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.

The thing is, your constituents don't care. We've seen enough war to last all of us ten thousand lifetimes or more. End it.
Why would Biden care what Dem voters think?
It's him or trump, and apparently that means he can do whatever the fuck he wants with zero consequences.
He feels entitled to votes just because he's not trump, so he's not going to make any compromises with progressives
When I talk to people about the next election this is exactly what they say...
That's a hell of a campaign position.. I'm not worse then the other guy might be, so eat it.
Also a huge indictment if the two party system and the total capture by the first past the post voting system.
The main difference between trump and every other president is that trump doesn't know not to say the quiet part out loud. Most presidents are good at discretion, as most federal policies are monstrous.
Trump lead stadiums full of people in chants of, "build that wall," in contrast to obama and biden who quietly maintained the barriers on the southern boarder. Same policy different messaging.
Gaza will be no different. Trump enthusiastically supports the genocide, whereas biden criticizes and puts on a show like he's putting pressure on isreal, while still supporting them entirely. Same policy, different messaging.
I would love to be proven wrong, but expierence says otherwise.
I'm not aware of data showing trumps supports the genocide.
Trump supports Israel's "war against terror." He has said so. His supporters do too. Nikki Haley wrote "finish them" or something on a missile whilst in Israel. Trump is wholeheartedly in support of this genocide and will definitely never set any kind of red lines around it. Biden is shit but trump is a whole sewer worth.
I doubt trump is worst for palestine than the guy who said if israel didn't exists we have to create it, it's the greatest 3 billions investment we ever made.
