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.

Maybe we should put the prosecutors to death instead.
Best way to honor Luigi would be to keep killing rich people.
It needs to become a tiktok trend.
Storm the Bastille
Obligatory, I do not condone violence per lemmys rules, or whatever.
Agreed. This might be the only method to save us. Rule of law doesn't work, we are owned by the billionaire class. Bring out the guillotines for these bootlickers. Might be the only way we get free.
Free Luigi.
Fuck this aryan Pam bondi cunt and these prosecutors.
Oh, we're not supposed to condone violence against monsters who hurt others for greed here either? Well, dang. What if I do though?
Think of the lemmy.world mods!!!!
This should like... just not be a rule though. Why can't we wish for violence against evil people? Who is coming after the Lemmy instances if users wish for violence against evil people? It's not like we're actively organizing simply by saying we like imagining healthcare CEOs having their brains removed via bullet. And boy how do I!
Eh it's issues with l.w mods being overall cowards.
I mean they'll maybe ban you lol
Works for me. I'm over wasting my time on platforms where I'm not allowed to praise the great man Luigi for his wonderful deeds and wish for more like them. Because that's how I honestly feel and I won't apologize for it! I can't hide who I am anymore.
Edit: whoops. Wrong thread but same idea. Hah.
Honestly we shouldn't discount the possibility that Luigi is innocent or that there was planted evidence
Then may the true assassin do some more good work out there and clear his name...
Or the victim had a run in with the actual clients who now frame the left for it and kill two birds with one stone that way.
Tinfoil hat off
I'm still waiting for people to get mad enough to use drones for political violence. Like shit, Ukraine can make an effective FPV for like 50 USD from what I've seen
Imagine if Luigi dropped a grenade on this dude while just sitting in Central Park.
It's gonna be a good time.
Drone warfare is politically agnostic. If it can be used by a Luigi against a healthcare CEO, it can be used by far-right extremists against progressive politicians, pride parades, or Black churches. I'm not very jazzed to live in the world of Slaughterbots.
Not to mention, the minute it happens, the government will carpet the skies with observation drones in the name of safety
Maybe, but honestly there isn't too much a need for them to thanks to the existence of things like TLO. Maybe for surveillance over less developed areas?
Idk I'm not happy about any of this but it's interesting to speculate what a modern day cyberpunk is going to look like.
That's fair, there's other angles of observation made available already.
Seeing as you like speculating about cyberpunk, how about if observation is just the initial way to way to sell the drone cloud? Depending on how cheap you can make them, there's an argument to made for reducing time-to-intercept for low-speed aerial objects.
If you've got a bunch of drones overhead already, you could run one in to the path of a kamikaze drone, or if your swarm is even lightly armed, you can extend engagement range and reduce required accuracy with a single buckshot shell to shoot an offending drone down.
If you're content to prioritize executive safety over public saftey, there's a lot that can be done.
Drone displays terrify me.
This isn't something I've ever considered, I hate it! 🤣 Essentially a light weight, personal, iron dome. Considering the great lengths Putin goes through to protect himself from his own military, I could see the mango and friends doing this.
Hell imagine if they made the drone cloud then took Israel's "Gospel", slapped that into them and create a full blown Big brother. Sure it just recommends targets now, but with more training from two fascist states it could become something much worse.
I hate this timeline.
I feel with that interpretation, any weapon is politically agnostic. Which I'd agree with given the use of firearms by far right extremists to shoot up Walmarts, clubs, and churches. They've already been using weapons against their "adversaries" like the domestic terrorists they are.
But agreed, I'm not actually excited about it. The premise is horrifying. I do hope the good guys pull the trigger first on this one. It's, in my opinion, the logical next step.
I kind of hope that will have the bonus effect of making the ownership class ease up on return-to-office. Sure, have your executive meeting in-person. Oh shit, someone flew a drone in and it exploded, shooting nails everywhere and killing half the c-suite? Shit. Anyway. We'll be working from home until at least they clear the blood out of the carpets.
(Though realistically, they'd make workers go in physically while being remote themselves. But maybe someone will bomb their house. No mercy for the ultra-rich.)
I haven’t heard anything about people buying drones. The gun ranges have been packed though.
Technically it’s not a rule of Lemmy but the instance rules that forbid this.
We are indeed owned by the billionaire class. It’s their country. We live in it.
*We are granted the privilege of surviving in it
Ftfy
maybe
Evidently this researcher found that peaceful resistance movements have been more successful in bringing democratic governments in their nations against tyranny than violent ones that usually instilled more extreme governments.

That’s neither a funny joke nor a serious idea of any worth.
