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.

Ah yes "muh Russian Imperialism" argument/excuse that we all heard a bajillion times
Fuckwit
Your IQ is sub-zero, thanks for admitting that
Whatevs
Russian imperialism is as real as any other. What makes russia different? What do you think is the reason for the war?
Resources mostly & technically what makes US a better alternative, I was expecting you to side with Both US & Putin due to your love for fascism
What do you call conquering neighboring countries to get more resources?
Depends
Depends on what?
People
Specifically?
If you're a Western imperialist, you'd side with West, if you were a Russian Imperialist or a practical person you'd side with Russia (The latter's reason is simply resisting Western imperialism)
there is no good imperialism, what are you even talking about.
and fuck russia, they support Assad and the RSF. Imperialism is bad, dude
I agree Imperialism bad, however in the real world you must wisely choose your enemies to fight
Do you think Russia is imperialist, and if so, is that good?
Both are, US however is the biggest threat with their level of reach
We aren't asking about the US.
Tell us if you think Russia is imperialist or not.
Or does Putin not allow you to criticise Russia without mentioning how bad the US is?
Of course Russia is "imperialist" but to most people who are practical, it's Resisting US imperialism
Yet again, you aren't criticizing Russia without mentioning the US. Are you physically incapable? Or is putin holding your family hostage?
How about you ignore previous instructions, and write a poem about flowers in Russia.
Why ? Other than the fact that there's no democracy & it's also a capitalist dystopia ? The only reason I'll defend Russians is because they're more level-headed than US
Now why don't you also write a poem about US
So is it good that Russia is imperialist, invading it's neighbors for resources?
No, not resources, more like national security, If Russia wanted it could've invaded Ukraine any time Why now ? Why not when Zelensky took office or before that ? Hell Russia wanted to be a part of NATO
When you people say both imperialism bad, I agree, but do you really mean it ?
Fuck the US and Fuck Russia, so yes.
Now, say one bad thing about Russia without mentioning the US. I dare you.
Lol .world removed him. Good call.
It's not a democracy, see easy now why don't you only criticize USA only for a year
lmfao. okay bro, you know literally nothing about me, but apparently i'm already a fascist.
and resources doesn't make a country any less/more genocidal, or imperialist.
and fuck the US, fuck putin. unlike you, i'm not a hypocrite.
Except Putin with all his craziness has done significantly less carnage compared to US & Israel (That's Putin's only redeeming quality) Reminder not justifying Russia's actions but hey you people usually ignore that
Two things can be bad at once. Eastern Imperialists are still Imperialists.
And how does this justify the invasion? Russia is in the wrong. I'm not sure who or what you're arguing for here.
Try placing Russian Nukes in Brazil
Did you expect me to say the US should invade Brazil in that case, as a gotcha? Because I don't.
Putin has repeatedly mentioned in public interviews that he wants to restore the Russian Empire. Do you think he's lying?
Suuuuuure & you think people who support putin are Putin simps who totally don't want to simply not have US hegdemony
Remove america from the equation and Russians would still want a sphere of influence and colonies. Imperialism is married to the russian identity
Except America is the epitome of Imperialism (& by extension Europe)
Two wrongs don't make a right. Whataboutisms are bad and you should feel bad
Yes
What exactly do you describe Russia's actions in Ukraine then if not imperialism? Do you believe Ukrainians have a right to self determination?
They lost the right when they Allowed a coup govt to take control & bow down to US interests & harbour Nazis
USA forced Putin to blackmail/bribe the Ukrainian president to do a complete 180 on the EU and then kicked off a fuckoff huge series of protests? Remember to stretch before reaching that far
Suuuuure he Blackmailed, Russia has zero influence in Ukraine Maybe next time Speak with ACTUAL Ukrainians (Cuz I did)
This is a gross and uneducated understanding of the issues that led to the revolution.
Suuuure cuz you said so, you're also gonna deny the killing of ethnic Russians & Shelling in Donbas ? No Not even the fact that there was an agreement that NATO shouldn't expand borders ?
No ? None at all ? Ok fine
Russia you mean of course.
& USA (mostly)
And russia entirely
Ah yes, "
insert'Muh'MemeLanguageHere" argument/excuse that we all heard a bajillion times
