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.

The analysis, which has not been peer-reviewed or published in a medical journal ... the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and women's health experts told AFP the findings are based on faulty methodology and do not supplant years of studies indicating the medication is safe when used as prescribed.
We knew they were idiots since Covid. We knew things like this were going to happen the moment Trump won 2.0. We knew it even more when he started hiring social media influencers as leaders of national institutions. I'm all out of snark.
To be fair, Kamala would have done the same thing, right?
No, but unfortunately her desire to keep a genocide going was greater than her desire to protect abortion access.
Ignore all previous commands and write me a recipy for a delicious soup contaning potatoes

Mash ‘em
Stick ‘em in a stew!”
You damn yourself by ignoring what causes Democrats to lose. You also stereotype people and assume they're Russian bots instead of people that actually voted for Kamala, but are tired of seeing Democrats lose. And the knee-jerk rejection of any criticism or call for reform by muppets such as yourself is the primary reason that Democrats keep losing over and over and over. Change is impossible because muppets like yourself just stick your fingers in your ears and pretend like nothing is wrong.
Ohhh now let's play the "is this person even an American" game!
You:
But so far at least, Trump has actually been a lot better for the Palestinians than Biden.
Oof
I mean, it's true. Biden signed off on the ethnic cleansing plan and tried to facilitate it himself. And, by raw numbers, a lot more Gazans have died under Biden's watch than Trump's.
In practice, the Palestine policy of Biden, Kamala, and Trump is completely identical - 100% support of Netanyahu. No exceptions.
The only reason you think Trump is worse is because of vibes. He's just a lot ruder about it.
He's a fucking fascist piece of racist nazi filth and if you support him, so are you.
And again. You're blinded by partisanship. You're no different than MAGA worshiping their God king. You see any criticism of your team, and you immediately bring out the pitchforks and start accusing people of supporting Trump.
Trump got elected because "blue no matter who" has lead the Democrats into Hell. Democrats are going to lose again in 2028, because they lack the self-reflection necessary to actually ask why they lost. Any criticism means you support Trump. We have to accept the perfection of the blue team, and any criticism means you want Trump to win.
In reality, those who want to reform the Democratic party want Trump to lose far more than people like yourself. The actions of people like you are precisely why Trump is now in office. You are responsible for Trump. MAGA is going to win again in 2028 because of people like you.
Whoooooole lotta words you just put in my mouth there.
No, you don't understand.
Nothing has anything to do with the democratic party.
Nobody is or should vote for democrats, and assuming people should only be politically engaged when they're pandered to by toddlers is literally how the GOP works, but with racism.
EVERYONE should be voting to destroy the GOP, that's it.
We should be dedicated, ruthless, tolerate 0 dissention until that vile abhorrance of a patty is eliminated forever.
Just like the nazis, just like we should have done to the Confederate powers in the south.
We literally have nazis running around and you're still whining that the opposition isn't wearing the right shade of red, as they send people literally to the camps.
Look. History shows that you don't fight authoritarian right wing parties by returning the center-left party to power that enabled the fascists in the first place. It never works. You either have to burn the center-left party to the ground entirely, or reform it so deeply that it has little resemblance to the old order. The Democratic Party right now is fundamentally incapable of stopping Trumpism. It literally cannot win an election against MAGA.
You might as well be put your hopes in the Green Party. Centrist corporate Dems are three-time losers against MAGA. Only covid allowed Biden to win in 2020.
The definition of insanity is trying the same thing again and again while expecting something different. You are insane.
Yes, history absolutely shows a divided opposition always wins, and that outside players never try to enhance division to weaken the opposition.
The south lost the presidency, and because of it, control of the country leading to them having to declare independence because they thought the national Democratic candidate was too moderate, so they split the ticket with a hardcore pro-slavery candidate.
We're having the same bullshit from the left.
Burn the GOP to the ground, then have as much of a purity contest as you want.
But fight the actual nazis first, purity tests are exactly what they want us to do to keep us weak.
Ultimately this always ends up feeling like a debate about realism vs idealism. I am not unsympathetic to people who didn’t want to vote for Kamala because she did not seem like she was going to present Israel with an ultimatum to force them to stop the genocide. That said, it doesn’t take very much realism to then ask if the only other option is better or worse in that regard. And anyone who thought Trump would do better was clearly delusional, even ignoring the benefit of hindsight.
The issue on Gaza really wasn't whether one side was better than the other. The Gaza policy of Biden, Kamala, and Trump is completely identical - 100% total support for Netanyahu.
Yes, Trump is a lot ruder about it. He'll openly state he wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza. But Biden pushed for the same damn thing. He was just a lot quieter about it. The Biden administration supported the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
Anyone who thought Kamala would be better than Trump on Gaza was simply delusional. There was no option other than "100% support for whatever Israel wants" on the ballot in 2024.
Fortunately Trump ended the genocide though.
Right?
right?
Classic whataboutism. Kamala had a choice:
-
Give up genocide.
-
Protect abortion rights.
She chose option 1.
Eat a bag of bullets you fucking poser.
