A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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 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.

After the US just straight up ignored international law and walked into a sovereign nation (IRAQ 2001)
North Korea raced to its nuke China started ramping up Military Russia ignored the UN too, and walked into Crimera
The US signaled to the entire global order, that it won't adhere to the rules of the majority.
So what do you think the world will do now that the US just straight up again walked into a country and kidnapped its leader?
The GOP is going to get a huge chunk of you killed.
The GOP is going to get ~~a huge chunk~~ more of you killed.
Disaster relief, healthcare, business regulations, tax breaks. WW3 is just another log on the fire. This new log is just full of leaded gasoline, Coumadin, rusty nails, and TNT.
Did you see the rhetoric about deporting over a quarter of the population of the United States? I think they won't mind exterminating us, instead. (It's just that MAGA cultists are so brainwashed that they think it won't include them personally.)
CBS is a trump mouthpiece now
I just don’t know if or when the world is going to wake up to and do something about the fact that it has a huge United States problem on its hands.
I agree but also
I just don’t know if or when Americans are going to wake up to and do something about the fact that they have a huge fascism problem on their hands.
