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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

So, militarily-enforced "regime-change" is going to happen in Venezuela, for Trump's regime's satisfaction.
But will militarily-enforced "regime-change" be tolerated when Trump proves "reluctant" to relinquish power, when he disallows the 2028 elections?
Of course not!
2-facedness is shameless, nowadays.
Too bad it's on humankind to do the enforcing-of-correction: the cost is going to be .. close to 99% of the human population, it looks like, throughout the rest of this century, given how bad the balance-of-power ( between corruption vs integrity ) is..
shrug
99% gone or 100% gone: those look to be the only actual possibilities, for next-century, now: corruption's eradicated integrity from sooo much of the world, that it really is the vast-majority position, now.
"Majority-rule" means integrity/justice cannot rule: the 2 "centers" are mutually-exclusive.
So long as herd-style majority-rule outranks integrity, then .. integrity has no right to rule.
Integrity's breaking corruption-majority from ruling, including oligarchy, dictatorship-backed-by-obedient-"votes", etc, would be minority-but-upright rule, which is .. prohibited, by majority-rule, isn't it?
shrug
Natural-selection'll decide, & Universe'll keep the accounting-books accurate.
Universe doesn't "need" our species to live: our assumed entitlement has no power over universe, & it never had any.
If we won't grow-up, then .. our world's remains will serve as a warning to others, of the consequences of indulging-in-toddler-mentality while having global-scale militaries.
Which is a socially-"valid" choice, obviously..
The herd-beasts who lie broken & dying at the bottom of a cliff they just stampeded off of .. their "going along with the herd's opinion" is every bit as valid as humankind's doing the same thing.

Yeah it is pretty fucked up. I want to throw up everytime I hear a conservative say the President has a mandate.
Last time I checked no one voted for Miller, a white supremacist, to be running the country. Didn't we used to vet people to prevent this kind of shit.
What fucking mandate!? 90% of deported people don't have a violent record. It was all big fat fucking lie so we can all live out Miller's KKK fantasy.
Repeat after me, no one voted for this shit show. Stop blaming the victims and start messaging the fucking truth.
