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 Taliban would have never allowed a woman on the ballot at all so yeah don't need their opinion on this.
That's their point, that Americans aren't much different than them, neither wants a woman in a position of power
At least the US system allows women to run for office, and indeed plenty are in lower offices.
Yeah when they need yo elect the unelectable fascist, because then he's 100% gonna win
Basically the same thing. Might as well move to Afghanistan.
It would be very dumb to move from a place where project 2025 is about to happen to a place where project 2025 has been happening for awhile.
That's the point. They're ridiculing the hypocrisy, not the sexism.
They’re vile
Some americans are alright
It’s not only the taliban, they’re despicable, but the US would never elect a woman, at least that’s what the rest of the world thinks
Yep, my female workmate told me on the morning of election that she believes trump will win because men hate woman.
~44% of women voted for Trump. Around 55% of men. So women hate themselves almost as much apparently.
And she was right. Not me but you all. We were all rooting for Kamala this side of the Atlantic
Sorry didn’t really mean that, but hope you understand the sentiment
I'm from Germany and she is too.
It looks bleak and we will follow America's lead. I don't think we can point fingers at anyone from over here. Just listen to the people speak around you.
So “men hate women” huh? Is this something she believes of all men? I wonder what her response to an entire sex hating another entire sex is. I wonder if that belief of her colors all her interpretations of all men.
Obviously not, since she is a friend of mine and felt comfortable enough to tell me.
She didn't say all men so stop your bullshit victim complex from rotting away your mind
I'm so fed up with assholes like you.
Maybe it's what the rest of the world thinks because it's true?
