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.

The Rwandan "Machete Season" Holocaust was an actual holocaust.
No "nation", not even the nation of Jews or Zionists, has ANY right to pretend that only their subjection-to-genocide was a holocaust.
The 7 exterminations enforced by the Israelites, according to the old-testament, were the original holocausts.
( some places in the bible identify 7 nations, others 6:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+20%3A17&version=CJB
is the verse where it orders the final solution against 6 nations, to get the sense of what HOLOCAUST meant, originally. )
Hittites, etc, nations, exterminated.
Leonard Shlain identified that, in his book "The Alphabet Versus The Goddess", btw: I'd never have noticed it, instead assuming that holocausting was always normal, but it wasn't..
( & he didn't notice that the Catholic Inquisition holocausted women, ultra-proving his book's point, as it was the latin-educated who were enforcing that holocausting-of-women, & to a lesser extent, holocausting-of-Jews,
so his work is corroborated by evidence he didn't notice, too. )
Nationalist-narcissism cannot be permitted to false-frame our world: that is machiavellian disinformation, aka highjacking.
( the intentional infecting-with-smallpox of the American Indians, by English invaders, was holocausting, just using a different weapon,
The Rape of Nanking, ..
traipse through history & lots of holocausting becomes visible. )
I've no problem with "The Nazi Holocaust of Jews" being a proper-noun,
but when any nation presumes that no others' being genocided, & their genociding-of-others never can be allowed to count, .. that narcissism can go eat rocks.
Read into the Inquisition, & see that it definitely was systematic, it absolutely was at the depopulating-entire-regions scale, 1 German .. town? .. ( as opposed to city? ) iirc, had only 1 female life left, after they came through
( I said female not girl or woman, because I don't remember her age, not because of the "men & females" false-framing habit that many men have, for those wanting to accuse me of meaning what I didn't mean )
No, no nation on this world has exclusive validity, no matter how their scripture tells them that they are the ONLY ones that G-D has chosen.
That applies to all Abrahamic-religion variants, & all other religion's variants, too.
Narcissism is itself, & it isn't inherently-valid.
Objectivity shows that genociding/holocausting has happened MANY times in our recorded & archeologically-discoverable history, & displacing false-framing from our world, displacing disinformation from our world, is REQUIRED, if this-species is to exist after this-century's Great Filter is finished.
Maybe objectivity/integrity's simply too-much to ask, of our species..
If so, then next-century will be silent of humankind.
