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.

The problem is that we shot ourselves in the foot a few years ago and don’t have the power to resist the US that we once had.
Should have gone crying back to the EU instead of the US.
Welk yeah, Brexit was caused by lies and propaganda produced and spread by Rupert Murdoch and Facebook. Done in order to weaken the Union. That's what the Cambridge Analytica leaks revealed. It all makes sense. Paris agreement happens, We are on the Cusp of the green revolution. Big oil pay Murdoch and Big tech to start proliferating propaganda for Brexit and then most militarily ready and one of the only Nuclear Powers in Europe leaves the EU. Further propaganda spreads intolerance creating the far-right which begin to take power in European Countries, further dividing them up. They get Merz elected in Germany because they want to abolish GDPR, so they can further their influence and control on the continent. The bombs dropped on Gaza are made in Kent, British Petroleum and Shell Oil are still buying from Russia. We have had the technology to leave oil and gas behind for 70 years. Coal fire powerplants put more radiation into the atmosphere in a single year than Nuclear reactors will in their entire life span. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Fox, airs the Simpsons, who is the evil billionaire who pollutes the environment non-stop. Mr. Burns, owner of the nuclear plant, even though nuclear power produces less waste and no smog or smoke.
Nuclear waste is depicted as glowing green goo that mutates you. When in reality, they are small compact containers of ceramic glass and concrete encased in steel. This is what a stress test is for one of those containers, just FYI. (Invidious, FOSS frontend for youtube) https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Zv8xnmOHeCE Modern electric cars + Nuclear power, means no more reliance on fossil fuels for energy. That's why Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan and all Right Wing "Influencers" spread climate denial and talk about how dangerous nuclear power is. Because with the amount of energy produced by a modern Thorium Salt nuclear reactor. It would be the end of for profit energy and an end to Big Oil's stranglehold on our planet. Trump knows Global warming is real, he just had seawalls built around his golf course. That's why the war in Ukraine will continue, that's why Gaza will Continue and spread into more Muslim countries. Because war is the only way fossil fuels can continue and the green revolution can be impeded. https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?__goaway_challenge=meta-refresh&__goaway_id=be1d88676e707c1a864529575117cbaf&v=BcoN2bdACGA This is a video by Kyle Hill on a company called Copenhagen Atomics. This will make threatening War with Denmark over Greenland make a lot more sense.
Awesome train vid and comment, thanks :)
The problem is the inability of politicians to understand that you can take a huge decision with a referendum, but you can reverse that decision the same way.
Or that the referendum wasn’t binding so they could have just said that the result wasn’t decisive enough given that the turnout was less than 75%.
Had they done that they’d have been out of government for a decade at least.
Yep! And the question should have been "Do you want us to negotiate the terms so we can have a second, well informed, referendum?"
