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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Sorry, but that argument doesn't hold water anymore. We gave you guys the benefit of the doubt for his first term, but this time you knew exactly what you were getting, and you allowed him back anyway. 32% of the eligibile population voting for him is not just some small minority.
Last time he didn't win the popular vote, so there was some consolation to be taken. This time we really don't have an excuse.
the signs/evidence of rigging was also more obvious this time around too. the DNC shills know, they just dont want thier money train to end if they supported an investigation or wanted harris to win. the old guard DNC benefits much more when GOP wins, because they get those same donor dollars that the gop does. and only allowed to ' fix things" once in awhile.
you know....elections can be rigged, right?
I wonder how the Germans that fought against fascism felt when people spit on them and called the Nazis?
The vast majority didn't fight Trump's return. The vast majority still aren't fighting.
I'm guessing that the Poles didn't give a fuck about German feelings after WWII, and no one gives a fuck about your feelings now. Until something more than hand wringing on the internet is done, expect the negativity to continue.
US population is largely pacified by propaganda over decades.
I don't know exactly who you are talking about, but I did everything I could. Unfortunately I am not a fucking billionaire so my efforts don't hit as hard. That said, I actually couldn't believe the results of the election. I think there are a lot of people didn't expect this outcome. I mean it was hard to imagine re-electing a person who actually lost their reelection bid before, and that person is one of the most caustic and evil people to ever hold office. It was unprecedented.
You would condemn the 30% that voted against him, the non voters, not to mention the children, just for the crimes of a minority, however multitious?
children cant vote lol, we arnt counting children as voters dummy.
The children? No.
The dead weight "opposition" that does nothing but complain online? Yes. Blood is in your hands too.
Just to be clear, which do you condemn more? Those who voted for Democrats or third party, or those who refused to vote altogether?
I think this is a pretty pointless distinction, but sure, here's a convenient nine-year-old ready list for your reference, ordered best to worse:
A person actively protesting, sabotaging and working politically against the current administration > A crusty sock I've forgotten I've left behind my bed after a gym session > Person voting for a democrat > Person not voting > Person voting for a Republican > Person voting for Donald Trump > Hitler
Is it not possible that the capitalist system we work under makes it very difficult for many people to protest, either through working them so hard that they have no energy, or no time, or makes it harder for them to get work or even keep their jobs to survive if they openly oppose the establishment, eg on social media?
Are these oppressed people truly worse in your eyes than a crusty sock?
When was history ever easy? What exactly did you expect, to induce change by tweeting angrily? Is the difficulty more important than the lives being lost?
Either way, not sure how that's an answer to my comment. There are a thousand different ways to fight that aren't simply sharing a perfectly rehearsed AOC rebuttal that is precisely long enough to make for a viral TikTok video designed by a PR team and then feeling like you're different. You are not. Voting for a party is not the end of your civic duties, nor does it make you opposition if that's the end of your actions.
Depends on who they voted for.
Depends on their actions now.
A worker got fired from Ford for having more courage than most. Hopefully gofundme will unblock all his donations.
