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.

Looking at your post history, it seems clear you're trying to make sure trump wins. This is all you do all day long, blame Democrats during election season, for something they aren't in control of. Knowing that trump winning would be worse on this issue mysteriously having zero effect on your message.
I'm stopping Genocide in the most effective way possible, by tanking public support for it.
It's not November yet I'm not sure why you are already defending Joe Biden while he is still perfectly able to stop committing Genocide which would stop him from losing votes to people who oppose Genocide.
Or are you hoping he keeps this Genocide going until November?
Who is this magical candidate who promises to run roughshod over 80+ years of US foreign policy and change the minds of almost every single Congresscritter (and their financial backers)?
spoiler
Absolutely fucking nobody, you're just a GOP shillYou're the only here helping Trump by telling Biden not to stop Genocide.
Ah yes, a complete non-answer. Gotcha, you're dismissed.
Also, good job misrepresenting everything I said. When did I tell him not to stop? I'm just telling your idealist college kid brain that he's simply not going to, whether we like it or not. Nobody is, and nobody realistically can except Bibi. Maybe redirect your efforts where they might actually count, toward Israeli citizens themselves, rather than lashing out where it absolutely will not matter. Assuming you actually give a fuck about Palestinians and are not simply a GOP shill, of course.
Yeah you're certainly stopping genocide alright. Trump has vowed to stop this war, right? Because he totally fucking could anyhow!
Also no one is defending Biden you liar.
What Joe Biden is doing right now is something I would have only expected from Trump. And the defense of it is something I would have only expected from Republicans.
You're not voting for Joe Biden either while he's still supporting Genocide right?
I'm voting strictly for Joe Biden without question because I'm not a fraud who wants Trump as a dictator in office.
This in no way condones what ISRAEL is doing because I'm not willing to lie my ass off and act like Trump or anyone else would be any better at all.
Good luck with your lie campaign though.
If the Genocide stops more power to you. Fully agree.
If the Genocide will still be ongoing then you are in fact condoning israel. Empty words mean nothing.
You are handing the reigns to trump who we all know will be way worse.
Thereby making it obvious that you know you're a liar and don't give a fuck about any Palestinian. You're specifically supporting the opposite of what you're obsessively claiming to want.
Your Lemmy profile is truly fucked. Guessing it's one of several accounts
This guys entire comment history is anti-Biden propaganda. And yet they still think no one is aware of what they’re doing.
Exactly. These turds seem to forget that viewing their profile is a thing
Do quote the part the "weird part of my profile". Is it where I'm copy pasting the same unoriginal But Trump statement only one of us is doing that
Nah you're right, posting every hour for weeks about Biden being solely responsible for Israel's actions is a very normal and healthy thing to do, and is not compulsive lying in the least
Biden is solely responsibly for it and can solely stop it. Why are you pretending that's false?
It's sad that all your arguments condense to "fake news".
That's the thing about "Israel equals Biden". it's too stupid to argue with, and contrary to your belief, that's not a point in your favor.
~ you.
Yes, Biden is the one doing it. Get it through your head.
You cannot fathom someone politically left of you
You cannot fathom basic arithmetic
Ah yes, political candidates are incapable of changing their views to better represent the desires of the people. Obviously the logical conclusion of criticizing Biden is that Trump wins and not that he changes his politics to be more electable to a clear majority the US population.
Lmao
It's been going on before any of us were born, and none of us is directly connected to these events historically, and even those that were have conflicting stories.
Maybe this is all just geopolitical theatre, and we're all amplifying the propaganda. Puppets who will never meet those who pull the strings.
We can stop the Genocide with a choice for Biden to stop Genocide or lose the election. If he still chooses Genocide then we need to put on an entirely different tinfoil hat.
Trump won't bend and neither will his base but the Democrats cannot ignore the progressive who will not be complicit in Genocide.
Maybe the people you vote for are some of the main cast. 🤔
Because all of this noise that you're adding to isn't on a cooldown timer. People will carry their beliefs with them to November.
This guy isn't a trump supporter and the fact that you'd blatantly lie about it says a lot about how twisted you are. Straight up trump style ad hominem gaslighting tactic.
Instead of engaging critics, you Biden cultists just gang up on and bully anyone who criticizes your shitty candidates.
The more I see comments like yours, the more I think about sitting this one out and watching you evil motherfuckers cry in November. It's so pathetic how you'd rather attack people than own Biden's foreign policy decisions. And you act like you're sooo much better than the GOP while you pull the same exact shitty tactics they use.
You're actually threatening to watch trump elected with glee so the idea that you care about Palestinians is laughably hollow.
Boycotting votes for Biden won't do anything because the US government, regardless of what party is in power, is unanimously pro-Israel. Boycotting voting for Biden accomplishes nothing in the face of united MAGA voters.
Not voting for Biden is not a vote for Trump. Telling people they shouldn't vote for someone actively supporting a genocide is not telling them to vote for Trump. If someone does not vote for Biden it is a failing of the Democratic party. A leftist who does not vote for Biden is not effectively giving a vote to Trump because they were never going to vote for either.
The liberal fear of the Republican party and specifically Trump is what allows the Democratic party to move further and further right. The Democratic party will continue to move further and further right until it's only campaign strategy is that they aren't as bad as Republicans. It's already happening
Yes it is, full stop. I'm not having the idiotic argument with you so don't bother.
No it isn't, no matter how much you lie about it, the math doesn't support you in the slightest. A third party vote is equivalent to not voting at all, which is not voting for Trump. Fucking arrogant liar.
Show me your plan to get 51% of the electorate to vote 3rd party and you'd be correct. 51% of the electorate will not vote 3rd party, so you are 100% incorrect. A vote for 3rd party, in reality, is throwing away your vote allowing the candidate who is polling higher a better chance at winning.
Alright well I won't vote for Trump instead, that's basically a vote for Biden
I don't doubt you're stupid. But you understand basic arithmetic. There must be a reason you pretend not to... Gee I wonder why
Maybe I'd understand if you explained it to me, how does not voting for Biden become a vote for Trump but not voting for Trump doesn't become a vote for Biden? If I voted third party would this be a vote for both or against both? Could you write out this arithmetic for me?
Genuinely curious, I don't understand what you're trying to to say. I'm not playing stupid
Any single vote lost for Biden allows the Trump voters (who don't give 2 shits about genocide in Gaza) 1 less vote against their guy, which in turn makes it more likely Trump will win. First Past The Post is a winner take all thing. There's no 2nd place in politics.
Has Biden considered not supporting genocide then? He'd get a lot more votes that way. Politicians should bend to the will of the people not the other way around.
Besides Biden hasn't "lost votes", he just hasn't done anything to earn them other than not be Trump. I wouldn't count a vote he never had as a vote that he lost

Even if Biden does get elected it's just adding a few more years to the clock
Interesting how even when it's spelled out you reject the premise and pivot back to your talking points, regardless of how true the original point is
Trump is polling higher than Biden, so no. Abstaining from voting is the same thing as voting for the more popular candidate. You need to learn how your country's electoral system works.
