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.
-
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.

No I do not expect you to show more than they do, but they are not one person, whilst a description of the world might contain a structure of social relations, the notion of nations is a prescription.
You are betraying all of the people who are against the war or are avoiding making themselves into nationalist cogs, your efforts should not be support of sanctions but maintenance of communication with anarchists and growth of horizontal governance both where you are and elsewhere.
There are very few in Russia who are against this war for the right reasons. It is a myth that this is Putin's war and the poor meek Russian people are just going along with it. The vast majority in Russia are chesty thumping nationalists who support the war whole heartedly.
I am betraying no one, I owe nothing to those people, again why do you think I personally owe these people I have never met anything. They were betrayed by their own leadership, stop trying to pass the blame onto me.
I have no hope for any anarchist revolution in Russia since they betrayed Nestor Makhno. Russians only know how to bow down to a strong warlord.
you would betray them if you punish "russians" collecting a group of people and calling them "russians", state members, regardless of self identification is nationalistic, you are the nationalist if that is what you do.
"russians betrayed machno", no it was the bolsheviks, the living bolsheviks alive then, not now
I am ok with being a nationalist if that is what you are describing. I believe the vast majority of the Russian population supports the war and Vladimir Putin. There are very few in Russia opposed to the war and even less doing anything about it. It is impossible to somehow exclude these people from the effects of sanctions so they must live with what their brothers and sisters do in their name and the consequences of this.
You somehow think that I personally owe the "good" Russians something but that Russia does not have to take responsibility for its own past actions? It sounds like you have no moral consistency and make up rules to suit whatever your current agenda is. The Bolsheviks formed and ran the USSR, Russia is the successor state to the USSR. Russia accepted all debts and assets of the former USSR and is its officially recognised successor state. Russia does not get to take credit for all of the USSRs achievements while disowning all of the horrible acts like the Holodomor.
The betrayal of Makhno set anarchism back in order to preserve the vertical power structures the Bolsheviks ended up keeping as part of their "communist" government. The Bolsheviks embody Russian culture that has been present since they gained independence from the Mongols, I suspect the years of subjugation played a part. Endless expansion, lying and betrayal is the culture of Russia. The world will not miss the Russian empire after it collapses.
You do not seem capable of modelling the world in sufficient detail for compassion and you should be nowhere near a violence monopoly.
You use the abstraction of russia to include people who are not self identified russians, this boar headedness is dangerous
Compassion to the degree you are trying to force on me is overrated. The EU is currently experiencing what bleeding heart compassion gets you, uncontrolled migration and a beligerent neighbour who mistakes kindness for weakness. I hope the EU has seen the error in their ways and seems to be waking up to the issue.
I do not understand what you mean when you say I
This statement makes no sense to me. I understand the concept of states having a monopoly on violence within their borders, one could even describe the USA having a near monopoly on global violence. I have never heard the term being used as you have, maybe a loss in translation?
Again more context is necessary to understand who you are talking about, is it the Chechens or the Buryats? Or is it the Bolsheviks I was discussing in the last comment.
If it is the subjugated people's of the Russian empire to which you are referring, they have the option of fighting for their freedom. These people seem more interested in fighting Ukrainians for Putin's gold, they deserve what they get in my view.
