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.

Holy shit I didn't know it was this bad. That's worse than Nazi Germany, except for the concentration camps and gas chambers part. I feel like I have to call my local MP and complain about this, because NZ admits a lot of Indians. I'm completely against discrimination but if we had a law that said 70% of Indian immigrants must be Dalit, I bet that would piss the supremacists off a whole lot.
I've just provided a small snapshot, because its traumatic to write it all down. But the reality is so much worse, hence this attempt. Caste atrocities and Brahmin purity culture are India's best kept secrets, because even the perps know it is inhumane and barbaric. Now they're emboldened to normalise their purity culture outside India because oppressor castes are in positions of power in other countries and in large multi-national corporations. If that gets accepted then they'll work to normalize caste & caste atrocities.
They'd be hopping mad. You'd be called racist & Hinduphobic and they'd use your country's democracy, media, and laws to defeat such a law.
You talked of Nazi Germany's gas chambers and concentration camps.
India is the oppressor castes made open-air concentration camp which the oppressed castes are born into & cannot escape. Thanks to our Constitution created by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar (the first oppressed caste person who escaped, educated himself, and returned to free the rest of us. To say the oppressor castes hate him is an understatement.) and brave anti-caste leaders, the oppressed have a voice, are able to talk about these crimes against humanity, are able to garner support in their fight to be treated as humans,
What is the need for gas chambers when oppressor castes are barbaric enough to enjoy the public humiliation, torture, and murder of their fellow citizens? They know that the law will not apply to them because the police are also from the oppressor upper castes, if they get arrested after a hue-and-cry they'll be released on bail by judges who are also from oppressor upper castes. If all else fails, the media whch is 99% from oppressor castes & politicians in power who are also from oppressor castes will see they don't get punished.
It's estimated that about 95% of the videos of caste atrocities that come to light are recorded by the perpetrators who use them to boast and gain clout in their community, while their community uses these videos to further terrify oppressed castes.
Shit dude, this needs more public awareness. I'm going to do my part as best I can. Time for another rabbit hole to go down.
Prepare for mental trauma. I'm being serious here.
