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.

so the latter it is!
remember, after WW2 victims of the Nazi régime were still victimized for being German for decades even though many were children or had zero control over their nation at the time.
the path to fascist control is paved with prejudiced stones.
by the way, have you stopped to think that you might be doing exactly what Trump wants you to do by spreading fear and hate against all Americans indiscriminately?
My German grandma's family immigrated to Canada right after WW1 and that's what they faced. She lost her language, and even if I asked her questions about Germany she would just turn away from me and not answer.
She never cooked German food either ... it was all Swedish for my grandpa.
Trump is still in power, right now, at this very moment. If you feel helpless in the face of what's going on, that's one thing, but what is being talked about isn't some bygone era of days past. It's the literal present.
what would you have us do? what would you do right now?
My point wasn't that I had a step-by-step comprehensive guide to solve everything from the moment that you read these words, my point was that the analogy of "sins of the father" doesn't work because 70 percent of the current living electorate looked at fascism and either were completely apathetic to it or actively sought it out. There are very legitimate reasons why Canadians are not going to be fond of Americans now and for some time to come. The threat of annexation is both real and current.
70% of the 100% who voted, yes. Only 70% of Americans voted. I can't excuse the 30% though, I even publicly called out those who refused to or just didn't vote.
my point being, treating every American like an enemy will only foster more hate and animosity.
yes it's real, always has been though. the truth is, your actions and emotions have been compromised by a megalomaniac in another country. one madman, I might add, that can't seem to make a choice on to tariff or not. the orange shitstain can't even decide on which countries will get the highest tariffs.
so yes, the threat is real that Canada can be invaded. I wouldn't put much stock in it until he makes a choice to shit or get off the pot though. let your government worry about it, it seems they still have their shit together.
personally, I'm staying in the US until my wife or kids are targeted. I'd like to bring them to Canada and come back to fight for my family that remains and for the hope that we can restore the order.
I cannot fight though, if I'm worried about my wife and kids and that's if they're here or there. so please, when the time comes, please be a good neighbor and return the same kindness my family shares with you.
Rebel, revolt and kill those in power is a good starting point.
I think we are clear on this.
We can't invade you, so take care of your own shit.
Then get rid of him, so we can begin the looooooooooooooooong road towards healing this completely fractured relationship.
We only deal with what is, which is all of America is our enemy now. You know we are preparing for an invasion right?
