A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Working with the russians at Russian Today (a known propagandist channel) is not a crime, but it shows everything you need to know about Assange.
Assange is a piece of shit hypocrite. He was more into the aesthetic qualities of being an "anti-US contrarian" as opposed to a journalist (real journalists don't work at Russia Today) or a human rights activist (Assange definitely doesn't care about the millions whose lives were ruined by the russians).
If assange wanted everyones support, he shouldnt have made his outlet so crazily right wing.
It started out more neutral, but when you do things like not release the RNC emails after releasing DNC emails, then youre agenda is clear and youre not the "pure source of information" or whatever he thought he was
Well, to be fair, his biggest leak was probably about the Iraq war, which was an RNC adventure. Though as time went on, it did seem that he started to align with Kremlin social media campaigns.
It's impossible to tell if this was because he always was working with them as sources or if he was driven to Russia as an out due to being hunted by the west.
You don't seem to care about the millions lives ruined by american imperialism. Zelensky is also defending Israel but i do not wish anything bad to ukranian, russian and israelis civilians
Tell me about your actions in saving these Russian lives you care so deeply about?
This isn't the brilliant clapback you imagine it to be
What does this even mean?
My country is being invaded by the russians for 10 years now, the vast majority of them are genocidal imperialists. Why should I care about them?
Assange doesn't care about victims of US imperialism. It's all grandstanding and attempts to manipulate useful idiot types. He didn't even bother to remove PII of people under risk during his "disclosures".
US does a lot of bad things, but they are not fundamentally evil.
Everything done by the Russians has always been about killing, torture and genocide.
Show me one example of russians doing something positive. Even WW2 that they fetishize, they originally collaborated with the Nazis to split up Europe.
As an American I will say that we are a fundamentally evil country. Our people are mostly not evil, but our governmental system does immeasurable evil to people in this country and across the world.
You don't know what you are talking about.
How many languages do you speak? Which countries have you lived in and for how long?
Can you name 5 bullet points about russian history in the 20th century?
Provide one example of Russia's positive contribution in the global sphere. Three example w.r.t. USA are Japan, Germany and South Korea.
American government being fundamentally evil doesn’t mean Russian government isn’t even more* fundamentally evil (which it is)
No, the US gov is not fundamentally evil.
They definitely do bad things, but not every single action of the US is bad.
Every action (every single one) done by the russians is evil.
That is an overly simplistic view. Russian government has done good things, It funds healthcare for it’s citizens.
Now don’t get me wrong Russian government is fundamentally evil. But governments are much too complex to only do good or evil things. Every single government has done both many good and evil things.
I was referring to broader geopolitics. Specifically leadership by US in Germany, Japan and South Korea are strong success stories. Can you provide a similar example for russia?
What do you know about the evolution of healthcare under putin in the last 25 years? Can you make a factual statement about the evolution of russian healthcare without searching? Or is this a sophomoric attempt at rhetoric?
grow up.
Please, you live in a sheltered environment, you know very little about the world and you're telling me to grow up?
How many languages do you speak? How many countries have you lived in for more than 12 months? How many continents?
The whole Assange piece is for lazy, internet edgelords. Assange is a right wing shill that collaborates with the russians; he his whole human rights thing is a ruse.
would these numbers make any difference to the way you communicate with people?
Oh no Kremlin anti anti propaganda mudding the waters or some other stupid shit.
No, the US gov is not fundamentally evil.
Or just the school of the Americas
Oh, the old whataboutism but turned around! How interesting.
pretty sure when this mofo released classified information,there are innocent people who died because of his act.
i am all for disclosure but this guy's an ass and needs to be held accountable.

I would suggest to do your own research and look into independent sources.
This are just smears and propaganda used against him, by the duopoly and legacy media, so as to make him look like the bogeyman.
Trumps almost in office his pardon will soon be ready meaning he wont be coming to the us
There was one time, not long ago, when Trump couldve released him.
But as the rest, what he did, Trum did shit.
