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.

Yes, you have lots of guns and bombs and you're very big and strong. But the Pope was offering a moral criticism. You know, about morality, doing the right thing. Have you or your "Christian" colleagues ever heard of it? Turns out it doesn't often align with who is most eager and equipped to kill anyone who looks at them the wrong way. Even Jesus (heard of him?) had a thing or two to say about that.
It's funny:
The end-times prophecies are clear-as-day, now, & they WHO ARE WALKING INTO IT are ignoring the consequences??
Here's the 1st-Seal thing, with the Time of Conquering, & the Conqueror ( Trump's ONLY addiction )
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+6%3A1-2&version=CJB
& here's the prophecy about Trump's "mortal head wound" & pending "miracle cure"..
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+13%3A3&version=CJB
The funny part?
IF their 2nd Coming appears .. he'd be war-incarnate against them ( the guy-on-white-horse-with-double-edged-blade-of-Cutting-True-Speech-projecting-from-his-mouth ), fighting "the beast", which they hold to be "lord"..
they don't even know their own prophecies.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+19%3A11-15&version=CJB
THAT guy would be the LAST thing those abomination-loyal ones would want to see coming into our world!
( caveat: John of Patmos was filtering everything through his unconscious-mind, so the distortions are .. kinda rampant. Jung & I both experienced the same kind of distortions, in our VISION-dreams. I've no idea if that King of Kings guy is 1st-Seal, aka The Great Filter's 1st Yang Stage, XOR if it's later in humankind's "cell-division", splitting between the murder-life-for-authority's-lordhood kind & the LivingSpirit-loyal kind, the WAR stage, which should begin in 7-ish years, after the Regional Consolidation Time is finished, or if it's in the 3rd stage, the no-food-chain-left stage, where people are living off of greenhouses like Silent Running ( movie ) had, but on Earth..
The fundamental point, though, is that anybody doing what Hegseth's doing, to bring the 2nd Coming .. pouring "blood and destruction" into the world .. is warring against that guy in the 3rd biblical-reference, above. )
Interesting Times!

PS: I'm calling this pope Good Pope Leo, because from what I can see, he is: & I'm not Catholic.

PPS: I just read the beginning of that chapter, & it looks-like that's the stuff for the 2070's, NOT for this end of "the tribulation"/"armageddon"/The Great Filter, so .. no point in getting our hopes up.
