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 solution to false masculinity is to replace it with real masculinity. Men who speak well of women, who practice custody of the eyes, who willfully suffer for the good of others, and who do hard things. We used to promote examples of such men but that time seems to have passed.
The overwhelming majority of men think Tate is a dumb twat, it's just that being a regular man doesn't get clicks or attention in the clicks and attention economy
Okay maybe a majority, but "overwhelming majority"? No way. There are a lot of incels in America.
Edit: I somehow managed to forget that the article is about Britain.
I can't really confirm this, even in his target market (young boys) he's not popular
https://yougov.co.uk/society/articles/47419-one-in-six-boys-aged-6-15-have-a-positive-view-of-andrew-tate
1/6 is positive which leaves 5/6 who either don't know, don't care or don't like him.
The older we get the more unfavourable we view Tate
One of my favourites:
Louis Theroux's View Of Andrew Tate
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_4yusHQWm0
It seems 23% of boys aged 13-15 have a positive opinion of him, as opposed to 53% who have a negative opinion. That's a majority who hate him to be sure, but not an overwhelming majority. Also note that support for Andrew Tate is higher among young adults than teenagers who haven't even entered highschool. 27% of British men aged 18-29 have a positive view of Andrew Tates, while 35% agree with "the sort of thing Andrew Tates would say". He's liked by a significant minority of his major audience (male teenagers and young/young-ish adults).
Okay, now how many of those boys were saying they have a "negative opinion" of Tate just because they didn't want to get in trouble with their parents/teachers/etc. for listening to Tate?
I can't look at this graph and say that he is well liked by any demographic
Including this one which suggests if you're 40 or over you either haven't heard of him or hate him
Eww, keep that religious garbage far away from children.
Wow. It takes a special (in a bad way) sort of person to see an article about a guy who died in the place of another person in the Holocaust and go "ew, religion".
Yeah.... it seems to me that one of the problems is actually that we kinda threw organized religion into the trash bin and replaced it with .... nothing. So is it weird that people fill that void with also total garbage?
Perhaps there was a reason why only socities with strong organized religions survived to this point?
Bow down to your god.

Do these real men include all the pedophile priests all over the years? Because for sure those times have not passed and are from way way back.
No.
Doctors who help the less fortunate should be admired but there was a local pediatrician that was arrested for sex crimes against children. Don't emulate him.
That's not hard to understand.
Catholics got a lot of predatory priests for a time because it was one of the few professions where you could explaine away why you weren't interested in adult women. Most abuse was by homosexual men who had an itch for boys. If you look at their share of the population, these men were clearly the primary problem.
They recruited others like them into seminaries and good men were driven away by their behavior.
It took Pope Benedict XVI evicting them from the seminaries to reach an inflection point. But now any pervert can be rather openly perverted and, if they want boys, they'll be more successful as a teacher, coach, or scout leader.
My local public school has had about a dozen arrests of these men in the past ten years. More are hidden in their ranks because everyone is looking at the priest and nobody is looking at the teachers. The problem didn't go away, it just adapted to other professions.
The hivemind seems to really hate you even though they'd probably agree the lack of good male role models is very much a cause of the incel epidemic.
I'm not going to go into details because my english isn't very good and I'm liable to be misinterpreted, but it's not young males in every country who are having these problems. There are countries where the young males are doing great. If you want to understand the issues with young anglo males better look at the countries that don't have these issues and notice what they do differently.
lmao. Grow up.
