What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. No social media posts
Avoid all social media posts. Try searching for a source that has a written article or transcription on the subject.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.

Americans think everything that happens in their country is “global news.”
11 day old account, probably a bot
Yeah I would also shun someone who turned me into the FBI...
Ted was right
Eh kind of. We read his manifesto in my reading club and there’s a lot of issues and psychosis there. But there are ideas there worth merit.
I read it in highschool when it was released and thought it had some interesting ideas, but you know all the problems...then I read it as an adult and think he kinda was throwing off incel vibes.
I vaguely remember hearing about the unibomber when I was only 9 or 10 in 95/96 sometime, and I never read it myself; this thread has me wondering what the jist of it was.
An-prim Luddite stuff.
With a bit of editing his manifesto would have mass appeal
If you take out all the incel, racist, and fascist shit.
Or leave it in. You seem to like it just fine as is.
