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.

If you could only reason with unreasonable people .
If all it took was a UN letter to the manager, we wouldn't be in this position. Laws without enforcement are called wishes.
What’s a Warm Onger?
Typo. Perhaps they meant a warm onager.
Could give him a wee coat, especially if it’s going to be cold overnight :3
That makes more sense. We have all heard of wild Asian asses advocating for a NWO. Warm ones are particularly aggressive.
Expected siege engine; was disappointed.
I mean, you could employ them siege weapons. If you have enough of them. An an imagination.
"must", .. or what??
Pretentious idiocy.
Mental-rabies NEEDS to be dealt-with AS mental-rabies.
Ideology/prejudice/"religion" which prohibits objectivity, & is identity-anchor, HAS to be dealt-with as functionally subhuman: mere-animal mind/determination,
because it IS mere-animal mind: the imprint->reaction mind of unreasoning herdbeasts, of unreasoning pack-animals.
Continuing to pretend that ideology/prejudice/"religion"'s programming is "reasonable" & reason-WITH-able, .. is simply us making ourselves into helpers of their slaughtering our own children: it is outright criminality.
Churchill, who simultaneously was prejudiced-scum who enforced lots of needless destruction-of-life in India AND he was the guy who held the West together during WW2
( I'm fed-up with ideology's "people are either all-good or all-bad, and OUR people are all-good, and OTHER people are all-bad" prejudice..
Hans Reiser was a murder of his own wife, but ReiserFS was a good filesystem which committed no crime.
The founder of Ikea was a Nazi-party member years before, but his Ikea has done great good in our world, for people like college students & young families.
Musk's 5 stages of engineering, which most get in the wrong-order, with Remove Dumb Requirements 1st, iirc Delete Unnecessary Parts & Processes is 2nd, Simplify & Clarify is 3rd? then Accelerate, then last is Automate, .. is 1 of the most-important gifts the ENTIRE engineering-field has ever gotten, & yes, he is a physical tech genius, AND he is a flagrant Nazi fascist, & absolute enemy of civil-rights.
People who intentionally side with evil can have done some right-things:
ideology's oversimplification isn't what Universe sees, & therefore it isn't what G-D sees, either.
It's why we now use Nazi-design shaped protective hats for our military people: that-design protects-lives better.
As the USMC's rule says: take their technology, not their doctrine. ( & that requires having the integrity+intelligence to differentiate between the 2, doesn't it? )
( that rule is from "Corps Business: the 30 Management Principles of the US Marines" by David H. Freedman, a senior-Forbes-editor who directly asked the USMC if he could immerse himself among them, learn all he could, & write a book about it.. Why did the USMC agree? because they figured they could actually learn something, & that's leverage! ) )
Anyways, as Churchill identified, there is zero point in arguing-with, or reasoning-with, either drunks or fanatics.
More-properly-resolved, it is the imprint->reaction mind that there isn't any point in treating as "rational".
Kahneman1 mind ( lower-forebrain, ttbomk ).
IF someone demonstrates that they're solidly within imprint->reaction mind, disallowing/ignoring/denying evidence, correct-reasoning, etc, THEN accept that, deal-with that, & treat them as incapable-of-rationality human-shaped-animals.
MANAGE THEM, DO NOT LET THEIR WON'T-KNOW MANAGE US!!
Suspending that decision endlessly, helps them to slaughter our lives.
& I'm fed-up with pretending otherwise being treated as "the only valid position".
WHEN DEALING-WITH RABIES, TREAT IT AS RABIES.
WHEN DEALING-WITH WON'T-KNOW-EVIDENCE/WON'T-REASON, TREAT IT AS IDEOLOGICAL-PREJUDICE.
To be honest, I don't expect much of humankind to survive the next-century, if any does, simply because pretending/ignoring/denying is sooo fundamentally preferred to actual-honesty/objectivity.
"Actions speak louder than words" people say .. but "words are more valid than actions" is what our "journalism" and our "governing" and our pseudo-accountability and our legal-systems etc all enforce/"prove"/enact.
Only when there are nearly-no-human-lives-left will that be force-changed??
Possible..
Too bad for the future-generations, but that's our-generation's determination, isn't it?
Better to murder-off all their future-lives, than to have spine/integrity now?
sickening, repugnant, but .. proudly-committed-by-many, now.
"Accelerationists", especially.
they "must" do this, or that .. OR WHAT??
FORCE consequences, morons, or allow them to slaughter us all.
"governing", my arse.
Occupying-authority-while-NOT-governing, more like.
Accountability-repellent seems to be what political-authority is made-of??
_ /\ _
PS: I'm not advocating-for what the ideologues do, I'm advocating for accepting that at the individual level, IF an individual demonstrates that they are immune-to-reason, THEN treat that-individual as immune-to-reason.
the ideologues judge people as mere-animal if they're outside-of-the-ideologues'-IDENTITY, & that's a pre-judging mechanism, not an objective-judging-based-on-actual-behavior basis.
The Hamas programming that Jews cannot be human, the Zionist programming that Palestinians cannot be human, etc, that is the pre-judging that I'm calling mental-rabies.
There ARE people, of my nationality, & yours, who war against considered-reasoning ( upper-forebrain, ttbomk ), trying to enforce imprint->reaction's totalitarian dominion.
The Catholic inquisition tried, for centuries, to murder its way to unquestioning-lordhood, the "Christian" nationalists are working on recreating that kind of animal-human totalitarian dominion in the US of A right now.
ALL the Abrahamic-religions, ALL the Dharmic-religions ( of India ), ALL kinds of Indigenous religions, fundamentalist-atheism, physicalism-existentialism, ANY paradigm can be converted into an imprint->reaction ideology,
AND any religion can be held to be a considered-reasoning religion, by humans.
It ISN'T which "label" a person is wearing, it is their behavior which need be judged, & treated-as-it-actually-is.
( I realized after writing that people were going to perhaps-intentionally misinterpret it to claim that I'm just gaslighting, just pushing ideology while pretending to stand counter to ideology, simply because I hadn't identified that it is individual behavior which shows the real truth.
Hopefully, that's fixed, now, clearly-enough. : )
