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.

Hi, since you live there, would you please be willing to mention what you think this politician gets right, wrong and is mediocre about? I ask because of the user who claims you don't know what an authoritarian demagogue is.
Thanking you in advance, regardless of your decision.
I could and have many points in mind, and yet none of that is relevant to what we're discussing. If you think he's authoritarian and whatnot, I invite you to prove that point first, because I cannot prove a negative, but I can tell you that this is not how he handles policy or runs his government.
Thank you in advance, regardless of your decision.
Mexican president defends disclosing a reporter’s phone number, saying the law doesn’t apply to him.
Yeah and? That's no indication of anything else that goes on. Do you know anything that I don't? Link, pls.

What about it? You're missing the point just like everyone else here.
I don't think he is. I don't think he isn't. I asked you for your perspective since you live there and felt strongly enough to post what you did. I guess whatever any outsiders think is of no consequence, since outsiders have no right to form any opinion on whatever happens to your country or people, since outsiders obviously have no influence on what they're governments do or what narratives we accept or reject.
I'm not asking you to not form an opinion. I'm telling you that you're concluded something about him as a whole based on a single story. You've already characterized him in a certain way based on this. Do you realize that? Because it seems that you don't.
Link to whatever else you think makes him a fascist. Please. Make your point.
What? I never did anything of the sort, mate*. Please check user names on comments.

Te downvotearon por ciego. Si realmente piensas que AMLO esta haciendo un gran trabajo, te invito a que te eduques, leas y te quites los lentes de color rosa. Ese tipo esta haciendo un cagadero ppr todos lados, y la gente decente que no se da cuenta son el problema mas grande.
Pasa las fuentes no tan amarillistas y hablamos.
Cancelo un aereopuerto contándonos a todos miles de millones de pesos de nuestros impuestos. Armó su gabinete rodeandose de un All-stars de los weyes mas corruptos del PRI y del Verde. Salió en pandemia a decirle a la gente que bastaba con sus estampitas de la virgen y desestimó las vacunas, tiene opiniones anticuadisimas hacia la tecnología renovable, etc etc. Esto es información pública.
Aquí no estamos hablando qué decisiones económicas ha tomado como presidente bajo un marco legal. Tampoco estamos hablando de qué es lo que pensamos sobre su gabinete, ni de qué opiniones malinformadas tiene sobre la preferencia a la religión sobre medicina establecida. Nada de eso se está discutiendo. Si vamos a hablar de esto, va a ser atinado y no lo que tú quieres que yo defienda. Porque en esos casos--legales--ahí vamos a salir más de acuerdo. Pero estamos hablando de cómo AMLO supuestamente ha abusado de su poder sintiéndose superior a la ley.
Y los de pedir fuentes de info, tiene varias funciones más que verificar info y es a lo que voy. Así que te pido respetar el tema y sustanciarlo, por favor.
Si estamos hablando de eso. El tipo es un pendejazo que ha tomado decisiones terribles, se ha rodeado de lacras, se codea con familiares del narco y se la vive haciendo cosas turbias (visitar Baridaguato seguido por ejemplo).
Tu quieres crear una distinción entre todo esto, como si no estuviera correlacionado o si no fuera la misma persona. Todo es parte de lo mismo, ponerte a distinguir entre una cosita y otra como si el mismo presidente compartamelizara su forma de actuar es una táctica demagogica y poco mas que eso.
No, amigo, para ti todo es lo mismo porque no te cae bien. Para mí puede o no caerme, y aún así puedo hacer la distinción.
Yo no estoy defendiéndolo porque estoy muy en contra de su opinión. Yo estoy resguardando a que estos gringos no empiecen con denigrar a nuestro presidente y por extensión a nuestro país por una nota chueca que agarró tracción y tiene similitudes con su propia política. Fácil pueden hacer la conexión que sinceramente no está ahí. Yo sé que no está ahí porque yo vivo esa política local y nadie habla de que abusa del poder. Sino al contrario, no lo ha hecho en los años que ha servido y ya va para afuera el viejo.
De lo que tú le estás acusando no hay nada y ya también busqué. Deja a un lado los sesgos y mira al panorama.
El país y el presidente se denigran solos. Los extranjeros lo único que tienen son ojos.
Pues dale, pues. Si tanto se denigrean solos no dudo que haya una nota confiable sobre eso que abusa del poder acorde a lo que se está hablando.
Pero ojo, te lo pido bien atinado al tema y nada más. Espero tu respuesta bien informada, que si de algo vienes a hablar, debes demostrarlo. Y eso va en general y no sólo con la política.
