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. 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.

I guess it's time for all the "protest voters" to either admit they never gave a shit about Palestine or admit they fell for Russian propaganda.
Of course that's if they remember about Palestine. A shiny red ball might have rolled past and distracted them.
@generalemergency,
Dnc centrists who wouldnt let any possible supporters of Palestinians into the democratic party convention are the real unsung heros here, right?
Do your posts like this one make you feel better about yourself? Thats why you're posting isnt it. You told yourself you 'held your nose' while voting but you didnt really hold your nose at all. You were happy to drop every semblence of basic human morality and dignity in order to win-- and then you lost anyway.. Now you're angry at those on your own side who didnt shit their own bed and roll around in it like you did.
To win at all in the future and reclaim the demographic losses, the dems need to admit that what was done in Plaestine was wrong. They need to admit Biden and Harris both were not doing their job and not representing the working class, but were simply chasing corporate and special interest campaign dollars. If the party can do that it might survive. Otherwise its probably dead, becuase No one thinks the democrats stand for anything, and the rage evident at the elites related to Luigi's prosecution is increasingly the response toward out of touch dem leaders. No one supports corporatists so get your shit together.
It's funny you think there will be legitimate elections in 4 years. I mean Republicans are already pushing ways to give Trump a third term. So like, congrats on having Gaza screwed even harder while simultaneously throwing away any semblance of democracy?
At least the corporate corrupt Dems gave a small window for changing things democratically while not screwing over Trans people in the USA as well.
By abstaining you allowed the greater evil to prevail, not prevented any evil from occuring.
Well, at least you can whine about how other people voted, and that'll make you feel better, I guess.
Nah, but I can live with knowing I at least tried to stop literal Nazis from gaining absolute power.
Can you say the same?
Do you think Musk wouldn't pay Democrat to get what he wanted? He literally manage to get his wealth while 2 Democrat presidents held office.
I believe he just change teams because it was expected after Biden left the race.
I do believe he knew before it is official that Biden would drop and Trump assassination attempt and moment was clear that he will get the same votes as before so he diced to get favor early.
Some timeline:
Trump assassination attempt was on July 13, 2024
Public Musk endorsement was on the same day.
Biden left the race on July 21, 2024
I do believe that while he might not be publicly a Nazi he will get what he need throughout Democrat president based on his history.
That you still say he's not publicly a Nazi says everything.
While worded clumsily, I believe they were trying to say "had a Democrat become president, he would continue 'hiding his power level'"
(Uhh, my guy, he likes nazis...)
Thanks for finishing the genocide, Biden was getting tired and your support for Trump is really gonna help israel out.
It's genuinely saddening to see you're still here parroting these lines after the bots have long since packed up and gone home.
The party with the best option to beat trump is still walking around with no future because it has its head up its own arse. They cant admit that abandoning the working class and embracing zionist murder for some campaign cash is going to keep them from winning in the future. And Hasbara is still paying its trolls, clearly.
What makes you think bots left? They are probably low cost to run once theyve been set up. By bots maybe you mean the opinions you dont like dont post as much? Yeah everyone feels defeated and hopeless. Most of my friends wont read the news anymore. I dont blame them.
It's very obvious to everyone that Palestinians are much worse off now.
Except to the Palestinians who aren't being massacred like they were for the ceasefire. Pretty common for Democrats to say things like this though... what was it that Biden said, "You ain't black unless you vote for me!"
The guy you're responding to never said that. You've discredited your entire comment in the first sentence and there's no reason to even bother reading the rest of whatever you wrote.
My dood, it is a two party system. Both parties sucked shit when it came to this issue, and the DNC lost votes due to this fact (as one side seems to like some genocide anyway). This issue across both awful parties is implied in the first post and is countered in the "discredited" comment, you know with the whole "held your nose" line. Guess you did not read that far....
You don't have to agree with the statement, but if you read that "discredited" comment you would see both of you; Know the worse party of the two won, and more importantly one of you seems to have an idea on how not to have the same thing happen again.
My dood, when he opens with a flat out lie about what the guy he's responding to said, I'm not going to bother reading the rest of it. I thought that I made that pretty clear. So trying to have a discussion about the rest of what he had to say isn't going to be very productive.
Yes, it's a two party system and both sucked on this issue. But one sucks a whole fucking lot more on it and also sucks on literally every other issue there is. And I'm not going to coddle a bunch of people who can't see that.
My dood, I am telling you they did not open with a flat out lie about the comment they are replying to. They are making a point you don't like, sure! But no where was there a lie about what people said, just inferences made.
Like cool, you dislike what was said, but spending more time defending your stance of not reading then just reading and downvoting is wild and silly.
By your comment, should we assume you're the ones who thought that a known racist and islamophobe with ties with Israel would be the best option for Palestinians?
Well, Palestine won't exist in the next election cycle. What lies will you trust next?
I guess some people aren't ready to admit their mistakes.
The irony of you losers high handing people. You lot lost this last election.
Who do you think you are? You're right down here in the mud with the rest of us. The party brand is in absolute tatters and trust in it has never been lower. Heck of a job. And then you try to lecture people? Its absurd.
If you voted for genocide...that was a mistake.
I didn't vote for genocide. What did you do?
One of two people was going to win this election and unless you voted for the other one, you helped elect Trump.
It wasn't inaction. I voted for Jill Stein.
So you didn't do anything to avoid a Trump presidency. That's inaction.
No, Kamala helped Trump:

Those 29% are fucking idiots. Trump is making things worse exactly like everyone with an IQ above room temperature said he would.
Undecided voter to Democrats... "Why do you support genocide?" Democrats, "Listen here you fucking idiot. I hope you get cancer for questioning us. Do as we say you fascist! You ain't black if you don't vote for us."
Yes we get it, you just made sure the literal Nazis got power and gave Israel the means to 100% Speedrun the genocide.
Do you feel ok about that in the context of what's about to happen in Palestine?
Do I feel okay about voting for an anti-genocide candidate? Of course. Why wouldn't I?
The question is: why are so many people okay voting for a pro-genocide candidate?
We shouldn't even be having this conversation. No Democratic candidate should be supporting genocide. Ever. And nobody should be defending her!
Because you've enabled Trump to grind palestinians into the dust.
Who do you think Palestinians wanted to win the election?
We did it Patrick! We saved Palestine!
Stop trolling
You're country is sending gopnik prisoners and NK detainees to die in the icy heart of Ukraine, prick.
It's time for people to understand that the blue and red party in america are the same shit and voting someone else or not supporting the government is the only way to make a change.
Voting for one of the clowns that got <1,000,000 votes isn't going to accomplish anything.
I wonder if 1M other people just like you are saying that.
Even an extra million split between the greens, libertarians, socialist workers, etc isn't significant compared to the 70+million that the Democrats and Republicans each get.
Then don't support the government and think about another solution.
What was Biden or Kamala gonna do that woulda been better than this?
You keep asking like you WANT to know, but that's just you sealioning like a good .ml chud.
We all know what you're doing and you're detracting from any sentiment people outside your echochamber can form on your group.
Personally I don't enjoy genocide supporters so I'm going to tell you to fuck all the way off. You could suck start a shotgun for all I care 💁
