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.

Oh look, criticizing biden and showing him we meant business in the primaries actually worked.
Like its supposed to, All you fucking mouth breathing fucktards that were out there crying "DONT BE MEAN TO BIDY IT MAKE TRUMPY STRONK"
Now if he follows up stopping weapon deliveries to Israel, it'd be perfect.
My write in vote for "Palestinian Genocide Victims" for the democratic presidential nominee worked. You're welcome everyone.
The crazy part to me is how there's all this focus on the obligations of progressives and leftists to compromise while ignoring the supposed reason why. If Biden would lose support for cutting off weapon shipments that means there are people who voted for Biden in 2020 but refuse to do so in 2024 because they want to support genocide.
Those are the people who deserve the lectures, shame and endless repetition of the "vote blue no matter who" mantra. Those people are not holding up their end of the bargain. They demand compromise yet yield nothing in return. While whining when Republicans do the exact same shit.
We all know what generation and ethnicity I'm talking about.
You'll never hear this stuff from Republicans. That's another big differentiator between Republican and Democrat. Republicanism will destroy freedom if they continue to win unchecked.
Republicanism will destroy freedom if they continue to win unchecked.
Then the people who would refuse to vote for Biden in 2024 if he cuts off weapon shipments need to think long and hard which one is more important to them.
What you say is true, a lot of potential voters are not seeing this as a change of heart, but rather a theatrical distancing from an unpopular issue (perpetrating genocide).
Let's see a US sponsored UN resolution.
I’ll take us just not vetoing one.
Instead, we’ll sit there with our boats getting fired at to defend people that don’t actually want our help.
Have you listened to them?
They think what we say doesn’t matter, so let’s just exit from the scenario.
We pull our ships back, and just let the consequences of their actions happen.
I give it less than a week before they’re begging for our help again.
Honestly, that would be a really good image.
Netanyahu on his knees, begging for help before we give it.
Make it a caveat for help
It's all PR until this happens
Nothing to do with the content, it's simply a matter of Biden not wanting to undercut the Democratic lead in the Senate.
