A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Is it just me or is drawing out a supreme court ruling like the results episode of a tv talent show a really weird way to deal with an attempted coup?
It is but I'm not sure it's a bad thing.
Brazil showing its third world theocratic shithole neighbor up north how it's done.
Don't forget South Korea
Venezuela isn't theocratic.
You didn't have to do France wrong like this
Brazil’s government is in better shape than the US government is.
Can you name a Government that is in worse shape?
NK is basically a monarchy...
Russia might be, but that bar is lower than the Mariana Trench tbh..
Russia is dogwalking the US. They are a cancerous blight on humanity but they are better run than the US.
Before anyone finds a hint of respect for russia in here know there is none, greedy orcs rape and murder for someone else's yacht money when they could have been a first world silicon leader. Most naturally resourceful country on earth, too cowardly to make the necessary changes to their society to excel.
Most other governments are, at this point
Way better shape. The police actually arrested the traitors on the day they did the treason. What a novel fucking concept.
i'm so jealous of south korea and brazil rn
You know what helps? A populace willing to protest.
The US public has been protesting pretty much non stop since the 60s.
Their politicians have responded not by addressing the grievances of the people, but by increasingly criminalizing nonviolent protest to the point that it's often classified as literal terrorism.
To call the US system a representative democracy is naive to the point of being downright farcical and has been for several decades.
Yeah, imagine having a real, functioning government.
Must be nice. As an American millennial, sadly not something I ever really got to experience.
Bar low enough to trip over
Suck it, Yemen and Eritrea!
I mean, the mere fact that you have to reach for two of the most poverty stricken and lacking in natural resources countries in the world to compare with literally the richest country in this world in both money and natural resources is in itself pretty damn indicative of the failure of the US system to guard from giving the incompetent and the thoroughly corrupt all of the power.
Well, yeah, that was definitely part of my thinking. But also the humanitarian abuses.
One is pretty much guaranteed to vote in favour of Bolsonaro, but a majority to condemn him is pretty much set. It's only a matter of time.
By Friday Brazilians will be drinking and partying.
what's the available punishments? Death? Life in prison?
The maximum appears to be a prison sentence of 43 years.
Neither are possible punishments in Brazil
They are in some extreme cases, but needs to be a lot more extreme than simply trying to destroy the country.
No, death penalty doesn't exist here, neither does life in jail since sentences are capped
The Paulista is going to be great!
Man, I wish I could be there, celebrate twice as hard for me.
Being unfamiliar with Brazilian judicial procedures I'm curious why the judges release their verdict at different times. Is there a reason for that?
One of the judge's verdict today lasted like 5 hours. There are just that many crimes.
So each Supreme justice is trying different cases then? They arent acting as a body?
They are all judging the same case. They just took a long time explaining the reasoning behind the decision.
Well then I'm still confused as to why it's staggered.
Each judge comes to their own verdict. They're all ready, but given the exceptional case before them it takes a while to go through each of their verdicts.
Wow, never thought this could be possible! Respect to the Brazilian Government for this. I hope the US will have similar trial for Jan. 6.
Me too! We won’t though.
Couldn't happen to a better piece of shit
