A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Writer says for many years he has refused to use word but now must ‘with immense pain and with a broken heart’
Yeah, I wouldn't like to work with fucking MS Word either...
Joke aside, I hope he isn't getting suicided for speaking the truth
I was wrong. Apparently it's a different Grossman. Glad to hear more people speaking out about the genocide in Gaza.
~~Fuck this dude. He is right about this though. Broken clock and all that.~~
~~His 'On Killing' and 'Killology' bullshit he pushes has fundamentally push the US police toward a more fascist mindset. I first found out about when I was in the military and I thought some of his ideas were out there. Then I watch a Jon Oliver episode about how the police scooped up his training to teach their force. He has a very us vs them mentality.~~
I know because I have functional eyes and ears.
Yes. And it's still vital people like him speak up. The narrative that those who can see reality must actually be antisemities is working on a lot of people.
lol I’m Jewish but yeah.
You could be an Othodox Rabbi with degrees in European and middle eastern history. Bibi would still call you antisemitic, you see his will is Gods will, he is the... Oh, wait. I see the problem.
People throughout history worship the elites or those in power rather than helping the masses.
I haven't seen anything as inconsequential as someone being Jewish stop them from getting accused of antisemitism over calling out the genocide in Gaza unfortunately.
Was gonna make a joke about a man giving a gross summary, but nah, this is serious.
I’m glad some people on the inside are speaking out, the real momentum of this is the overwhelming support of the Israeli people.
David is right. They are.
Lemmy poster Erusuoyera says pope is catholic.
Note that this is not the same person as "Dave Grossman", the asshole that does the warrior cop training.
Oh shit....thanks I'll delete my post then. I kinda assumed it was the same one.
I was thinking about Tom cruises Tropical Thunder role, but that was less gross man
They are going to take him out.
So is everyone else that isn't directly tied to the state of Israel. About time you joined the party, eh.
