If Europe survived Napolean they'll survive a syphillitic dementia patient from a country that is less than a quarter of it's age.

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.

sigh
One of Trump's fundamental-backers, either the Kremlin or Epstein, can't remember which,
identified that he consistently used the tactic of ACCUSING OTHERS OF WHAT HE WAS THE ONE DOING.
TRUMP is enforcing civilizational erasure!!
Everybody's paying attention to the "makeup", & ignoring the malevolent "boar" underneath!

Americans desperately trying to hold onto a past in the hope that nothing changes is so on brand.
They are busy fucking up their own civilization trying to "save" it.
The Nazis in the US Government are referring to the fictional "white genocide" or "great replacement". But the actual threat to European civilization is the USA funding fascist movements across the continent.
Facts.
It’s always projection with the US…
"Civilizational erasure"
Europeans, you want to see erasure, come over here and drive through half the abandoned small towns in Oklahoma or Mississippi, where one rich asshole decided to move the business overseas and then the entire town fucking died. (I took the no tolls route to Dallas last year for a roller derby tournament, very eye opening.)
I hate these stupid, Nazi dog whistles, even more so when they're coming from a Cuban toadie that Donald's people would throw in a death camp in a second if they thought they could get away with it.
As a native of DFW I'm curious what you mean by this.
Clover Cup is an annual national roller derby tournament run by the Dallas Derby Devils every March. It's great fun. Go support them and enjoy some games. :)
I used to be a derby skater but now I announce and travel for tournaments sometimes.
That whole "civilizational erasure" quote was so vague, grand and threatening that it sounded just like it came straight out of kremlin. It's the kind of bullshit declaration russians love to make
The US and Russia are way more similar than either country is willing to admit
If only they'd get a room and leave the rest of us alone.
The "destruction of civilization" is what the US regime is pursuing: Not only is it doing everything in its power to reverse all civilizational progress in its own country, but it is led by an organge-colored rapist whose only ambition is to enrich himself and protect himself and his degenerate co-conspirators from prosecution for the most repulsive crimes imaginable.
A transatlantic alliance with such monsters, who are even openly threatening a war of aggression against Greenland because they can't think of anything better than such an idiotic bluff?
GTFO!
We're NOT Palestine STUPIDS!
-Europe!
