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.

You and everyone who repeats the “I hope you’re happy now” really are not helping. You’re mad, I’m mad, but please please get your fill of catharsis/smug self righteousness elsewhere please, blaming non/voters isn’t going to rebuild the Obama coalition that delivered a supermajority in Congress. The Democrats lost the youth turnout, Palestine (Russian/astroturf bots or no) were not the sole factor but a sharp tipping point that laid out reality bare.
Im not at all surprised that young voters who became politically aware during the Obama era or later were gradually disenchanted and sat this round out; when you look at it from their timeline they did all the right democracy things and got shit on over and over
And nothing substantial happened that might change their mind. Kamala rode that same trajectory through her campaign, even as VP she had a harder stance on Israel that suddenly evaporated once she was appointed the nominee.
Its genocide - the crime of all crimes - and the Democratic Party refused to seriously discuss the topic in public. I cannot seriously blame them for giving up on a party that refused to listen to them in good faith, and disappointed them time after time. That’s on the DNC for throwing that demographic away, and we need to recognize that. They’re not voting for Republicans ffs but they’ve received the message that they and their vote, isn’t important to the Democrats.
Absolutely this.
Anyone denying the clear signals of despair from young voters is coping. Idk why anyone is getting mad at people demanding progress from dems at a time when there's no risk of electoral losses - makes me think those people are actually just carrying water for ani-reform neoliberal fascists.
Genocide is the ultimate crime huh?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izium_mass_graves
Or the genocide starting in America of people with skin the same color as I have.
It's Trump, no matter who the dems put up you weren't voting for them, you were voting against a rapist, pedophile traitor.
Fucking yes. I cannot believe we’re even having this argument. Nothing comes close.
I am absolutely not trying to downplay the barbarity and wanton cruelty of the Trump administration’s policies, but what we’ve seen so far doesn’t match the definition. Extrajudicial disappearances and zero due process for perceived or actual migrants is not the same thing as genocide. There’s no forced sterilization, rote murder, mass displacement, or deliberate attempt to destroy a collective people. CECOT is an overseas concentration camp, not a death camp - yet.
...
Dodged right around the mass graves?
The kidnapped children?
The destruction of culture through russification?
I don't quite understand your argument here, all of those crimes fall under the umbrella term of genocide as well.
Yet the only 'genocide' lemmy will talk about is palestine.
The thread's about netanyahu's genocide, so his supporters are trying to deflect.
? I've seen plenty of talk about the situation in Ukraine, Sudan and Kenia. Maybe your instance doesn't federate with the instances where those discussions happen?
Palestine is a notable one because it's perpetrated by our "ally" and it's also very high in civilian casualties. And I really don't say that to minimise any of the other atrocities going on.
I've seen a lot of mentions of other genocides on my instance, but what's notable about the Palestinian genocide is that the US and the western world is directly involved in it.
Typically when I see this complaint it's paired with a general vibe of wanting to deflect attention away from western atrocities. Not that I know enough to accuse you of that, but still.
So:
Maybe I should, I just only met a few and they all seemed like dicks, plus this was kind of kicked off by Oct 7.
When Europe got unpeaceful in the past bad shit happened, I don't want more bad shit.
Lol, well, uh... then fuck you?
Jesus christ. Maybe i don't care about Ukrainians or Europeans because they were mean to me once? If you think the genocide in Gaza doesn't 100% have the risk of spreading through the Middle east and into Europe, too, I don't think you're worth the time. And anyway, those weren't the genocides I was referring to.
Feels a little like you just don't like Arabs or Muslims.
That's a lot of words for you to say your sympathy is contingent on skin color.
Dude. I can name from memory the list of war crimes and genocidal acts that Russia has done, they’re on a speed run in their aggressive war of conquest. Bucha, Mariupol, perferdy, executing PoWs, torture, the kidnapped children being raised as Russian, deliberate bombing of civilians, Russification of the Donbas, chemical weapons use, the list goes on.
But the severity is not the same. Gazans can’t seek safety in western Ukraine, they have no missile defenses, they’re being deliberately starved to death as collective punishment, and are being kept inside a war zone by complete military encirclement and occupation.
He was better than the alternatives, but I agree, we should have started stomping balls like it was paddelball when he started fucking around.
BTW?
YOU'RE APPARENTLY EUROPEAN! YOU'RE STILL BUYIMG GAS YOU DUMB FUCK!!!
I love living in Scandinavia, they know what Russians deserve.
They are, I got them out of the country when the redneck filth took over.
I voted against Genocide, 2 genocides, sorry I don't give a shit about the specific one you seem obsessed about, but I'm also pretty sure the ones I care about are a hell of a lot bigger.
Also, I knew a lot of the people I voted to stop the genocide of, which is why I care so much.
As a new European, that's funny.
5 fucking steps ahead bitch, love what you did with the place BTW, really feng shui all up in here.
^ This is what forum sliding looks like disguised as progressive concern. Block and move on
edit: I'm pointing out right wing propaganda and I get downvoted? Fuck every one of you and I'm not putting in any more effort to keep the shit out of lemmy
no, it's not.
thank God
I see absolutely zero indication of this being right-wing propaganda.
You need to learn how to spot it better then
Everything i disagree with is propaganda
Like that?
I literally cannot find anything about “forum sliding” that isn’t re-re-re-reposts of the same text - and they’re almost universally tinfoil hat or ‘freethinker’ faux intellectual dross. If you’re that paranoid go read my comment history, it’s all public lol
If you want to live in a hugboxed information bubble where your ideas never get challenged, you can do that. But reality will come crashing through eventually.
