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.

Imagine if the IDF soldiers just stopped committing war crimes. Imagine if legacy media companies didn’t tie themselves in knots trying to protect and defend Israeli war criminals. This timeline needs more vigilantes since the corrupt systems only work to protect the ruling class, despite their crimes.
I'm gonna go off on a bit of an unrelated rant here, but can we quit with the fucking "this timeline" shit, please? There is ONE timeline. You live in it. There wasn't some Marvel movie multiverse bullshit where we suddenly shifted into some "dark" timeline. There is THIS ONE REALITY which has a past that we can learn from, and a future that we are responsible for.
Imagine if the US said no thanks Israel, stopped selling it arms, giving it hardworking american peoples taxes and put a stop to AIPACs political corruption
That’s pretty hard to imagine
If you're not going to do it, don't expect anyone else to. Go be a hero or stop praying for miracles.
I’m sure a supporter of vigilantism would also be looking for good opportunities to act as such.
Have you seen Clerks? It's an older Kevin Smith film and there's a lot of memorable lines in it, one that's stuck with me though is "shit or get off the pot", also "salsa shark" but that's unrelated as I'm not dipping tortilla chips right now.
I've done and still do what I can activism wise, my gripe has been with people being ignorant to the devestating climate collapse and resource depletion in our near future, and trying to mitigate the suffering by warning people against having kids.
I support activism and think if people have identified a 'thing that needs to be done' they should either do it, or stop endlessly talking about how someone else should.
Fighting corruption with corruption seems not wise
There has never in human history been a systemic change without violence. Every single shift in power away from the ruling class to the people has required bloodshed.
This is just a blatant lie.
You always see the biggest cowards advocating for violence from the their couch. Bunch of shit talkers who never walk the walk.
On my planet we back up claims with evidence
No I didn’t lol, you’re mistaking me for the other person. Just chill out
Oh well I just assumed. In that case why are you asking the second person in the thread that made an unsubstantiated claim to answer for it but not the first?
After you then mate.
