countries need to setup safe immigration routes.
Not every country wants all immigration though.
Sure everyone wants their own personal castle.
I just think people can just have some slightly less nice things, maybe instead of buying a f150 truck get a small utility vehicle, stuff like that.
As somebody who also is on the fuckcars train, how the fuck did you manage to get on that topic in a response to my comment lol
How to tell me you're a dumb american that doesn't know Europe without telling me you're a dumb american that doesn't know Europe.
xD wow you think I'm American, you are extremely cold my friend.
I am a South African who recently ran away to the Netherlands to avoid constant load shedding and rich with sollar panels.
I think you have a big image of how people in rixh countries live. Most people dont live in big houses, most people dont own trucks. Sure the average person has more things than an averga person in a poor country, but the average person is not going to sacrifice their small luxuries, so people from poor countries come to live with them, especially if the people coming dont have studies and are just going to be living frol the government's money.
I bet you are fine with banks doing it.
I'm in no way saying the average person should have to sacrifice anything, the problem is that is exactly what your currently being force to do by the people above you.
Just think of how many people could literally be housed for life with the money spent on Jeffs latest yacht he sailed out of Amsterdam.
Where talking orders of magnitude difference between the average person and the rich never mind those who are desperately trying to escape.
I mean I agree, but apples are red yknow?
Spain already has a large immigrant population. And is accepting of refugees too.
If given the choice to freely immigrate to the developed world, what percentage of the billion of people in poverty in Africa would choose to do so?
I suppose you are from Spain, so you can freely work anywhere in the UE. Germany, for example, is way richer than Spain, companies up there pay way more than the ones in the south. If your argument about free immigration is correct, millions and millions of Italians, Greeks, Spaniards.. .are already living in Germany or the Netherlands, right?
There are. I moved from a third world country to a rich country without problems. I have now a safe job and I contribute back to society. No need to risk my life in a boat.
I wouldn't say I did it with no problems but you can certainly do it, as long as you have everything align for you and you have what ever the people in power want 🙂
I lucked out but many of my friends have no such opertunity.
Fucking lucky you mate, want a gold star?
For many people it’s not safe enough to stay where they are why they wait the 10-20 years it takes for the “official” route to let them in.
You want a consolation prize?
It's not the rich countries fault that for many people its not safe in their countries. The rich countries are accepting a lot of people, and there are routes for same immigration. These countries cannot take everyone and anyone, or else they would collapse. Its not hard to understand.
Care to point out which current unsafe country doesn't have it's recent history involving Europeans fucking them over?
Also rich countries take a pittance in compared to countries neighbouring conflicts, where's your concern about sharing the load there? Rich countries can do far, far, far more than they are without collapsing.
Oh one country worth mentioning is the Philippines, they got fucked over by the Americans instead XD
Your first comment made me think I would not agree with you but you have won me over.
I come from South Africa and watching the Dutch and the amount of resources that goes to just cleaning up from a single town party it's clear that so much more can be done.
Third world countries aren't under developed they are overly exploited.
Thailand? The only country that was never ruled by the west or in the west. Still very poor but you did ask and I answered.
