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.

We're moving towards doing the same thing to the US up here in Canada.
Just shit you gotta do when you're dealing with fascists. Sorry, we can't hurt Fox News without hurting all of NY. Things are gonna be shit when fsacists are running things where you live.
Except it's NOWHERE near the same thing.
Palestine isn't allowed to produce electricity itself or import it from anywhere else, so if Israel cuts off the electricity that means no electricity.
Without electricity, Palestine has no clean water to drink or with which to water crops. This combined with Israel blocking aid, having partially or completely destroyed most if not all hospitals and killed most healthcare workers, guarantees that the already atrocious ongoing humanitarian catastrophe is going to get MUCH worse.
The majority of the population wasn't even BORN (let alone old enough to vote) the last time an election was allowed.
Plus nobody is murdering, displacing, and otherwise ethnically cleansing the population of New York.
You're basically comparing apples and Orange County.
Isn't that what ICE is doing right now?
Is ICE run by the Canadian government?
Spoiler for M Knight Shyamalan's upcoming political thriller Capitol Hill Has Ayes.
This type of whataboutism makes you look silly
Canada is genociding Americans? Must have missed that in my border state.
Fuckk off with your bullshit.
When did Canada put a concentration camp wall around the US and blockade their sea and air?
Remind me when Canada occupied New York again?
During the war 1812 after the US attacked first, and even then only a little bit of rural northern New York.
That's an insanely brain dead statement. Did you take a drill to your temple earlier? If you did, you should finish and drill deeper.
How else am I supposed to get the demons out?
Your inability to read is pretty obvious.
Weird how everyone is insulting him but nobody is rebutting him.
Almost like he has a point, but the mob mentality isn't allowed to acknowledge it so you just tar and feather him.
What is there to rebute? My guy basically shit on the floor and said, argue against that. Chances are, it's just your alt account.
If this isn't a troll may I suggest taking a critical reasoning course or two?
They've been at it for awhile so probably incapable of passing that type of course :(

"Someone says something I really don't like but I can't argue against, so I'm just going to claim they're trolling."
nope that isn't it at all it's just your reasoning doesn't follow any logic it's completely divorced for reality.
I'm not trying to be incendiary however to improve as a person it might do you well
Yeah, couldn't imagine a world where you came clean about your shitty tactics.
consider for a moment that America is the aggressor in all these situations and have been attacking our sovereignty. we have no other choice than to respond in kind. we didn't start this fight.
also consider that I've respected you every step of the way and you've been disrespectful
I'm referring to you calling the other guy a troll just because he "said something you really don’t like but can’t argue against."
Telling me reality isn't reality is very disrespectful. It's the same thing you did when you told him he's trolling. Rather than present rational arguments, you say "I'm objectively right because you're a troll or that's divorced from reality."
Come on man, use your words. Don't be afraid. Or are you just trolling?
no, you've assumed i can't because i refused to argue.
there are times when people arguments are so divorced from the actual facts that it is better not to engage. this was one of those times.
arguing with someone only works when that person is making those points in good faith which this person wasn't.
they liken two entirely different situations they said points which were categorically untrue and then they tied it up with whataboutism.
so I say again I think they could use a critical reasoning course
Sorry bro, I didn't read any of this.
I'm just kinda tired of dealing with people like you.
Gonna block ya now.
America is evil tho
But Israel are the fascists in this scenario, yet they are doing the electricity curtailment...
Canada are the supposed "good guys", and they are refusing electricity trading with the fascist Americans, not the other way around
Definitely Skateparkge on this one
