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.

Libertarian for me but not for thee... like all Libertarians.
'quick, our poorly thought out economic policies are making things worse, we need divisive rage bait'. 'I have it, we'll ban abortion'.
Banning abortion has always been his position. Libertarian my ass.
He's hitting the middle of the target on elected Libertarians.
Always thought they libertarians are prochoise in mass
Most of them are just neoliberals who are upset there's still a handful of regulations stopping them from going full psycopath in the name of record profits.
In my experience, Libertarians are generally white men under the delusion that equality under law functionally exists already. That ideological principle matters more than actual systems and structures of equality. That their tax dollars should only fund the street they live on. Anything beyond that breaches their individual rights. It seems to make sense until you think, at all.
Liberty for me, not for thee.
"en masse."
They're wolves in sheep's clothing. I'm over all government leadership. They only represent their own interests.
I mean, this is very clear proof they're not libertarians. We could just stop referring to them as such.
Real fucking libertarian of him. /s
Ancaps deserve to be called out specifically, especially on something like this.
I though he wanted to be ultra libertarian? But I see he's supporting Palestine's occupation... No questions left.
Libertarians continuing to be trash people. Nothing new there.
Reverse Wolverine strikes again!
Who's got "suspend elections to remain in power and become a dictatorship" on their Argentina Bingo Card? I'm betting that will come when his term in office is up.
I'm going all in on someone shoots him within the next 12 months.
Strangely, he isn't loosening restrictions on private gun ownership, like any good ancap would.
Wonder why.
We welcome Argentina to the 15th century.
"liberty for me, but not for thee"
The text does not present any defense in the event of rape
For a change, anti-abortionists are consistent. It makes no sense that they claim that fetuses are babies subject to rights, but also almost always that it is okay to abort them for rape.
How will this address Argentina's tumultuous economy? Oh wait. It won't. He's a right-wing populist and everyone said he would do shit like this but humans were bamboozled yet again by the confusing reality of right wing politicians doing things against the interest of the working class. It's not like we have decades upon decades of world history to draw from that says that voting Conservative is a vote against your best interests, both socially and economically.
(John) Oliver also pointed out how Milei has been extremely vocal on other subjects no one asked for, including sharing details about his sex life. He told multiple women in a TV interview in 2018 that he ejaculates only once every three months. “I completely believe that the guy we saw screaming at dead economists, smashing miniature banks on TV and waving a chainsaw in the streets may be a little — and I’m sorry for saying this — backed up,” Oliver said.
🎶 The world is going to shit 🎶
He looks like an old wet shag carpet.
