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.

Not in 🇺🇲. He is safest there, as the country is full of temporary embarrassed trillionaires. One quick look at the 🇺🇲 replies I get when I tell them to insurrect, answers their quo.
Hope Germans continues making strange disappearance until they are all gone.🫡
Where are you from?
This person is in Japan and has previously stated they would never come to the US to aid in this insurrection they call for because they might get temporarily detained at the airport.
They wouldn’t come to the US to “aid” because they want the US to fall, and also they are a wimp.
Tbh I would also not help in an insurrection in the US or north Korea or Russia, even tho I very much beleave all of those places need a change of leadership pronto.
Even from a logistical point, A毛s haven't even weaved a single 劳改。 Y risk an interceptable flight✈️ across ð Pacific? Another Pearl, just for a lem毛?
I haven't understood a thing. You need to speak boomer with me...
Logistically, A[merican+Mao[ist]]s (pun) haven't dismantled a single [deathcamp](Maoist equivalent. you may know “gulag”). [So why] risk getting shot down while flying across the Pacific Ocean? Another Pearl [Harbour], just [to help another] lemmy+Mao (portmanteau&insult)?
This was written in way Chinese & Japanese can grasp the historical contexts we both faced being persecuted from the Chinese Communist Revolution, and Japanese deathcamps in the US. The folks I’m insulting are Maoist sympathizers: e.i. MAGA: which lemmyverse has 5 instances thereof.
Ok, no chance I would have understood that without the translation... Thanks!
🙇♀️ thank you for asking then.
While I thank you for doing something whiwake refused to change off themselves for, you are grossly mischaracterizing what I said in that 🧵.
How likely is it that temporarily embarrassed Maoists will cease TSA insta-deathcamping, when not a single ICE facility has been demolished, and instead they are constructing more?
I don't fear insurrection, I fear 🇺🇲s are Maoist through and through. So why bother?
I dunno how to tell you nicely to switch clients, from the last 🧵 you quite literally asked this. But I guess even the strange glyphs in my display name evades you.
I use the best client for my needs. Your name is AntiBullyRanger. You refuse to answer any question because you like to take your shitty life out on everyone else. Haha. Control issues?
Seems like you're projecting.
So by “whiwake, ” I can assume you're Russian, and support Vladimir?
Huh. What part of “whiwake” makes you think of Russia? What I like best about your name is how hypocritical it is.
What part of “fascists shouldn't exist anywhere” is antibully of me?
The part where you bully people directly to satisfy that dopamine rush you crave. This is most likely undiagnosed anti-social personality disorder.
It’s that part where you refuse to answer direct question. You do it on purpose. I find it pretty funny, which is why I keep asking you direct questions.
How does my username, that was randomly generated, sound Russian to you? Or, are you just chasing that dopamine again? 😂
Ok, you're def. projecting there. Maybe disconnect, touch grass, form an antifa.
Here’s a direct answer: how does knowing where I am aid eliminating the AfD problem. Bist du Deutscher?
Lmfao. A direct answer… as a question. I love it. I love how consistently right I am about you. Your constant craving to anger people is making my day. It’s like a child having a tantrum.
@whiwake@lemmy.cafe btw, quick FNCA: downvotes are not disagreements, or dislikes in lemmy. All you said was “not worth reading.”
I don’t have voting on, so I don’t see or use them. If you are getting downvotes, it’s all you.
🆒
"I keep telling these people who are being crushed with an oppressive boot to stop being crushed with an oppressive boot, but they just won't listen. "
Listen, what you're saying has no nuance and is easy to say without having to take any action yourself. Even if you're well meaning, only actions matter here and trying to have an understanding and context of actual life in America. It's easy to be on the outside looking in on the trainwreck here.
You clearly have no idea how many protests and riots we've had in response, but it gets swiftly stomped out. You don't seem to understand how the strength of one of (if not the) strongest military power can be used against its own people to end a peaceful protest with force. If the police won't do it, they send in the National Guard.
I'm not proud of my country. I don't make excuses for my country. In many ways I hate my country. But your words are tone deaf and frankly pathetic.
