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.

WT actual F? A school opinion piece gets you disappeared??
We FUCKING TOLD ALL OF YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN. And you said we were being hyperbolic.
It will get worse.
How long do people think it will take for there to be shooting over this? Not everyone is going to just let people get disappeared in front of them without doing anything.
They bred soul out of Americans a long time ago.
Liberals in America have willingly neutered themselves over the past 70 years. The only group in America willing to resort to anti government violence is currently in power.
Who are you addressing here
Probably anyone who's shocked at this happening.
All the "Trump won't be so bad" idiots.
I don't think there's a lot of those around here. Kind of off-putting because I knew it would be bad, and now have to live it.
They were EVERYWHERE right before the election.
All the people who said to 'punish' the Democrats by not voting or voting for Russian assets Jill Stein or Donald Trump.
Probably the Americans.
Let's see if they bother to take any actual real action though, or if they just keep insisting there's nothing they can do.
I have a vested interest in them actually doing something positive about their situation, because in a few years if they don't, Europe and her allies will find itself in a World War, defending itself from Fascist USA aggression :-(
At least we didn't support genocide /s
You see 'Genocide Joe' had to be defeated for vague reasons I will not explain. No, I will not address that his opponent explicitly supports ethnic cleansing, and war. Instead, I will call you a genocide supporting piece of shit.
/s
Latest that I got was "antisemitic" for criticizing voting for Stein on account of her ties to Russian oligarchs and the Green Party's abject lack of any attempt to organize or run down-ballot candidates that could have a positive impact. I then discovered that it was an alt for a tankie from the grad.
Wait till he goes after citizens. You can’t vote democrat if you have a felony for… something.
This is the Thought Police, brought to you by the people who invoke 1984 when their putrid opinions get called out on the internet.
Lesson for non citizens. You don’t have a first amendment right in this country under this administration.
Honestly, for citizens, I am sure he will find ways of punishing us for free speech as well.
They already do, it's called gangstalking. If you can dig through the bullshit about aliens and nonsense that they put out their to make it look like a conspiracy... The goal is to make people that talk the truth look insane. We have been in a psychological war for a long time.
I don't think America has been the good guy long before trump. What's happening now is a long time effort. There are ideologies and organizations older than America.
It can't be fixed, just destroyed.
Gangstalking is very real. The people trying to discredit it are the ones who benefit from it. More people need to understand these tactics, as it will likely become more common as time goes on. It's painted to look like a conspiracy, but it's very similar to what the stasi did to people in eastern Germany also called "zersetzung".
It's eerily similar to how American politics has been working.
Ahh America’s certainly had its oopsies… A little Tuskegee syphilis here, a little spot of genocide there…
:-/
Hey if I may touch on something:
Readers unfamiliar, please review definition of gangstalking :)
An example:
tl;dr (embellished): average narcissistic family invests tremendous resources to bother some family member who seems to hop between random jobs; their head swivels constantly as they stare at the stalkers all around them, and they wonder why people stare back
Want folks to be aware of the context here. btw the only people I’ve ever seen dismantle this kinda thing has been western educated sciency folks (lab coats, MD in title, etc.) plus they’re not the type to harass and make too much money to be roped into schemes (induced to harass). Thank you!
Not even anything radical. Just "recognize ICC and stop giving money plz"
White Rose movement got a girl and her brother beheaded in Nazi Germany. For pretty much this.
Edit: (wrong flower and wrong relationship and yeah others were executed i just read about them)
I'm pretty sure you mean the White Rose five Students and a University Professor were executed by the Gestapo for graffiti and leaflets. Best known are the siblings Sophie and Hans Scholl.
Yeah it's been a while since I read about it thanks for correcting it
Canary Mission = White *Rose
AHA! That's what got me confused thank you!
