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.

It's not a matter of far right/left anymore, it's just autocracy vs democracy (for what it matter).
When Russia and China are togheter, and USA are getting closer to them, then they're really really close to dictate the new world order.
But autocracy is right and democracy is left.
The left wants more democracy (in the workplace, for tennants, for women etc).
The right wants more authoritarianism.
100% of the time people are trying to tell me right and left don't matter, they are right-wing shit heads.
In a democracy it matter, but in a dictatorship it's pretty useless.
The choice of being a slave in China or Russia it's a matter of nothing, they're friend for a reason.
You mean russia and murican puppets? Then looks like China trying to stay neutral for both sides, for economic reasons (at least rus; these reasons don't apply to murica anymore).
Righties for most over the world align with putin and autocracy, while left align with european point of view. It is totally left vs right visions of world.
I don't talk about the people, I talk about who's in charge.
Russia is fascist, China communist but they are working along without problem. Iran is a teocracy, but still works fine with thenther two as well. Now India and Us are getting there too.
Anne Appelbaum depict the situation in Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World.
An example. What Dugin designed for the Russian future is actually a crossover between communism and nazism, thought Russians celebrate the victory over the nazis. One day they are red, the other brown. They made a soup of bullshits so they have something to say to the people.
