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.

Today's the 83rd continuous day of the ethnic & communal cleansing of Kukis (mostly Christians) by Meiteis (mostly Hindus) in Manipur, India.
India's Hindu supremacist Prime Minister (awarded the Grand Croix de Legion de l'honneur by France' President Macron 10 days back), Home Minister, & the Chief Minister of Manipur are content to let it continue.
So you’ve conveniently given a religious angle to this mess?
There’s absolutely no other reason to it?
I'm not the one killing Kukis and Meitei Christians and burning churches in Manipur. Ask the Meitei why they are doing so.
Ask them where they hawked their humanity to become the beasts who burn people alive, who torture and rape girls & women, who strip naked and parade women, who gangrape women, who behead men and display the severed heads, who set fire to homes and schools and churches, who lynch and beat people to death, who shoot people dead.
And when you're asking them, tell them that they have shamed Manipur, India, and the name of Meitei in front of the world, in the eyes of all humanity, for the rest of time. Tell them animals are better than them. Tell them not just India, the whole world wants to know what the fuck is wrong with them.
I’m making a comment on your perspective, which is biased based on religion.
The issue has more complication to it and you water it down religious conflict, you are no better than the Jay Shree Ram gang in that regard.
Quite shameful.
From all the information available to me, it's an ethnic & communal genocide. if you have any info that contradicts or adds a different understanding, then come out with it instead of passing personal judgement.
An ethnic and communal conflict is VERY different than a religious conflict.
I’ve a problem with you specifically mentioning two religions as it portrays a very different picture.
And I will pass personal judgement as you are not putting any effort to counter your bias.
Feel free to add to the conversation whenever you feel like it, by citing sources or articles in support or against a point.
What you're doing now is just slinging garbage just so you can be perceived as "unreasonable and contemptuos" instead of "rude and churlish".
What sources did OP add to suggest it is a religious conflict?
If you have any of my comment, you'll notice I have mae very clear that the violence is ethnic & communal. if you read into it, something that I have not written, then don't blame me. Maybe correct your reading comprehension and your bias causing it is?
Since you have neither added any info to help understand your pov nor info to contradict my understanding, what I say stands. You are obviously a troll come here to waste my time. So I'll leave this comment here and block you in the next 5 mins.
That is what OP is doing.
