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.

True, though I somewhat doubt the wisdom of expanding the already controversial dual citizenship at this time, when immigration is a currently hot topic that is largely responsible for their gains.
Either way, this is an absolute farce. Dual citizenship is the most ridiculously undemocratic practice that somehow flies under the radar.
The biggest issue is getting to vote in two societies, we see very well with Russian and Turkish immigrants what the result of that is: Reactionaries who live in a liberal society voting for authoritarians in their countries of origin; or otherwise furthering their agenda because they get to completely avoid any consequences of their policies.
Just to clarify: I’m against dual citizenships, not immigration.
From a country who strips one's citizenship if one gets another (Japan) and following the court cases to allow dual citizenship I say the motivation for dual citizenship is not because so that they can work for their origin country. Duties and rights of citizen work in both ways.
From what I can tell the main motivation for citizenship is a) directly related restriction in job market ( eg. operating license for the field) or b) to legalize and secure their right to stay with their family members. Immigrants have financially attached to the country of living and their decision is often practical, and their vote is dependent on whether the policy is beneficial to them, like people with single citizenship.
It needs proper background check for sure, but the argument of foreign interference is fear mongering and often xenophobic imo.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
"And I assume that, in the long term, all 1.5 million citizens of Turkish origin in Germany who do not yet have German citizenship will acquire dual citizenship," the head of the Turkish Community in Germany organization, Gökay Sofuoglu, told the media group Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland.
On Friday, Germany's lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, approved a law that shortens the path to citizenship and makes it easier to hold multiple nationalities.
The first wave of Turkish migration to Germany took place in the 1960s when German companies recruited workers from foreign countries to help with its post-war reconstruction.
and a 2022 survey found there is nearly the same number of German citizens with "migrant background," meaning they have been naturalized, or have at least one immigrant parent.
But this record seems destined to be broken soon, as the new law aims to make foreigners living in German eligible for citizenship after five instead of eight years of being based in the EU country.
In cases where applicants are "exceptionally well integrated," naturalization would be possible after three years, and the bill will also loosen restrictions on dual nationality.
The original article contains 358 words, the summary contains 183 words. Saved 49%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
If only obtaining another nation’s citizenship would automatically make you into a tolerant person healing all hints of nationalism.
