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.
-
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.

Farage's Britain is similar-enough to Trump's America that it's "golden", but it's still less-collapsed than the US, so it's preferable, right??
England's monarchism, its class-religion ( rooted in monarchism, so it's short-term irremoveable ), & its framing-games ( Brexit was a result of 1 such ) make it the most-similar to the US, except for the "patriotism" indoctrination that is normal in schools in the US..
it's a "good" fit
it'll have consequences for England, of course, as all population-composition-changes do..
..helping Farage's mission..
You can transplant the body, even the life, but you aren't changing the religion, & the US's religion PRODUCED the US's current-condition, exactly the same as all our countries are in the process of distilling our own national-corruption-essences into authority-institutions, as quickly as we can, because we haven't got spine-enough to filter-out DarkTriad from authority, in ANY of our countries..
Note the numbers, though: nearly 9k asking citizenship in the UK from the US..
https://blog.hireahelper.com/2025-texas-migration-report/ over 0.26-MILLION moved to texas in the year before 2025-Oct.
Yes, the drasticness of the change is different, but when you've got nearly 2 orders of magnitude difference between the opportunism vs the fleeing, then you're seeing significant evidence of national-nature.
As a US citizen told me, years ago: "you're welcome in Texas only as long as you're leaving: don't try settling there, no matter where you're from, you AREN'T welcome there", & over the years that has become more & more validated.
Use 'em & lose 'em, right?
I "wonder" if that paradigm, in-play for workers from other-states, also is in-play for immigrant farm-workers??

That the people with-means are escaping, is natural:
aren't the oligarchs making certain that they've got their isolation, their coddling, & their security, including bunkers, ready & operating, for the butchering-down of the "masses"?
Why wouldn't we who can afford to leave impending-hell zones do-so, with our families?
It's the same principle..
We aren't as causing-of-the-problem as the oligarchs are, but we're still accommodating of the root-problem, & saving ourselves, leaving others to eat the coming atrocities, same as always..
That woke socialist convict, the root-guru of the Christians, Yesua benJoseph, he got in there with the people who were about-to-be-stoned-to-death, with the convicts, with the crushed, the destitute, etc, & fought for their-validity & their-rights..
No wonder he was exterminated by the privilege-conservatives of his time.
( he was conservative-of-LivingWorth, conservative-of-LivingPotential, & conservative-of-LivingOpportunity, so pretending, as the privilege-conservatives do, that THEY ALONE "own" the meaning of "conservative" is false, & always has been: they just conserve different things.
As a delightful Jewish mind on a TLC TV-show, last-century or so, identified: when benJoseph got violent on the commercial-operation of the Temple, that was an incredibly Jewish thing to do! .. he was being conservative, just of the essence of Judaism, instead of its forms .. & that difference is important.
All the false-framing in the world isn't going to go-away for no reason: it has to be force-displaced! )

Farage holds no office and his party has 8 MPs. Almost half of them hadn't run as Reform candidates, but instead jumped ship from the Conservatives. By comparison, Labour has 404 MPs. The fasc-friendly media would love to market Reform's success in 2028 as inevitable, but it's just as likely that they'll do well in the 2026 mid-terms (which are for local government positions), then fall on their faces in 2028 once people see how fanatical and incompetent they are when they're in office.
Also, there's a (small) chance that Labour will unwedge its collective head and pass much-needed laws reforming foreign funding of election campaigns and transparency of party donations. If they do so, Farage will be fucked.
