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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

What is the deal with this orange orangutan? The rightwing conservative movement can throw him under the bus and get a new idiot to lead their movement .... so why hang the fate of your movement on this moron? Seriously ... they could find a younger, stronger more charismatic individual to lead them that would be ten times more dangerous than this aging orange deformed sea lion.
In theory they could and I think that's what they were setting Kirk to be once Trump croaks, but then his neck did that thing. A lot of the problem is that the current crop of right wingers both the base and the leaders are fucking lunatics that are broadly crippled by their own egos and madness.
Just look at their propagandists, it's gone from Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh to fucken Asmingold and Catturd. Sure the old ones were still just as horrific and stupid but at least they vaguely attempted to be respectable. I think this devolution has been broadly effective across the board, from the highest elements like Musk and Thiel to the lowest dregs listening to some inane podcaster on the way to work.
I legit don't think they have anyone outside of Trump who can rally their base on a unified level anymore, so they stick to him hoping they can solidify their gains before the whole damned thing implodes.
I think Tucker Carlson might be able to, once Trump is out of his way.
I think Carlson is a bit too IDK weak, timid, insecure. Don't quite have the wording for it but one of the big advantages Trump has that most of his potential replacements don't is that his narcissism is so all encompassing that he comes across as strong to them. Mind you that's just self assurance and it's equivalent to a sleazy used car salesman but it is a notable difference.
