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.

India's shitty neighbors? Oh, come on. India is a really shitty neighbor themselves. Yeah, Pakistan Bad, China Bad, but India isn't any better.
India right now is literally being ruled by a bunch of hindutva fascists. They are creating a religious divide, oppressing religious minorities and spreading industrial amount propaganda against them. May I remind you, India was the first one to strike Pakistan, and they striked a mosque. It's definitely a religiously motivated attacked.
Also ever heard of their neighboring country Bangladesh? It was ruled by a fascist regime that was very friendly to India. Up until 2024 when a mass uprising dismantled them and they fled to India. At least 1,500 people were murdered during the movement, and India is giving these war criminals shelter. India has also been ever since running a huge misinformation campaign against Bangladesh, stopping imports and exports, denying VISAs, even threatening to invade in some cases. Because they miss exploiting Bangladesh under their friendly fascists.
I have heard about Bangladesh.
It used to be part of Pakistan actually.
Pakistan was so fascist (basically military juntas all the way down) that Bangladesh rebelled and took its independence.
Bhutto was executed for this, and his daughter was later assassinated just for fun.
They supported the taliban and are why the taliban took back control and brutally subjugated all the women again.
Note how there are no Hindu communities in Pakistan, because during paritition they were expelled or massacred.
There are nearly as many Muslims in India than in Pakistan (200m VS 240m).
India is literally the only democracy around.
Pakistan is a nation of terrorists, which is why they hid bin ladin. They get what they deserve.
Wow, hindutva in the Fediverse. That's new.
Nope, secular atheist from the US.
But Pakistan is a plague, they support terrorism for fun, they supported the worst terrorist in history while pretending to help find him.
Everybody should be anti-Pakistan as a matter of course.
Can I be anti-everyone involved?
I mean, that's fine.
I don't hate India because they actually were fairly progressive in the past, even if they're backsliding now.
You've been spewing hindutva shit throughout this thread so if you claim to not be a Hindu nationalist then stop carrying water for fascists. You sound like Zionists trying to "prove" that Israel should be allowed to genocide Gazans.
I'm not pro-hindu at all.
But fuck Pakistan, fuck them to death.
Btw, it's funny you mention zionism.
Becauae Pakistan expelled or massacred their Hindus worse than the dreams of Israel.
Also: "Everybody I disagree with is a zionist." lemmy's favorite game.
Not only Hindus. Their treatment of Ahmadis is deplorable. They can't vote (unless they declare themself to be non Muslim). They can't pray in public, quote the Quran or pray in regular mosques. They aren't considered Muslim. The constitution itself discriminates against them.
Bin ladin killed many thousands, good luck beating his kill count.
