I guess we are getting set up for the "good versus evil" part of the world's development. Everybody's drawing lines.

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.

My theory of the United States Of America being a vassal state of Israel just keeps getting stronger...
I'm totally unrelated news, several months ago the US stated they will start automatic draft registration in December 2026 and earlier this month Israel said they are having an issue conscripting enough people to fight in the military.

Didn’t men age 18 have to manually enroll in selective service anyways? I know I had to.
It will now be automatic with no choice to refuse
To be fair refusing was basically a non option prior too.
Why didn’t anybody tell me I had a choice to refuse :( no matter, I outside the selection range (for now).
I think you can't get a license or register to vote or something.
You could always refuse. It just carried enough penalties to ruin your life if you did.
Tbf this is mostly just a change in paperwork procedure, it was already required for all males of 18 years to register for the draft. They couldn't actually use it even if they wanted to, one way or another. Nobody would show up, or vanishingly few fools would.
Please draft me and give me access to munitions lmfao
Sometimes the real journalism is found in the comments.
Good way to breed more antisemitism
Fuck if I care though not my yamulke not my problem
That's not how this works. We all stand together or we all fall together.
There's a lot of people who have no faith in their neighbours anymore and have accepted that the war is lost. "We all stand together or we all fall together." is not the motivating statement you think it is to someone who is just looking for an exit at this point.
It's not meant to motivate or demotivate it's a fact of human existence. I don't care if you have hope (but you must) I care that you fight.
Hope for... what exactly. Be specific. "Hope" is just a meaningless shibboleth unless you define what for. Who are you asking to fight with you and what are you asking them to fight for, because the number of causes worth the effort is rapidly vanishing. Apathy may be one of the seven deadly sins, but there's been too many rug-pulls now for anyone to have much faith that they're not being taken advantage of again.
Seems to be working fine though
Well, there isn't exactly a lot left to integrate.
