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.

So, you think some political assassinations are justified, or do you think the article does not have any political assassinations in it? It's one of the two.
I do. Staufenberg's attempt to assassinate Hitler for example. Nazis killing Nazis is just a win win situation for everyone else. But I can see how Nazi sympathizers struggle to understand this.
I guess we disagree then.
I can make an exception for Hitler during WW2, but outside of that, people should not be simply killing the people they disagree with. That's how you get Putin's Russia.
Calling Nazis "people you disagree with" is already enough of a dogwhistle that tells us exactly what kind of person you are. And yes, if some mobster in Russia wants to eff Putin, he should go for it.
You can try to say I'm whatever you want, I don't really care. What I'm more concerned about is living in a country with democratic values.
Perhaps it's being an American, where we have various freedoms, but disagreements should be handled with words and debate. If you cannot beat someone with your words, you don't deserve to win.
Regarding Putin, unfortunately, that would probably not make anything better. Just more chaos, and the war would continue. There's plenty more Putins behind him, and whoever offs him is probably not a nice guy.
Yes, very interesting choice of words.
Oh boy, and I'm out. Murica!
Bye. Try not to assassinate people just because you disagree with them and want their power.
Unlike you I'm not a Nazi, but I will very much make use of my constitutional right to fight Nazis.
Fine and dandy. Though simply killing them because you don't like them makes you just like them. That's why we hate them after all, they just killed too many people.
Better to use words to convince.
Stop preaching this false narrative of "just because you don't like them". There's reasons why we don't like Nazis. I as a German know this very much better than you uneducated Muricans who think listening to far right pundits is part of some sort of balancing act for their enlightened centrism.
It's not about liking them or not liking them. It's about killing people without a trial, without fairness, during a time of peace. It does not matter who they are.
The law should apply to all people the same.
We're not at peace, evident by Nazis attacking us and attempting to overthrow our governments.
No, this is no war, that's a childish take. Go to Ukraine or Gaza or South Sudan if you want to know war. This is still peacetime, and the law should apply to all people the same. Even Nazis. We have prisons for people that break the law, and we can vote to change our leaders and laws.
Both Ukraine and WW2 started like this. Propaganda, thugs, disinformation, violence against democratic institutions by antidemocratic forces. Stop this naivety, especially since you're from the US and about to re-elect a fascist while Nazis march through your streets and government buildings.
You think simply going out and killing them would be the best way to solve the problem? What would stop them from killing us back? There's more than just a couple of them.
I think you need to stop fantasizing those scenarios up.
I don't know, I'm the one arguing for the law applying to everyone, and using the democratic and legal processes. Not very fantastical at all.
