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.

"Why would anyone in Europe care?"
I think the point of it would be to signal to Trump that Europe is his vassal. Trump says it's sad that this guy is dead, therefore Europe is sad. Doesn't really matter who it is or what's up. You're just following the pledge of fealty.
So, I think it's good that the EU decided they're sovereign for now. This sort of thing is always an ongoing project.
Yeah, keyword is "right wing" lawmakers.
In my country at least, the far right is currently looking up to the US and sucking off Trump. Their true master is Putin, but they can't praise Putin in public, we used to be part of the union.
Here in Australia there's a few Trump sycophants that pull this type of stuff occasionally, or try saying "make Australia great again", and just nutters that put Trump stickers and whatever on their cars.
The only explanation I've been able to develop is that they enjoy the reactions they get from people. In the same way siblings antagonise each other for a cheap thrill, these guys just like the feeling of antagonising people.
Our recent election has shown that Trumpism doesn't get much love here in Australia.
It's interesting how you say this because I serve MAGAs. I'm a bartender in small town Merica.
They're naturally good people. They care. But if politics enter into the conversation, the narrative changes.
Many of them, when brouched with a hypothetical/reasonable question, such as, "Don't you find it interesting that if you speak online with people of other nations, they all find us shameful?" they say fuck them, 'Merica! We'd fuck them up anyway, if it came down to it.
They want to get a rise out of the "libtards". I've witnessed them preening and delighted out of the reaction they insight.
Once I steer the conversation, so I don't shoot my own damned self, they start complaining about prices in the same sentence they hope the tariffs will sink in and help them recover their losses.
We are a nation being forced fed our thoughts, opinions, and ideals. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
