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.

Understand, that Trump's NOT playing the Zero-Sum Game: he's playing the Negative-Sum Game, as mass-shooters are, too..
He isn't working towards future-generations' victory, rather, he's working to enforce that there IS NO US of A for anybody to be a citizen-of, after he's finished with it: he will go down in history as its last ruler..
Same as mass-shooters want glory/infamy, not long-life..
( & "journalism"'s stringing-along the false-framing that it's really otherwise, is just helping increase our body-count at the end of this decade, in treason against true Journalism's spirit )
The 5 culture-levels ( levels, not "stages", as stages are irreversable, like larval-caterpiller, but adult-giraffe, after their metamorphosis, you know? ), that are anchored on the 3 categories of Game, are:
5: Positive-Sum Game, aka Win-Win Alliance: "Living is self-inherently AWESOME!!"
4: mixed: "WE are great, THEY are not."
3: Zero-Sum Game, aka competitive-narcissism, which money-people presume that all players are playing: "I am great, others are not."
2: mixed, subject-to-narcissism's-rule: "MY life sucks."
1: Negative-Sum Game, mass-shooters, competitive-nihilism: "LIFE, ITSELF sucks, let's butcher it for importance/glory."
You can watch the simplified-condensed version here: https://www.ted.com/talks/david_logan_tribal_leadership & if you find that understanding the 5 cultures is important to you, because you want to decide which of the cultures you live-in, through the rest of your life, then I beg you to invest in understanding everything in their book, "Tribal Leadership" by Logan, King, & Fischer-Wright.
They didn't realize that the 5 culture-levels all hang on the 3 categories of game, I did, but with that key, it's even more important to be understanding this, as the US of A is now manufacturing a mass-enforced-conversion of people down to culture-level-2 & culture-level-1 ( homeless oft becomes culture-level-1 within 3 months, and I say that having experienced years of it: it DESTROYS you, inside ).
Immunize your life against that particular erosion-of-your-life, now, while you've still got good leverage, because they're working to enforce that we lose all our leverage, ASAP..

EDIT: to make it explicit, what I'm saying..
IF you don't understand which of the 3 categories-of-Game a player is playing, THEN you aren't competent in understanding what their strategy is!!
ONCE you understand that the accelerationists, & the far-right, are not playing for long-rule, they are playing for power-while-destroying-everyone-else's-life, THEN you can understand what is, vs what isn't, Strategy, from their perspective, see?
Should have made that obvious, instead of only implying it, as it was sufficiently-obvious in my head, but .. you aren't me, & be happy about that, too.
