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.

I pray Charlie Kirk is actually alive and it was a psyop just to piss them all off.
This is why I have long since stopped posting anything online with anything even remotely resembling my real name and identity. I don't even use my 'real' email anymore except for official purposes or shit I pay money for. Even my lemmy accounts are made with temporary emails and no matter how much I use them, they are ultimately disposable. Good luck trying to conclusively prove who I am... yeah I might sometimes reveal a little personal information, but broad enough that I could be anybody.
“Charlie Kirk won’t be remembered as a hero,” one of the comments posted on X read. “He was used to astroturf a movement of white nationalist trailer trash!”
That's one of the comments that gets a person deported from the USA? The fascist Republican regime is claiming that such comments celebrate his assassination, which is the same absurd move as calling any sympathy for Palestinians a celebration of Hamas attacks. Charlie Kirk was a far-right white supremacist bigot and provocateur.
Facts get your visa revoked. And this person didn't even criticize the president, it was some nobody Nazi.
This is what a fascist dictatorship looks like.
Your visa has been revoked for incendiary comment! Twice for being a Hamas sympathizer!!! ;-)
"freedom" of speech
Rest in Piss CK.
The illusion of the US is over. They aren’t even bothering to pretend anymore
The illusion of the U.S. being a free country will hold for a while, to those who wish it is true. That's the problem
At that point, anyone who post on Lemmy is probably considered a terrorist. No way I'm ever stepping foot in the US ever again, and I live an hour from the border.
The Orange Turd declaring anti-fascists as terrorist equates to declaring the majority of the population of the world as terrorists... Imbecile... Fascist imbecile...
Ah, and saying "smart people don't like me" and the clueless followers clapping... Priceless!
We are all domestic terrorists
Not if we aren't American.
Charlie Kirk fucked donkeys with his asshole. (Unverified but probably true)
My work has flirted with the idea of me visiting sites in the US a couple of times over my career. Previously I was a bit nervous about the idea of having to go through the whole security theatre bullshit, and I didn't actually need to be there, so I put it off. Now it's an outright no. It seems genuinely like a dangerous place to travel now. Shit's wild looking in from the outside, and they still insist on touting themselves as the land of the free.
Anything involving the fascist regime is dangerous, but most of the country and cities are safe and most people are nice. There are a groups of magats and Ice agents that are worth worrying about however. And if I had the option, I wouldn’t be here.
I absolutely believe that most people are fine. But those lovely people aren't running the air ports or immigration control that I would need to pass through to work there.
Yeah exactly. You’re completely right to refuse to travel here.
We used to have free speech in this country. We had more rights in the 1980s
We had more rights in 2024.
How exactly do they even single these people out and know what’s on their social media?
Because they all live on social media instead of working at their new boring government jobs.
Bullet dodged. Go to Canada guys
Lucky I can say Kirk was a piece of shit in life and his legacy is just shit-tastic in death.
I was going to visit Europe in Dec. Trip got cancelled but I was relieved a little because I was pretty sure I wouldn’t be allowed back in the country tho I’m an American, regardless of the law.
Not that I want to live here anymore, but still.
Realizing I have better rights in an Eastern European country with a fascist prime minister is pretty wild
I don't think I could bear a trip out of the country unless I knew I wasn't coming back.
O say does that star spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free,
And the home of the brave?
The answer is now emphatically, "No."
Charlie Kirk secretly wanted to suck gang member cock
Edit: But he can't now since he was shot through the neck and died. I just wanted to clarify that point a little better
In the nanoseconds after he was shot and turned in to the human fountain did he think "Wow, now I can have two gang member cocks in my throat at the same!"?
Or did he think "warglegarblegarggggguuuufumpfffg"?
If he were able to form any coherent thought, I hope it'd be "Worth it! 2nd Amendment!"
Probably it's the two cocks
What do you mean "or"? It's clearly an and.
