A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

And then they went to Russia, where they were send to Ukraine, where they were turned into fertilizer by the shells their tax dollars got for Ukraine.
Good, go, and didn't let the door hit ya.
Oh yes please! Move to Russia. Can easily keep denying climate change and live in the authoritarian system they prefer. Let all these guys move there, they can make up for all the men Putin killed in his stupid war with Ukraine.
the Foreign Ministry is gearing up to issue visas to true patriots as soon as September! It's time to stand up for spiritual and moral values!
My God these people are fucking idiots.
True patriots leave their country for Russia, and to flee your country is to "stand up for spiritual and moral values". /s
Ship em all over there so they can be ukranian target practice dummies
Flash forward to Russia “they’re not sending their best” comments
They should move there to have abortion rights, gun control and limited freedom of speech. All the "conservative" stuff they love.
DIG THE FUCKING HOLE!!
I can't wait to see the tic-toks coming from the first volunteer MAGA battalion they send to the front. Do you think maybe they'll ask both Putin AND Trump for help as battle hardened AFU units shred their weekend warrior asses?
The few Americans who have joined the Russian side are always kept away from the front, their sole purpose is for propaganda which they can't do if they're shredded by a drone
1980's conservatives: "Why don't you move to Russia if you don't like it here?"
2020's conservatives: "Why don't we move to Russia if we don't like it here?"
Yeah well, not too illogical a position considering the fall of communism between those decades. This is a trait of Russia, not of conservatives.
In the 1920s, a brash group of young and ideologically committed Americans saw the Bolshevik Revolution taking place in Russia and decided to travel halfway around the world in order to join it.
In the 2020s, a boorish group of over-the-hill talk radio hosts and their most die-hard hangers on are witnessing the last dregs of humanity squeezed out of the failed revolutionary experiment and have decided "Damn, now is definitely the time to pop over and go golfing."
I wonder what the Russian police will say the first time they see Alex Jones light up a fat blunt?
Sound very much like the communists that moved to Soviet Union 100 years ago to build a utopia. They went and got purged by Stalin. Now it's the turn for far-right wingnuts with another former petty criminal in charge of Russia.
Sound very much like the communists that moved to Soviet Union 100 years ago to build a utopia.
Sounds like the exact opposite. Alex Jones is many things, but he's not a brash young revolutionary looking to rebuild the industrial base of the country with his own two hands. Dude is looking over there because he wants to haunt the strip clubs and cigar joints, while getting shit-faced on raw milk and vodka.
Good, he can go to Ruzzia and produce more, "entertainment for idiots", there.
Or gets conscripted and dies in the trenches.
Nah, Putin isn't that dumb, Alex Jones will get set up nice somewhere he can pump out propaganda and get more rubes to come to Russia, the rubes will die in the trenches.
Hey a problem that solves itself. Nice.
I would get such schadenfreude from each and every MAGA dipshit who actually takes this offer up
I wonder if people who defect to north korea are also similarly dense
Putin puts out call for Americans to conscript and fight in Ukraine?
That last comment is really sad, because it sounds like schizophrenia.
"Good, if those still wishing to make satanic hand gestures and hidden eye symbols keep doing it and don’t stop Alex Jones I might just do that," added X user Robin Cope.
I think he just buys into his own bullshit now. Kindle lake L. Ron Hubbard towards the end.
Please idiots, flee to that hellscape. There you might realize how full of shit you all are.
Who cares as long as they're gone?
