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.

Venezuela: EU calls for full vote count in election dispute (www.dw.com)

The European Union will not recognize President Nicolas Maduro's claim to victory in the Venezuelan election until all ballots were counted and accounted for, said Josep Borrell, the bloc's foreign policy chief.

European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Wednesday the bloc could not recognize the outcome of Venezuelan election until all votes were counted and records made available.

International criticism has mounted over Venezuela's vote count that handed incumbent President Nicolas Maduro a narrow victory on Sunday.

Protesters have filled the streets since, with demonstrations turning violent on Monday as authorities in riot gear clashed with people in the capital Caracas.

Other cities saw protests too and at least 11 have died in connection with the protests in the country as of Wednesday, with hundreds more arrested.

And Hungary vetoed the joint EU statement.

I wouldn't go as far as kicking them out, that would be one more Serbia to deal with, but at least curtail all their political influence in the EU. It is clear that they are a trojan horse, but it would also be good to make the rules for isolating a hostile member clear and predictable, but also flexible enough to adapt to whatever new ways they find to go around it.

Countries cannot be kicked out from the EU.

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

We know that, but how far does an EU country have to go until they actually find a way to do it? Particularly if a government is elected that tries to break all EU rules and sides with enemies.

[–] Syntha@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

There is no way to do it and I don't think they'll be able to add a way without unanimous support.

You can, however, suspend EU voting power and funding when a state is behaving undemocratically. Make them irrelevant. Still technically part of the EU, but not included in any of the processes until they can prove they respect democratic values

You're thinking about official EU rules devised for peacetime. I'm thinking about what the EU would do if he did something irreversibly hostile e.g. invited troops/missiles from russia/China to station in Hungary. I don't think you'd still be following the same rule book by then. I was asking how far the threat would need to go for something coordinated to happen without pussyfooting, regardless of who acts like nothing is happening.

Man I wish Orban and his crew went to visit Titanic

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I heard a heiress with the original Magyar crown jewels was aboard the Titanic when it sunk. Maybe Orban will try to restore hungarian greatness by singlehandedly recovering them. That will finally make him loved and respected by all.
