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.

Yeah, I've heard the same thing about why it's acceptable to be afraid of certain minorities because they "statistically commit more crimes."
Neither are excuses for bigotry and prejudice.

White people becoming black the moment a woman refuses an open-top drink just sitting on a table at a party.
What an absurdly bad faith argument to make. I assume you're trying to get me to write several paragraphs explaining why it's so damn stupid just so you can reply with a one word gatcha or something.
Anyways, eat shit incel.
Well they replied to a different account so either they're both you or you grossly misread what they were replying to.
I'll take your pivot to personal insults as admittance that you have no counter-argument.
Not surprised.
I'll take your pivot to a well known misleading and unrelated statistic with no comparable qualities aside from both being a statistic as admittance that you have no counter-argument.
Not surprised.
Yeah, anything to avoid admitting you don't have a point.
I already made my point? Society at large doesn't take sexual assault seriously, as evidenced by many factors such as lack of police response, hostile judicial systems, health insurance companies not covering rape kits, the existence of manosphere pieces of shit like the Tates, America recently electing an adjudicated rapist to the highest office of the country, the misogynistic teachings of all major religions, the misogynistic practices of all right-wing political ideologies, etc... Women face a harsh reality where they're forced to protect themselves.
Even here, in a post about a woman raped by over fifty men hundreds of times, you're shrieking "BuT WhUt AbOuT MEnS FeEliNgS".
So, what exactly is your point? Women should just swallow all of these fears and concerns? Why? To spare men any sort of introspection and emotional discomfort? Just deal with it ladies, you're gonna get raped, big deal.
You didn't make your point. You said you weren't going to make your point and then proceeded to personally insult me.
You still haven't explained why prejudice isn't acceptable for racists but it is acceptable for misandrists.
Did... did you see the part where I said "neither are an excuse for bigotry and prejudice"? Or did you just conveniently ignore that part so you could say I don't have a point?
I've made it clear from the very beginning: misandry isn't acceptable behavior and it's part of a double-standard that you are proudly defending. You got upset about this and proceeded to attack me without explaining why the same arguments racists use to justify their racism are somehow acceptable to justify your sexism.
Rofl, can you point to the prejudice and/or bigotry? Nobody is suggesting we deny service to men, remove men's civil rights, or do literally anything to men. All your rights and liberties are fully intact. Women being cautious, scared and wary of men because they fear for their safety is not bigotry, prejudice, or sexism. It's a rational and direct response to society's complete and utter failure to protect them, and even further, society's active efforts to protect the rapists and punish the victims.
We're all in here talking about protecting women in a world where way too many people think rape is perfectly acceptable, and you're in the back shouting "but how do we protect the men!?" and you genuinely don't see a problem with that. Jesus Christ. Men are protected, it's women who are vulnerable.
If you need me to spell out why judging somebody before you know them based on their sex is prejudiced and sexist, then you need to look up what the definitions of those words mean.
Nobody is prejudging anyone. It's risk mitigation. I don't lock my doors at night because I'm prejudiced or bigoted towards my neighbors. I lock them because there's a non zero statistical chance that someone might try to break in. Do you not understand what risk management means? Then you need to look up what the definitions of those words mean.
Yeah, the racists say the same thing about avoiding minorities.
It's clear you're never going to accept your bigotry.
It's clear you're a misogynistic incel that thinks you deserve access to a woman's body against her will :). Thanks for the self report.
Back to the personal attacks.
Anything to avoid admitting you're part of the problem.
Because a black person being wary of confederate-flag-carrying white men actually is acceptable, and you'd know that if your red pill was as good as my ecstacy.
Your hurt feelings are not the denial of your right to vote.
Your hurt feelings are not the revocation of Roe v. Wade.
Your hurt feelings are not workplace sexual harassment.
Your hurt feelings are not rohypnol being slipped into your drink.
Your hurt feelings are not dick pics being sent by someone twice your age.
Your hurt feelings are not your boyfriend hyperventillating because you have 3 exes.
And why are your feelings hurt anyway? Were you one of these fifty men in France? Then suck it up. You are embarrassing to my country of men.
