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.

The same thing they're doing in Europe. It's in their fucking manifesto or whatever, they're not even hiding it.
Thanks to all these Americunts, the fascism in Europe is accelerating.
The whole world needs Americunts to get their shit together.
"B-b-buT LoOk aT tHe rIsE oF fAsCiSm iN yOuR own EUrOpe" - Americunts
Yeah, it's rising thanks to the American government and American billionaires funding and encouraging the far-right fascists.
I remember watching brexit thinking "damn they really are that stupid?" only to see Trump elected here shortly after. The fascist slide didn't start here and when it takes over the rest of Europe we'll all be sitting here watching yall "handle it" with all that empty bravado
ETA: Americans are showing up in public in the tens of millions knowing our government and our next door neighbors are well-armed lunatics who would love to exercise their power over us at the drop of a hat. I, too, believed that since 99% of the people I talk to aren't fascists that we'd have the numbers and the resolve to do something, but we're still missing a key ingredient in getting everyone on the same page at the same time
News flash, fascism has been on the rise in Europe since way before Trump. If anything, seeing it accelerate at such an alarming pace in America might give us a warning to change course. If we can get our current spineless, useless politicians out of office, and cut ties with American fascists/capitalists
Your leaders are pussies and have been mostly disappointing in the face of fascism; sucking up to Trump up until the more vivid threats to Greenland, and being almost equally as complicit in letting the Palestinian genocide happen that tipped the domino for delegitimizing international law.
Neoliberalism is what made room for fascism to rise in the US, it'll be what tanks your continent if you do not put pressure on your leaders, elect populist leaders with an actual vision for the future of Europe, and grind those fucking shit-stain Nazis to a fucking dust.
I've never been more embarrassed to be an American, but those of us that knew that Trump was a fucking fascist are the ones organizing against his paramilitary with relentless protests, organizing two general strikes, and winning special elections against the right just this month. The public is getting radicalized and are arming themselves.
And to remind you guys that money isn't everything in an election, there was a special election last year that Musk dumped billions of dollars into, to prop up one of their MAGA hacks because they wanted that district strategically, and they fucking lost. Leftwing Zohoran Mamdani in NYC was also facing against billionaires, but won with a populist campaign and is the most popular politician in the country.
Anyway, US hegemony is over, and you guys have to make it for the better. I grieve our relationship with Europe, but you guys are on your own now and the rest is up to you. Protest your leaders if they suck Trump's cock, elect leaders that are willing to dump US bonds and get rid of the US dollar as the world reserve currency. Get yourself and your people involved in your elections for people that will fight for you. I pray for a better future for the world, even if it means this country will get what it rightfully deserves.
Americunts
So cringe 🤣
I hope you’re as brave as the people over here who have been martyred. We have a feckless opposition party, which basically means that the people are on their own, and we’re up against the most advanced military in the world. Until now, the brown shirts have been terrorizing an entire state. What would you have us do? I voted, I begged and pleaded those around me to not vote for fascism.
I am not defending this hell that 77,302,580 people welcomed in with thunderous applause.
You really need to come up with something better than Americunts though. 🤣
It’s probably best to just let other people grieve, peoples anger towards America right now isn’t unfounded. You and I are aware of the conditions we’re subjected to in this shit hole but I don’t think people in other countries are in the mood to hear about it right now
It’s fair to hate our government, it’s fucking awful. It’s fair to hate the magats, they are all vile, despicable people. It’s not fair to hate the people who are trying to do good, who are trying to kick the fascists out.
Hate the fascists, not the anti-fascists. You can do a lot of damage to the people fighting the regime by lumping us together with the neonazis.
You're asking for non-Americans to observe nuance that isn't relevant to them.
As Americans who despise Trump and have spoken and voted again him for more than a decade now, we will still be collateral damage if war broke out and they dropped bombs on American cities. Some amount of our economic activity still benefits the billionaire donors keeping MAGA in power, and any economic sanctions or boycotts they might impose to hurt MAGA will still hurt us. If we get into a shooting war with them, they will not stop to check the voting history of the soldiers they encounter. That's how conflicts go.
They have no jurisdiction over you to treat you as an individual, or as anything other than an American citizen. And if they cared too much about hurting you, they couldn't do what was necessary to opposed MAGA anyway.
I’m American and you are putting a lot of words in my mouth.
Republicunts?
Maybe it’s because we don’t use the word “cunt”, like at all. So any sort of disparagement that includes “cunt” sounds a bit silly to us (perhaps it’s just me?)
Fair enough, suppose it depends where in the world you are. Australia certainly has a different take on the word.
Sorry that I cannot feel sorry for the Americunts, while they're fucking me in the ass.
The whole world is suffering because of the mess you created.
Are you saying we should do what imperialist Americunts do, invade you and overthrow your government?
No, you elected a convicted rapist, pedophile and war criminal via a legal democratic process.
Only you can fix your own shithole. So please do, because no one else in the world voted for that rapist, yet we are being raped.
Fyi, I'm not blaming you individually.
Also, what would you like to be called instead? Fascist? Nazi? AmeriKKKan?
McFascists?
20 day old account rage-dumping on the only people that can change it for the better, lol. Blocked.
Unblocked to point out that you're such a butthurt little girl you just went and used three alts to downvote every comment I've made in the last three days.
Clearly account age does not inversely correlate to maturity.
Explain again how smart you are? You did it with the same three accounts all in the same half hour like that shit's not public.
But seriously, THANK YOU for letting me know it got to you, and for exposing your alts:

EDITED TO ADD: oh my god, you're even upvoting yourself with all four, lol! Explain to me again how you're anyone's better when you're not even secure enough in what you say to leave your own votes unmanipulated. Damn dude, that is seriously pathetic. I pity you.
Or I just have some friends, unlike your sorry ass living in your mom's basement.
Please shout louder. Makes me happy to see you so miserable and frothing at your mouth
Dude, I'm looking at your post history votes, all your comments you regularly upvote with your own alts.
Tell me about all your friends again, lol.

Ahahahahha, go ahead mister detective, spend a couple of hours analysing my voting, have fun!
Feels nice to live in your head rent free, have you going mad, and wasting your time with all the investigations
Thanks for making my day
Not a native English speaker, are you.
How many languages do you speak?
You've successfully projected all of the problems in the world onto foreigners! Congratulations, and welcome to MAGA!
Let me direct you to the Trump gift shop, you can pick up your merch there.
Last I heard, Trump's own actions were tanking the popularity of his European equivalents across the board. Reform UK for example peaked in the polls about a year ago, and have been dropping ever since.
Are you saying Trump went too fascist even for the European right?
Yeah pretty much
Well how well did it go here in the US when we blamed it all on Russia? The enemy within.
Inflation and inequality drive far right and left politics. Money has been debased with printing, fake wealth in assets masks it for a while.
