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.
-
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.

He apparently respects any type of consensual sex, hyperbolically including sex with an elephant. I do not know how to feel about the fact that he's okay with zoophilia (which is rape). It's also very dehumanizing to compare people's sexual orientations to having sex with animals.
In reference to public funding for gender-affirming care and public education, he said: "I have no problem, but don't impose it on me by the state. Don't steal money from people to impose someone else's ideas on them. That is violent."
On the topic of transgender rights, Milei has stated that he "does not care" about gender identification "as long as you do not make me pay the bill", and compared it to identifying as a cougar.
Again, it's a very dehumanizing position towards trans people.
He also doesn't seem to be an LGBT ally even though people classify him as "socially progressive" (lol). He's at most tolerant of our existence, but he doesn't seem to be the guy that would do anything to protect the LGBT community if it ever came to protecting them. And the fact that he's against state funded gender affirming care, which is life saving to trans people, is quite sad to me. But whatever, you guys do you. I'm not so sure turbocapitalism on steroids will save you. I personally dislike this guy's half assed positions and think he will turn on you the moment he "needs to respect the decision of the people".
Isn't he also trying to push an abortion ban right now?

Sucks to be a woman down there I guess. But whatever, they'll be martyred for "the good of the economy" and Milei's "plan to save Argentina".
Also good for you that you voted for him? You don't have to be so defensive, I never attacked your "beliefs"
He’s not ok with zoophilia, you literally just said that’s an hyperbole, a mere reductio ad absurdum to say “as long as all parties consent, do whatever” this example talks about a consenting elephant, such creature does not exist in the real world and was created for the sake of the hyperbole.
Nope, he’s just saying “do whatever you want with your gender, the goverment will not interfere”. We have 40% poverty, gender affirming care is a privilege we can’t afford right now(he doubled funding social welfare peograms because he believes that’s the priority)
Tolerance is all we need, and it’d still be illegal to harm us just like it’s illegal to harm anyone else.
We’re sure enough to vote him, we’ll see.
We trust him enough to vote him, we’ll see.
Yeah we know he’ll try to ban abortion, he’ve been saying “I’ll call a referendum on the abortion laws” his whole campaign, that’s yet another reason why we(men and women) voted for him.
Nay don’t worry about it, we’re good, i don’t expect a foreign to be 100% in touch with my country’s problems, politics and culture. Also sorry bout bad english
Then why is he trying to force a bill now instead of calling a referendum?
He can’t “force a bill”, the congress needs to approve it. A referendum/plebiscite would be an alternative route in case the congress does not approve(which is almost a guaranteed)
Edit: apparently the bill you’re talking about was not made by him but by legislators of his party WITHOUT EVEN ASKING, there’s already conspiracy theories about this not being a “just fuck-up” but an intentional attempt to harm his image.
