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
Yet, the greens received less votes and were the only party with an anti genocide agenda. Like America, Australia was uncaring at best.
The country gets the representation it voted for.
The greens are a flip flop party who will knock down a decent solution because it's not perfect.
That's what the Australians I know think of them.
Sticking to principles is the opposite of flip plop. I agree, they are not pragmatic, though. However, no other party with a chance at a seat was anti genocide. If they did the same or better, the argument could be made that aussies care. They did worse nationally. Aussies don’t care.
Yes but governments can't make massive changes in legislation easily and small incremental changes over time can achieve the same results.
Like they say, don't let perfection be the enemy of good
Yes, I agree, but they were still the only party that were opposed to genocide and nobody cared enough to vote for them.
So whatever your views of the greens, the voters view of genocide was that it wasn't important.
No, that's wrong.
You can't elect a party on one issue, three entire election is multifaceted you can't try claim because the greens said the were against genocide and no one voted for them it's simply due to that.
The greens could have lost on any of their other policies with their views on genocide being ignored.
Look at America, good old "genocide Joe", lost the election being supposedly pro genocide while trump was going to fix it.
No one is elected on one issue
No, I’m saying that as the only party to be anti genocide, if Australians cared about it as an issue, their votes would have increased, not decreased.
Not based off of one issue.
Yes, based on many. However, that implies that people don't care about the genocide, which is what ive repeatedly said.
If you want to be more precise, they cared about everything else more, which is a different way of saying they don't care about it.
No you're holding it up as a one item agenda, the marijuana party didn't get in either but tons of cunts love weed
No, I'm pointing out, again, about the reduction of votes they got. They are the only party with the potential for seats to support ending genocide. They had less votes and lost seats.
I'm not saying it was their only issue but it clearly wasn't an important issue for Australians based on that.
If it was important to Australians, more would have voted for the greens. Australians either didn't care or supported genocide instead.
It's not like the USA where it was a hold your nose situation. We have preferential voting. If people cared about other issues, they could still preference the greens for their genocide stance, of they deemed it important. they did not.
Be nice if some more people understood that about the US.
Most Americans are checked out.
Sure. Are Australians more checked in?
Yeah... No. The vast majority supported the genocide, either enthusiastically or through lesser evil politics. And no I'm not talking about voting for Harris; I'm talking about the liberal reaction to pro-Palestine protests and Uncommitted.
There was a guy who torture and killed dogs on video a while back. Guy was doxxed as a taxidermist with a house in the outback. Locals hunted him down and burned his house down before the cops could do anything. I don't think anyone was ever charged with a crime.
I don't know what this has to do with this but it feels relevant somehow
yeah, just another weak politician.
i hope he knows he has failed his younger self.
Dutton, or the snake that replaced him, would be pushing for more.
So, yeah, I'm not happy with this answer. But it's still better than the alternative.
Take fucking note, white lily American no-voters.
The US electoral system is utterly fucked. At least voting for a third-party in Aus can make some sort of difference.
I shudder to think what Dutton's response would have been, though.
Nice. "Urge" a little bit more, that's the ticket there mate.
oh, so we are already building teams for ww3... canada + eu vs usa + australia + china + russia + north korea vs middle east - could get tough though
