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.

Just so everyone knows what 'reasonable' immigration policies Denmark has that this guy is touting, they're all hardline far-right immigration policies.
Highlights include stealing all valuables from asylum seekers and leaving them with literally fucking nothing to 'justify paying for their stay,' rejecting asylum applicants if their specific area of their country is not actively under attack (because wars NEVER spread to involve other sections of the same country), any municipality with too high of a population of migrants is deemed a ghetto and demolished, the government attempted to house all immigrants on an isolated island whose only other purpose was a centre for contagious animals (I wish I was making this up), etc etc. The UN officially considers Danish immigration policies to be 'incompatible' with human rights, and to disproportionately impact racial and ethnic minorities.
Denmark doesn't have far right parties gaining power on the back of immigration rhetoric because they've already achieved it.
This is just racism, and don't let anyone concern troll you into thinking otherwise.
Denmark's immigration policies aren't some secret, they're actually very transparent and straightforward. You and everybody else can read them on the official Danish websites or get a summary of them on Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Denmark#Features_of_the_present_Danish_asylum_system_(2023)
As you can see, nothing here is racist or far right. This is just bullshit fearmongering on your part. If anything, I would argue that these policies are actually reasonable. Calling the Danish left wing parties far right demonstrates that you're too out of touch for this conversation. Going completely brain dead and blindingly screaming racism at any sort of immigration policy isn't left wing politics, that's just being childish.
You realize you literally just linked a page that verifies everything I said wrong with the Danish system, right? And I didn't call Danish left wing parties far right, I called the immigration policy far-right.
Take your sealioning elsewhere.
