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.

I should upvote because Drumpf has, in a very real sense, blood on his hands from his stochastic terrorism, mafioso fascist/rhetoric and policies; I should downote because political violence really doesn't make things better; and yet evil also triumphs when good people do nothing. What to do, what to do...
Will nothing rid us all of this turbulent turd? (Note "nothing", not 'no one')
Idk, I feel better with Kirk dead. Also, he can't keep spreading his hate to millions, so that's better too. Political violence doesn't always makes things better, but sometimes it does, and I think a lack of Trump would be a good thing.
I don't feel better. I'm not white and from now on I'm even more likely to get shot than before. I'm staying inside as much as possible (was already doing that before, now I feel even less wanting to go outside). I heard a US Citizen got yeeted off the streets by ICE while walking in a park. Hell nah, fuck that. I'm rather just watch tv shows in the dark silence of an empty room in my house.
I mean, I don't mourn any deaths, but I'm also not "happy" about it. Rather just have the Bernie wins 2016 Timeline. My head hurts ever time there's a new announcement from the dictator.
I'd argue that with him alive and continuing to spew his hate and calls for violence, that probability would have unfortunately continued to go up. It went up by a bigger margin with his death sure, but it wouldn't have stopped with him not being shot.
That being said, I do feel very bad for you and all those affected.
On one have it's definitely better he's dead, but is that worth what they're gearing up to do?
They were already getting ready to purge their opposition and do multiple genocides, this taking point is entirely worthless.
They've been hearing for something for a while and if not Kirk it would be something else. I don't think that this will actually amount to much more than this weird nationalistic response to the death of a YouTuber.
He had blood on his ear, too
type Heinz 57 blood if i'm not mistaken
