News and information from Europe πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to any of the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].

Lmfao. This sparks joy. I hope these fuckers realize just how much of the rest of the world fucking hates them.

It might be weird to fuck a couch, but at least he's not an actual rapist like his boss.

Must have saw the gif i sent them

I don't understand how the Danes haven't treated these American incursions as outright military threats nor have they imposed sanctions.

Dear random Nuukians,

Thank you Greenlanders! Saved our government more wasteful money than DOGE.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 month ago (1 children)

God, they're so desperate for the smallest possible propaganda win to spin into something big. They really aren't update to date on what goes on outside their own backyard.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

In Denmark they had to bribe homeless people

The fact that maga can't seem to understand that no one likes them just baffles me.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

But the Orange said that they were winning? Everyone loves winners, right?

What do you mean with martial law on 20. April.... Truly a win!

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They have as they say on the street got high on their own supply or as I say in my brain supped from the coolaid cup

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Go Greenland!!! This makes me so happy.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Did they try entering unannounced into a donut shop with rolling cameras?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Okay, good. You know, whatever makes sense.

Remember the egg door-to-door begging?

Remember the egg door-to-door begging?

This was like days ago, and yet is phrased like it was from the last trump presidency.
And both could be true

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would've said yes and then fucked up their propaganda piece

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They would have spun it into something positive, either by editing or insincere language.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Yep. Trying to make a difference from inside like that is a slippery slope, and rarely works. It's basically what every previously mainstream Republican politician is telling themselves they're doing.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago

Guess they got ICEd out, eh?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 month ago

At last some good news for Today! Good job Greenland. Show them they are not welcomed. I am proud of you!

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What did they expect, after Cheetolini threatened to annex Greenland? Open arms?!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes. They expected to be heralded as saviors. That's how they think.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cheetolini ..... I'll have to add that to the list

My favorite has been Mango Mussolini for a while

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Tangerine Palpatine has been mine.

[–] [email protected] 256 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That's hilarious. 100% of the contacted population told them to fuck off. This is the definition of persona nongrata.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

And it’s not even official, that’s the best part. Their customs was like β€œsure I guess. It’s legal” and yet everyone was like β€œnope”.

Is this another one of those β€œillegal boycotts” I’ve been hearing about? 🀣

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I really hope most of those good folks told those assholes to fuck off in the rudest terms.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They did it in Dutch as an extra fu.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Fokkof, doos!

[–] [email protected] 129 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It must be hard being a Republican and having to defend such pathetic losers.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's (somehow) the libs' fault, so it's all good

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I mean...

Edit: bad joke that didn't land

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Ouch! It just landed on me!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

My sincerest apologies
