A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Update: Yeah this is probably the white house lmao. Nancy Pelosi is still peddling her "Pro Palestinian demonstrators are Russian plants:
Western intelligence officials and diplomats told POLITICO.
Is it "Mr Putins message"again?
Seriously Politico might as well be posting CCP or KGB propaganda at this point this article is an embarrassment.
Pelosi caveated this statement saying that most of them are probably organic and sincere, but the pro Palestine movement aligns with the goals of Russia 🤷♂️, which doesn't make the pro Palestine movement wrong.
It's pretty well documented that Russia attempted to spur conflict within the US by trying to instigate the BLM movement. The BLM movement may overall be a good thing, but that doesn't mean we should be happy that antagonistic foreign governments are trying to add to them.
Further, look at all the tankie influencers online who suddenly are super pro Palestine, such as Jackson Hinckle, even though they have no issue with governments putting down protest in their preferred countries like China.

Pelosi very clearly tried to shove off Palestine demonstrations on China and Russia pretending it was all not organic. Let's not forget her saying on video"go back to China" to protestors calling for a ceasefire.
Claiming that other regimes are responsible for a massive public protest against a governments war crimes is what Tankies do.
CCP Tankies always point to the American government influencing the Tienanmen square massacre saying t it was totally not an organic movement.
Is there some foreign influence? Let's not pretend that we never try to propagate dissident in foreign countries such as the Iranian protests. But that does not make it all foreign influence.
I would qualify this very article on top and Nancy Pelosi as Tankie propaganda
Weren't they literally from Codepink? Like 25% of their funding comes from the Shanghai based billionaire husband of a cofounder. Since they got married, Codepink changed their opinions SHARPLY on China. It seems like a good excuse for shouting "go back to China".
Not seeing those people wear Codepink outfits.
The problem is that Nancy is designating anyone that rightfully proclaims israel was (and still is) comitting Genocide as a Chinese or Russian troll. This is literal Tankie stuff.
Iran also designate any protestors for womens rights as "American psy-ops" because America most certainly supports that narrative and influences people to protest for it. Does that somehow make it right for the Ayatollah to ignore the issue and claim it's all American?
Of course not. So Nancy can't pull the same trick with Genocide either.
So let me get this correctly, the best evidence they could come up with is that they "have no reason to inject themselves into a conflict over the Middle East" and something that happened in 1979? Wow, propaganda much?
