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.

oh i see that, i had a NAVAJO professor in college once, he was a very angry person in general and he stated it stems from that same "Decimation of 400 years" and would express towards the students making him somewhat ineffective instructor.
Yeah you guys got a really shit deal, and the really unforgivable part is that you're still getting more shit deals even today. I'm a descendant of the colonizers, but I'm willing to help get rid of any of the ones who perpetuate these shit deals and don't think you guys absolutely deserve to be in charge around here. I mean, I'll go too, if you want, but I'm just putting it out there that I'd also be delighted to try to learn from and live in a society run by potentially actually wise elders instead of greedy old white men. Maybe someday we'll get to give it a try.
Dances with wolves me bro, I'll help.
What is crazy is this was actually a huge problem for frontier settlements. Tonnes of people would meet the indigenous population, be exposed to their society, learn enough of their language to communicate, and then go "fuck this" to all the European culture and just move in with the locals. They brought whatever skills they had including metalworking and so on and joined up and for the most part it went really really well for them, until the westerners came and killed everyone. Behind The Bastards had a great episode a few years ago about it, through the lens of one particular bastard, and yeah, faced with a culture where individuals were not exploited for every last shilling of value to the shareholders people wanted out.
Yo same.
A full on economic embargo on the US would be a nice push, but the EU is too damn dependent (and swerving to the right as of late).
The Greenlanders and Danes should export those hats into the USA.
We in the US do not wear red hats anymore... Excepting those who are completely fucked in the head.
My dad got a red ballcap, and I told him he probably shouldn't wear it outside lest people think the wrong thing about him. Nobody wants to encourage the loonies.
On the plus side, I've haven't seen a red hat in well over a year in a county he slightly won.
This is great, but maga idiots can't read. They are gonna think you're on their side.
let me look up how to say "make greenland great again" in west greenlandic
Kalaallit Nunaat angerlaneqarpoq ajunnginnersaatitaasarlugu
that might be hard to fit on a hat
Hmm, maybe try east greenlandic?

American here. Those of us with more than 2 brain cells are sorry that the Dunning-Krueger effect which elected and fuels the Orange Jackass is bringing our insanity to your doorstep. Almost nobody here wants your country but there's literally nothing we can do because the Orange Jackass controls all the tanks.
the ones that have already left the country.
You guys are going to have to do something in order to take care of your problem.

there’s literally nothing we can do
I wouldn't say "literally" though.
Here's a tip: start with ICE.
Can I buy one and ship it to the US? Only a small fraction of us actually like Trump. The rest of the numbers are blown up by the media to seem bigger than they are, then another chunk didn't even vote at all.
Those who didn't vote in the 2024 election are equally culpable to the Trumpoids in my eyes. It was very clear what Trump stood for, yet they didn't bother to go out and vote against fascism.
My favorites are the ones who claimed they couldn't vote for a genocide.
Now they have three genocides and two invasions.
i feel like the ones that dint vote, and voted for rfk or stein are republicans that dont are "embarrsed' the other group is the totally "this has no effect on me now"
I guess they didn't pay heed to what John Morley stated more than 100 years ago:
"Politics is a field where the choice lies constantly between two blunders."
It's not make-a-wish. Most of the time, you have to vote for the lesser evil.
Especially when Harris, as VP, supported investigating Israel so they could shut down the rule forcing them to supply arms to Israel.
It's my opinion that she only reversed course to get campaign donations. Looking at her voting history she was the closest to Sanders out of everyone.
Seems to me very likely that Harris would have been an above average president.
But sadly Americans chose the fascist psycho over Harris, because they didn't think Harris was left wing enough, or that she didn't support the Palestinians enough.
The logic being: I'd rather be killed by a fascist psycho than not be helped as much as I want by a way more moderate person, that isn't actively supporting killing me.
the real reason is "sexism, and racism" even those that dont initially support voting republicans they have those biases in them, but arnt as flagrant about it, because of where they live is unacceptable. as a poc you can tell when people are changed thier body language over a POC vs a white person when interacting with them.

That's too much logical thought.
Much closer to "woman not like me bad, man like me good" than anything else.
Non-white and woman surely counted as well in some circles.

Only a small fraction of us actually like Trump.
Bullshit, he got half the votes, and those that didn't vote didn't dislike him enough to prevent his election.
So Americans like Trump plenty, until he does something that hurts them personally.
If you really believe your own comment, you are delusional.
alot of its based on sexism, they dint like trump enough but dislike women in charge evenmore.
