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.

And the world will just watch as this campaign of ethnic cleansing continues. I'm sickened
Watching and hoping them quick success, at least for my part. A prolonged war would be the worst thing for everybody except the terrorists.
How do you define success? No more Gaza?
A complete (=utopistic) success would be Hamas being completely destroyed and islamistic extremism discouraged generally. It's not a great fit because of all kinds of differences of these conflicts, but how the Nazis were deposed at the end of WW2 is a great model for how to eradicate fascists.
Israel is pretty fucking fascist though, what's should be done to deal with Israel?
I sometimes wish I could be this disconnected from reality or empathy, or perhaps both. It would likely suck for everyone around me, so, I guess I'll suffer through.
Why do you presume to think I have no empathy or that I would be disconnected from reality?
Because those with empathy wouldnt wish the success of a genocide
Ah, you're still thinking this is a genocide. Then I understand why you would think I lack empathy.
Aren't you saying that you wish Israel could hurry up its process of killing 2.2 million people of which half being children?
What is the limit of this "quick success" you are hoping for?
What the fuck, no. Do people seriously think that that is the goal? What kind of a warped thought process is involved in this?
Yeah normal able minded people don't do this. You need a special kind of people, like leftists
It's a de-facto open air prison, which they have cut off fuel supply to, and now designated about half of it an "evacuation zone". They destroy on average 12 buildings per hour. They've killed 4.4k children since October 7th. What... Exactly do you think is going on there? The defense minister of Israel also said they want to install a new "security regime" in Gaza.
It doesn't take a lot of datapoints over the last 75 years to see where this is going.
You can make guesses based on those numbers that come directly from Hamas... but speaking of datapoints, I don't think this is what genocide looks like: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/state-of-palestine-population/
Perhaps I'm wrong. Those graphs obviously don't include recent developments. We'll see some part of the truth properly in a few months, probably.
When you say you hope for quick success in the ethnic cleansing, people are going to interpret that as you hoping for quick success in the ethnic cleansing
Don’t want wiped off the map? Don’t be a nation ran by terrorists.
What a heartless genocidal ideology you have
No it’s just common sense, I’m not on either side.
If you don’t want to be the victim of genocide it’s probably a good idea to not try and genocide your neighbor. Reap what you sow
https://jewishcurrents.org/a-textbook-case-of-genocide
indeed... you reap what you sow
said like every racial supremacist to have ever existed, if we give the blacks freedom, they will kill the white man!
That is one of the most braindead comparisons I have ever heard. I think the internet has given you brain rot.
same logic of dehumanification and tribalism
So every Palestinian is guilty?
You realise Hamas is like 30 years old and started as a charity backed by Israel? They then seized power after killing their rivals.
Should we murder Innocent chinese people because of the communist party? Wipe them off the earth, demolish their cities and Culture?
As a LIbertarian I can happily say that the Chinese Communist party is like a band of angels compared to Hamas. As repressive governments go, they have done an incredibly low amount of shitty things. So I don't think your comparison quite works.
"As a libertarian" is not the way to start an opinion if you want to be taken seriously.
Most political ideologies have at least one good take. Libertarianism has the "don't allow companies to seize power with regulatory capture" and "whatever the state does is backed by enforced seizure of funds and whatever it enforces it does so with violence" takes, which are both pretty solid, regardless of what you think about economics or if any of the actions of states are positive on their own.
Not that I agree with this guy's rambling take on Hamas at all...
Have you noticed how any mention of libertarianism is instantly met with the 'pedo association' thought terminator?
It was really gaining a lot of popularity as an ideology until around the 2016 elections and trailed off until COVID. But like Occupy WallSt and all ideas dangerous to The State, suddenly anyone who wants to be free to do what they want in their own home (like growing and using entheogens) and not let corporations run the state suddenly equals "they just want to date kids."
Astroturfing works. It's especially effective when you can do it to an entire new generation, all at the same time.
No one here mentioned pedophilia until you brought it up justsayin
No, the commenter who mentioned being libertarian just got -18 votes for a valid and pretty universal opinion, with the next comment being
Funny enough, I recognize the user who's comment I quoted as the poster of one of the most ridiculous shittakes I've seen in recent weeks.
However, pedophilia is typically brought up within 2-3 comments when someone says they're a libertarian. That's not to say it's the only thought terminator people use. Seems now all they need to say is
thought terminated. downvote indiscriminately.
Wow, another good one. You people are amazing.
Some people openly call themselves marxist-leninists in here too so I thought I'd join their "never take what these guys say seriously" club.
Well then I guess it's good people aren't taking you seriously.
If we had a forced and honest age & intellect number by each username, the numbers you'd most commonly see are 13-23 and 80-110.
Don't worry, you're talking with teenagers and college freshmen that know everything on every topic. They can't name 3 aspects of an ideology they claim to represent but that's besides the point. ChatGPT will hallocunate it for them so we can get even more chuckles.
well, considering you are a libertarian, you don't have a good track record of understanding reality
Oh, good one.
look, I can't help that it's an economic ideology based mainly on a few works of fiction that involve "the parasites are the only thing preventing the Übermensch of creating a pepetomobile"
You're thinking of objectivism.
libertarianism is mostly based on economic objectivism.
It's like socialists and socioeconomics.
the primary difference being one based on a dialectic analysis of how economics function, leading to what we consider modern economic theory, and the other based on the fantasies of a deeply traumatized woman.
OK, but Isn'trael is gaining land.
