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.

Probably also a massive brain drain to boot.
Yeah, I don't think this will help very much with that particular issue...
I don’t know. Maybe they need more cryptocurrency experts and sovcit hedge-lawyers to help with getting around sanctions

Probably. "Come to Russia! Is safe place! Is not place with liberals! What? No, we don't need bodies for military! No conscription of foreigners here!"
Fast and easy to get citizenship!
Service guarantees citizenship!
Would you like to know more?

As a western liberal, I would feel so owned if conservatives started heading over to Russia en masse. Just the thought of not being able to convert their children into Satanic, transgender bisexuals and forcing abortions on them makes me want to puke. Please stay, stop, don’t go.
I get your point, but if anyone goes over there, they're bringing their underage children, and those children will likely suffer. So, I'd rather them stay and be safe than be right and have them suffer. I don't wish ill on those hateful people, for the most part, I wish them a clear view of the social, political, and economic landscapes.
Now, the people who intentionally hatemonger for profit, like Alex Jones, I would not be sad if they met an untimely fate.

About to be a bunch of confused conservatives showing up in Kursk with a few bullets and no training?
Who quickly realise that hunting deer isn't a proper way to prepare for modern combat.

russia is not conservative at all, but it is a fascist police state without 1st, 2nd, in fact all amendments I've checked up to the 10th, so they're going to love it, I guess.
Shhh, They THINK Putin's Russia is a conservative utopia so don't crush their dreams.

Well, most countries aren't going to have the same constitutional rights as the USA has. In the same way, the US doesn't give their citizens the same rights as those in other countries receive. As such, I'm not sure if there's too much point comparing the two.
Otherwise. Yes, it's not going to be a nice place to live, and anyone that chooses this option has only themselves to blame when they realise they made a deal with the leopard that has a history of biting faces off.

You can have 'em!
The reality is Putin is attempting two genocides, one in Ukraine and one in Russia. He has purged undesireables from liberals and independent media to the LGBTQ+ community, ethnic minorities, political opposition, boisterous oligarchs, prisoners, and so forth... He and his Rasputin, Aleksandr Dugin, believe they can create a stronger Russia by making it a more pure one. But good luck with that lol.
Putin be like, "Watch me speed-run becoming North Korea, stuck in the past and global pariah."
Ask the Freestra family, who left Canada to escape its wokism, how's the move working out? https://nemoskva.net/en/2024/02/09/eto-bylo-ochen-glupo-seme-kanadczev-pereehavshih-v-nizhegorodskuyu-oblast-zablokirovali-scheta/

I wouldn't mind my tax money paying for their one-way tickets. Especially if they leave their passport at the gate.
One only needs to prove their worth through an indeterminate amount of non-optional military service time.
Hey you!
Want to live ina dictatorship where no one gives a shit about you, until you speak up?
Want to walk very carefully by windows after speaking up?
Want to be nothing but a pawn in the game of a dictator?
Welcome to Russia!
I hope these people put their money where their mouth is and leave.
Ooh yeah send all of em over to Russia to align with their spiritual and moral values. Especially the ones who "I would've been locked out of the Marines during boot because I'd have punched the drill sergeant" types and see what happens when they get conscripted.
The people of Bucha got a taste of the "Russian spiritual and moral values" and we will not forget!
Bet the intelligence agencies will label anyone who takes up on Putin’s offer as a foreign agent when they return home.

Oh no! Putin please do not take homophobes away from my country, oh no...
I would be so mad if suddenly homophobes went to Russia. They would really own me if they all decided to go to Putinland.
