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.

Lol keep sucking that flaccid PP.
Appreciate you solidifying one of the many reasons why I didn’t vote liberal.
The key reasons being that you're a selfish, ignorant, gun-nut loser.
But sure, add "people are mean to me when I advertise that I'm a shithead" to the list. Your thin-skin is pretty standard for Conservatives.
Conservatives?? Your liberal government removed minimum sentencing for reoffending criminals and then complained about the increase in crime.
But yes, let’s target licensed hunters and sports shooters because it’s clearly their fault. Obviously PAL holders receiving daily background checks was not enough.
God, you Conservative gun-nuts are the pinnacle of cringe.
In case anyone else is thinking of blindly parroting this spoonfed talking point, you should know that

Further solidifying my previous statement.
Perhaps instead of hurling insults the second someone opposes you, have a constructive conversation? Lmao
"I turned Conservative because of a mean comment online"
What a self-own.
Why, so you can ignore it?
I didn’t ignore it, read it, gave it a +1 and moved on. I didn’t disagree with their comment so any input made by me would have be unnecessary.
Everyone has the right to their own opinion.
I turned conservative when every liberal became radically defensive over the smallest issues.
Good lord, that's such bullshit. If you agreed with what they said, then you wouldn't be out here still supporting the Cons. They even directly asked you a question, which you ignored. Stop lying.
Yeah, fucking human rights getting in the way of the important things like shooting muh little guns.
Conservatives are the absolute champions at bitching and complaining about non-issues. Go shoot your guns at some Bud Light, loser.
You’re out here calling me nuts yet I can feel the anger through your text, I will never understand why y’all preach acceptance then turn around and pull this.
Again I didn’t feel it necessary to add anymore input, I’m not forced to respond like how you aren’t forced to respond.
Fixed that for you.
While I support the gay, bi and trans folks the entire 2021 Liberal campaign was solely that, I would argue and say it was a non-issue before they brought attention to it.
Classic fake pearl-clutching nonsense. I have never preached accepting hateful ideologies.
Of course you're not forced to respond. Just don't pretend you're looking for "constructive conversation" when you are just going to ignore it (or far more likely, aren't capable of engaging in it).
Why am I not surprised that you turned it into a LARP fantasy. So fucking cringe.
Let's be clear -- you actively and publicly oppose them when you advocate to vote Conservative. PP is vocally anti-trans-rights.
Yeah, it was much easier to just keep them in the margins so you didn't have to think about them. That's certainly true.
Not surprising though, its a studied fact that right-leaning people are more self-centered on average.
So why did you vote conservative? Was it simply "I don't want liberal" or do you actually like their policies? (Genuine question I'm not trying to insult you)
Before I applied for my RPAL/PAL I cared very little about politics, once the government started banning a hobby I actually enjoyed is when it pushed me to register and vote.
While I support a good handful of liberal policies the whole situation felt like their focus (especially when it comes to crime) was in the complete wrong direction.
The housing market hasn’t gotten any better in the last 4 years, Canada is continuously growing but yet our homeless population is ridiculously high. Having coked out fentanyl zombies roam our streets is also something I highly disagree with.
Also as seen in my other comments from my experience liberals can’t handle someone opposing their ideas, while i admit, I see a lot of hate towards the LGBTQ+/BLM folks you simply can’t force everyone to like who you are.
I can go on longer but my break is about to end so I’ll leave this here. Thank you for responding respectfully.
So from this statement, what I'm hearing you say is that hating on LGBTQ and racialized folks is okay just because they're existing and asking to be "liked". Is that right? They should expect that people will hate them and try to take their rights away and they should just shut up and accept that?
To put it in another perspective, if I saw someone who looked like you and was open about their love for guns, and I made the assumption that because of the gun, they are a violent criminal, then would it be okay for me to be outwardly hateful towards you? Would it be okay for me to try to ban you from going to the gun range just because I think that makes you a violent criminal? Would you just accept that?
Do you see the parallels?
Based on the gun comments, you clearly understand what it's like to feel like your rights are being stripped from you. So do you think it's fair for you to minimize the feelings of others who feel the same, and who are acting out to defend themselves in the same way that you are?
To address your other comment, I completely agree that the liberals didn't do enough to address homelessness, but I also strongly believe that incarcerating people who are struggling with mental health/substance issues is not the answer and will only lead to higher cost for taxpayers to put and keep those people in jail.
I don't expect you to answer to any of this, btw. Just food for thought. I'm always interested to see why "the other side" thinks the way they do.
Annnnnd ignoring the genuine discussion, just like before.
You're so disgustingly disingenuous.
