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.

MODERATORS
They're waiting until they can throw up their hands and say it's too late to intervene, before declaring that they never supported the genocide they supported.
Too bad the citizens of my country didn't fucking wait for the timeline they want and assumed could demand.... and history will remember the worthless, genocidal war criminals that occupied the halls of power when those halls of power were being DIRECTED by normal every day voters in as clear as possible terms to stand the fuck down and stop the genocide of innocent Palestinians PERIOD... before it keeps spiralling into a much larger hell where there will be many more bodies of Palestinians, Jews and who knows who else will become the next target given the extremely precarious nature of geopolitics at this juncture and how conflicts evolve into larger and larger wars in ways that don't interface with rationality.
There are things worse than death, like spending the last 10 seconds of your life realizing that people will never forget your name as your are enveloped by a sense in the deepest fibers of your being that if there is an afterlife you aren't going to the good part of it.
History may be written by the victors, but the younger generations get to have the last word. We will never forget.
And most of the people who condmned the massactre of the two diplomats are magically no longer there
all this woman did her entire life was raise kids and work in hospital.
im glad US citizens are aware how the IOF use their country's tax money
Quite possibly the worst thing I have read in a long time. The bounds of human cruelty are endless. Truly, we live in hell.
God works in mysterious ways
What a profoundly retarded reply.
Or perhaps a cynical /s?
I'm personally over the /s, if it's not funny, it's not funny. But I'll never sideline my own joke just to give people a heads up, the two most important parts of comedy are timing, and the element of surprise. I'd rather get nuked in the comments.
Except with text, crucial nuance required to convey sarcasm is missing. The /s is the textual representation of that missing non-verbal context.
I think its more a /s of disgust. If God does exist, he is evil.
That's fair. I still suffer every time I see an online misunderstanding though.
Maybe scroll down just a little bit. It's supposed to be retarded. Some of us are retarded enough to know better.
Retarded is believing that God is not evil.
"Think someone could spend half their life in a slam with a horse bit in their mouth and not believe? Think he could start out in some liquor store trash bin with an umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and not believe? Got it all wrong, holy man. I absolutely believe in God... And I absolutely hate the fucker."
We are talking humans here, not unicorns.
I wonder what you would've said if it happened to you!
Or its just cruelty all the way down.
It is. I really do agreed with OP though, I'm pretty convinced this is hell. Look around a bit and it's hard not to think that
I'm pretty convinced this is hell.
War is objectively worse than even the concept of hell. There's a great exchange from the show MASH regarding that exact topic.
I've never even considered this. Checking it out now.
I've always just assumed hell is each persons worst case scenario.
Edit, agreed, but for slightly different reasons.
I’ve always just assumed hell is each persons worst case scenario.
That's fair.
This is cruelty beyond the point of comical, it's fanatical
They get off on it. I'm not joking. I would share videos of it, but there are too many. The hatred is cultural and engrained in society.
In Gaza, it is not only healthcare workers who are targeted. Israel’s aggression goes further, wiping out entire families.” In addition, at least 111 civil defence workers have also been killed. On Thursday, the health ministry reported that at least 53,822 Palestinians - including 16,503 children - have been killed in ongoing Israeli attacks across the blockaded Strip. Among the children killed, 916 were under one year old; 4,365 were aged one to five; 6,101 were between six and 12; and 5,124 were aged 13 to 17. According to the health ministry and the civil defence, thousands more remain missing and are presumed dead beneath the rubble.
Real death toll is 200,000+ I guarantee it.
Charred bodies of doctors families
Get arrested in Germany for calling it a Holocaust.
well I sure am glad gen z and swing voters decided to throw away my future in exchange for putting a stop to this OH WAIT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN, AS ANYONE WITH A SINGLE FUNCTIONING BRAIN CELL COULD HAVE PREDICTED.
Thats what you take away from this? Have some empathy for the people being murdered by your tax dollars, including by your last President, you little Nazi supporting freak.
If anything, Kamala threw your future away because she would support these horrible child-killing maniacs than defeat Trump.
Thats what you take away from this?
Every ... fucking ... thread (that reaches some minimum critical size). People have to go "oh, are you happy not voting for Kamala."
I see it how you do. Kamala would rather throw the election than go against genocide.
If you want to win the country back, you need to unite with this people and get them back on your side.
