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.

I don't play.
And I will most definitely call out Nazis who roleplay as victims online and don't speak other languages.
I know what the term "tankie" actually means and also how right-wingers use it to discredit anything opposing their little völkisch fantasies. I asked you specifically, how you define it, because you throw it around everywhere and you make that outgroup (them, the others) out to be responsible for all the bad things in your world. So much so, that you end up yapping like a lunatic two seconds before stroking out.
Which you are, a little Ukrainian nationalist lunatic with a hate for everything slightly pointing towards anything associated with your Russian neighbour, ... like the endangerment of the Ukrainian national identity. But sadly, that's all you've got, it's everything that defines you as a person.
But the reality is, the Ukrainians are forced to kill their Russian brothers and sisters and the Russians are forced to kill their Ukrainian brothers and sisters. You are the same, working class people. You are not fighting for your country or your Ukrainian blood, you are being consumed by the capitalist, imperialist war machine. You fucking idiot, snap out of it, the enemy is not at the other end of the field.
You delegitimise leftist thought by claiming they'd only be roleplaying. Conveniently, when you do that, you have a basis to then go on to tell us, that they are just lying and are evil for deceiving us like that. And since they're evil, they're roaches and need to be exterminated. Convenient thought process. Interestingly, they're so clever to deceive us, but also so very deranged, huh.
You are a dumb Nazi, the sooner you realise that, the sooner you can heal.
Step 1: Don't be a Nazi.
Step 2: Punch up, not sideways or down.
Typical tankie world salad.
At least come with some new copytext! You think I haven't seen this gibberish before?
Everyone I don't like is a Nazi!
It is reasonable to call an individual who lectures Ukrainians (without knowing Ukrainian or ever having lived here) that "you are brothers with the russians" a degenerate roach.
Your attitude shows that you lack humanity.
Your attitude shows the lack of solidarity with your equals and the lack of actual humanity by consistently using dehumanizing language.
Nah man, not everyone, you specifically.
If you keep being confronted with these kinds of accusations, maybe stop and wonder: Why does this keep happening? And no, it’s not because the people that bring forth those accusations are degenerate roaches.
The real irony is we both know tankies regularly use the term roaches and call for death over the stupidest things (with fantasies about killing posters with ice picks).
Some degenerates claiming that "everything I don't like is a BIA conspiracy!!!" are not my (are anyone's) equals.
No, we do not both know that. I don’t even know why you yap about Serbia‘s security information agency. You‘re in fantasy land again.
Prove to me that this is what “tankies” say, like in a way that shows „that‘s representative of tankies“, because you are the one accusing a whole group, that you deem to be a roaches. You can’t, because you make this shit up. Liar.
But either way, that also would never excuse your own hate speech. You don’t even reject me labeling you a Nazi or fascist, because you’re proud of it, but you are also a freaking coward, without the courage to openly say it, because it would get you in trouble. Coward.
You also failed to prove that these journalists are “supporting Russian genocidal imperialism”, but you do repeatedly delegitimize and dehumanize journalists that don’t follow your narrative. You know who does that? Facsists do.
Now... why would that be? :´)
Sure, he be mad. But his national identity is all he’s got, it’s how he defines himself, how he gets his self worth. Normal people don’t screech around the internet, how everyone are cockroaches and degenerates, if they only so much as try to formulate an opinion other than ‘Slava Ukraina’. That’s still hate speech.
We don’t tolerate this shit with Russians, nor Palestinians, sometimes we do with Israelis, but sane people don’t.
You don’t need to tolerate or excuse national extremism, to show support and solidarity with the people being forced to fight and die in a war.
I think their nationalism is a response to lemmy users showing a lack of solidarity with Ukrainian people being forced to fight and die in a war of Imperial agression. For example if that war is called 'complicated' or an 'NATO proxy war'.
If that would be the case, then I’d suggest to them to lay down the phone, go outside and touch some grass.
Their nationalism emerging through lemmy commentary is what I would call a hot take.
They’re not forced to engage in political discussion on the internet, that they have trouble to process emotionally and they are also not forced to participate in hate-based communities, neither are they forced to use hate speech in general.
This user is notoriously using hate speech and counterfactual fabrications. I appreciate you trying to explain their behavior in an effort to show solidarity with what the Ukrainian people are enduring, but I’d also caution you, not to find excuses for right-wing extremists.
lol why are you victim blaming ukraine?
Nice one, stalker. Please, show me the part where I do that and explain to me, how that's victim blaming.
Also, you are coming to the defense of the guy you reluctantly banned for, let me check, five whole days from your little nazi bar for repeately using dehumanizing hate speech, only after weeks during which you did not act on it, although you were confronted with it several times. You are the Bartender of a nazi bar, gj.
you tend to call everyone you don't like as a nazi.
You failed to elaborate on the victim blaming thing you just mentioned.
Also, I only called Skiluros a nazi, do you have problems with reading comprehension? You are merely a bartender — but do you identify as a nazi?
so he's a nazi for dehumanising language? which mind you is not allowed on my community, hence his ban
Not just, but also. Anyway, if he wasn't, I'm sure he'd be able to put forth some kind of coherent argument against that ... himself, bartender.
