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.

Yeah, only we can do that! Like we did, since the 20th century:
Not to mention:
That time we meddled with Ukraine's elections The general plan to stop democratic elections in Latin America
The Banana Republics Where we got so off scot free, there's a chain of stores named after it. It's like if Iraq had a chain of stores called 9/11 Appeal. The Consistent and non-stop murdering of Filipinos who wanted freedom from Spain and America
And this isn't even getting into pre-1990's with Hawaii and the mass genocide of Native Americans, or the internal fucking with elections like COINTELPRO murdering Black Panthers and MLK, and the CIA secretly using network stations and the internet to spread propaganda.
But it's good when we do it, so that makes it okay. Please don't ask use to apologize or forgive debts. We can't even keep a promise with any native american tribes, let alone foreign nations.
Still just whataboutism. Both things can be bad.
Whataboutism is the oldest trick in the troll's handbook. It's so obvious.
Correct, both are bad. It's just the pot calling the kettle black.
That doesn't change the fact that the report is true.
Any more recent or even current examples?
No, we do not have information on what the CIA is currently doing, aside from "bad shit". For some reason, they aren't telling us in advance.
I don't know about you, but I think the Afghan invasion we pulled out of in 2021 is a current example.
How about the time our government tried to coup Bolivia in 2020? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/sep/18/silence-us-backed-coup-evo-morales-bolivia-american-states
And let's not forget our current backing of Israel bombing civilians of the Gaza strip and Palestine, no matter who's in charge of the oval office.
Imagine being so drunk on bullshit that you think the Afghanistan invasion was
A) CIA-led
B) a bad idea
Yes, invading countries is bad. I guess that's a hot take now.
That's kind of an insane take, yes.
I only clicked one link but I strongly support shit like this so idk what your problem is
Providing aid to those fighting communism is always a good thing
Yeah and that's same idea as Russia invading Eastern Europe to stomp on anything they don't want. "Invading to aid in my ideology is good and legal, invading for anything else is bad and a war crime."
America invading to stop communism is bad, the soviets invading to stop capitalism is bad.
No invading to stop communism is good.
South Korea existing is a good thing.
This is the most thorough comment I’ve seen in quite sometime. Even broke out the East Timor. Saved.
