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.

As opposed to republicans that elected a 34 count felon, court-certified rapist, pedophile president? Party of law and order, am I right? Be glad that it's shitty, overpriced EVs they're targeting.
You have encountered a magat in the wild. Do not engage.
It's the nazi in the bar story. Gotta call them out and shut them down early, or else they take over the place like they do on reddit.
There is a different view to your statement. We live in a democracy and we had an election where the citizens chose a felon, Nazi, dictator over your side. They would rather have a court certified rapist in charge than you. Just think about that and understand how repulsive and out of touch you have to be for that to happen. This effort to destroy Tesla is only hurting your cause. It is counterproductive, childish, and small. It's almost like you want MAGA to win the next election.
Republicans won because of voter suppression and purging. What you're saying is "Pants on fire" rewriting of history. Also Jan6ers were much, much more violent so I think Democrats are simply trying out their fascism strategy.
Vandalizing Teslas is legal, the precedent was set when Jan6ers were pardoned. So your morality argument is wrong too.
If you need to tell yourself that "they cheated" then you are doing exactly what Republicans did in 2020 making you just like them. Yes the Jan6ers were pardoned but most people do not support it and believe those people should be in prison. Just like the people fire bombing tesla dealerships and charging stations should be in prison.
A strawman, Republicans claimed election fraud (2 + 2 = 5), Democrats claimed voter suppression disproportionately affects them (2 + 2 = 4). What do you think 2 + 2 = ?
You think that violent insurrection against our country by storming the capitol is the same as vandalizing a few cars? How long do you think the sentences should be for each crime? I'd say one is 100x the sentence of the other.
Firebombing car dealerships, charging stations, and violent attacks against people who drive Teslas isn't "vandalization" . 90,000,000 eligible voters didnt vote by choice. They are vocal on why they didn't vote and it's not voter suppression. Keep lying to yourself if you want or just go read about the reasons. It's not a secret.
There are many reasons for an election win or loss. But the big one we care about in 2024 was widespread purging. It's quasilegal, there's evidence of it, it's cheating, and it suppresses Democrat votes much more.
There were 7 billion people who didn't immigrate into the US and thus didn't vote, they were very clear as to why they didn't come to America. That's just as relevant as your 90 million, actually more because it's 100x the people! Don't get me started on extraterrestrials we didn't find, there could be trillions. It was clear the reasons we didn't fund SETI.
"Vandalizing isn't vandalizing". You made no argument here.
"Purging" you mean only allowing eligible voters to vote? It's "quasilegal"? No each state is responsible to maintain updated and correct voter roles. There is nothing controversial about it. You lost the election. People didn't want to vote and they openly spoke about why they didn't. Most didn't like either candidate and didn't want to support either party. You lost the election and no one cheated just like the republicans in 2020.
One such review of evidence of what I'm saying that contradicts your argument:
https://sdvoice.info/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won-here-are-the-numbers/
Too many logical fallacies in your comment to reply without losing your attention span but I'll try.
Eligible voters were removed, the link proves it. Quasilegal because it's a gray area in the law, here's litigation against the practice but only in some states and inconsistently, hence "quasi": https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/mass-purges-are-new-voter-suppression. Not controversial: a strange lie, of course it's controversial, most people don't believe your argument. People didn't want to vote for Trump in China/India, that is more relevant than your argument as I've said before you circled back. No one cheated: false, again.
If that evidence is unconvincing, what evidence would you need to see to convince you? Would any evidence convinced you or do you choose to believe without caring about reality?
Nah, that election was rigged. Try again, Nazi.
Do you?
Assuming there is one
Yes the next election will be in 2026. This is why people question your ability to interpret reality.
Sorry, not American.
In any case I hope I'm wrong
We dibt live in one anymore.
