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.

I know how crazy this sounds, but hear me out. El Salvador is only a staging location, those people will not be sent back to their home country, the real plan here is for Musk to use them to colonize Mars.
Why do I believe this? Because Musk said several times that in his lifetime he will put 1 million people on Mars, and well, he does own a space company and now has enough backing from the Orange Clown to do anything he wants.
But space karen always underdelivers
I fear the plan is darker than that. They will keep sending people in, and El Salvador promises that no one will ever come out (even if they're innocent). If you keep piling people in and never let anyone out, you run out of space unless you find some other way to dispose of people.
El Final (fee-nahl) Solution, so to speak
Yep. Just a couple more steps than pushing people out of planes over the ocean.
It's what Pinochet did, and he was very much admired by Reagan and Thatcher. I certainly wouldn't put it past Trump's people to start doing this.

Did Elon specify dead or alive?
Biomass is biomass.
Sure, if you redefine "Mars" as "that mysterious pile of ash that's inevitably going to appear behind one of these detention centres".
Musk doesn't want to be surrounded by minorities and liberals, even as Martian slaves, he's got robots for that.
Musk wants Mars populated with his rich white buddies and their families.
The rest of us will be slaves here on earth, with the food and goods we produce shipped to Mars.
The people sent to El Salvador will meet the same fates as those in the German concentration camps.
Seems like a helluva Mars plan. I'm all for it.
My only addition is that we'd stop shipping the supplies and cut the comms once they're up there.
i don't really believe that because there's a large number of people who would already want to go to mars. it's not like they're lacking willing participants.
I never got what he was thinking with the colonizing Mars stuff, Northern Ontario is uncolonized (Endless swamps and frozen wasteland but lots of animals and minerals) But you're going to jump to a place you can't even breathe with no natural resources!?!
Antarctica is even more uninhabited and he could build 10 cities there for the same price as one small Mars colony.
And it's warmer, the air is breathable, and only takes a few hours to get to on a plane instead of months in space.
Anything built to survive the surface of Mars would work on Antarctica for a fraction of the cost.
It is a stupid fantasy, what matters is they have fully normalized fascism here in the US
Thank American god! I was getting sick of all these rights :/
