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.
-
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.

PNAT laws increase the severity of all terrorism related prosecutions. They aren't aimed at "incels" in particular.
Hitler, great replacement, and communicating with women, aren't incel traits. That last one in particular.
That's far-right stuff.
Plenty of leftwing incels.
That's a different case like my quote from the article clearly states.
So the anti-terrorism laws have been used before and apply to all terrorism..
My comment is mocking that incel - which basically means single and upset about it, is being made central to the headline.
Just say he's a misogynist. Pretending it's something abnormal for single men to not be having sex just extends the premise of "incels" (the idea that they should be upset about it, or that it's extra).
Yeah they think it's extraordinary to not be having sex when single, so it's women's fault.
When being sexless is the majority of what being single means.
Stop trying to equate incel and singles not having sex.
It's weird and makes no sense.
I'd call your user name "weird", but I'm not one to use social pressures like that, and would rather have conversations where the actual issues and causes are discussed.
I chose my username just as the person this article is referring to chose to be an incel.
You seem deaf to what I'm saying. There are cultural tensions involved. Yes people choose their ethical compliances but those choices are always constrained by cultural, educational, and structural bounds. The cultural messaging of the time.
Before this generation were the first school shooters, before them it was satanic panic related crimes, before them it was the first post WW2 street gangs.
These are all topics that insert violence into cultural frameworks without having the necessary discussions of causes and the messaging around these frameworks.
I'm trying to normalize that singles aren't having sex...
.... because the feeling that young men not having sex is abnormal causes a bad mindset.
To be clear this article is about a self-declared incel who tried to target women.
Get off your soapbox it's not the place for it.
You'll often find discussions in the comments section (also your first comment to me asked me to explain my views).