And if you read my replies, Korea broke its boot. Thailand broke theirs. Spain bombed theirs. Indonesia is literally showing them up. France has done it twice now. Netherlands once.
Why are you 🇺🇲s so different that you can not replicate success of your prior allies? Why are you, so successful at installing despots around the world, that when a coup starts at home, you fail so damn hard at keeping the wigs off?
If you have already accepted your deaths, then why even bother replying to me on lemmy? Just check out, no need to further assist fascists more than you already have. Just like end it. I’m just not hopeless, that I won't bring down one with me along too.
collapsed inline media
That is exactly the fucking answer. Who is doing this? Our military. Because they're that god damned strong. You just listed a bunch of countries that while things may have been difficult, they do not at all compare to a super power's military strength. They just don't. That's not something I'm happy about, and that's not even American exceptionalism talking, that's just the reality and the disparity of the different miliary strengths.
I'm not accepting it and you don't get to say when I can and cannot speak out just because we disagree.
Good. Then I’ll continue saying “beat your ‘god damned strong’ military at urban guerrilla Vietnam proved still works on their asses.” Your Maoists failed twice to make scrambled eggs, now show me what “Democrats” can do, other than comply. You have the perfect distraction now, that the chariman is at war with Venezuela. 🫡
Yep I completely agree that our Democratic party does incredibly little. They got all upset at Trump calling them Do Nothing Democrats during his first term, but it's the fucking truth. Voting Democrat is only the "lesser evil" because the alternatives are either fascists or independents who have no power hold whatsoever at ANY level of government in the entire nation.
The part that is infuriating for me is that I'd rather at least have a more centrist party if not outright liberal party, because Democrats are still conservative; they're just further left of Republicans. The only liberal parties are independents and you cannot get federal power without first having local/city power, and then state power, and finally federal. It'll never work on any other way in the US and that's been proven for over 200 years.
“I don’t make excuses for my country but here’s a shitload of excuses.”
I mean, you're right if giving any facts is just an excuse now. This isn't a list of reasons why we shouldn't do something, it's a list of reasons why it hasn't worked at all yet, because people are trying, but you'd like to assume we all sit on our fat asses and do nothing I'm sure.
What is this “it” you think has been tried that “hasn’t worked yet”?
Do you think parades with cute little signs are “doing something”? What am I thinking, of course you do.
“People are trying.” 😅 Nobody is trying. Going to a protest in a Saturday is less than nothing. If I’m wrong, show your work.
Jfc, no. Any work I may be doing does not need to be proven to you, and disclosing any of it would only be putting myself at risk. Do you even understand what kind of shit the feds are trying to use for digital surveillance? Or that our TSA literally are checking phones of people coming into our borders for anti-Trump social media posts? Why would I ever fucking tell you or anyone anything I participate in? That's just how out of touch you are if you think I should.
Right, I’m sure you’re a fuckin’ general in the massive underground resistance that’s going to pop up any day now
And I'm sure your uncle works for Nintendo. What's your fucking point?
My point is that what is happening to the US is happening and will continue to happen because of people like you insisting that they’re doing enough and getting defensive when anyone says otherwise.
It’s fine, keep it up. The fascists are counting on it.
It's easy to point blame at something or someone when you're completely unaffected by the problem and have zero personal stake. What I'm trying to tell you is that everyone needs to prioritize their own privacy online and it wouldn't matter if I was a resistance general or the just the random dude on the street. We all have something to lose.
The only thing I will say is that I do work for government myself. No, it's not an elected position, and no I'm not someone high up in legislation or anything like that. But I have been a public employee for decades now and my own state has proven that they can and will work to have someone forcefully resigned based on unfavorable social media posts.
So again, no.
But also "because of people like you" is exactly the kind of shit we should be fighting against saying in the first place, my dude. Because that leads to generalizations that those in power do take advantage of.
It’s great that your job is so important to you. It’s a good thing nobody else in history who ever fought back against great odds had jobs or families or anything to worry about.
You can't fight from the inside if you're on the outside.
There is no louder screeching than that from white American liberals insisting that they’ve done all they can and calling you a keyboard warrior. The US is absolutely fucked and at this point it’s mostly the fault of the do-nothing, complacent “resistance.”
