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.

Yeah, our economy will collapse and we'll all be waiting in bread lines. Can't wait.
Fat orange fuck will still be golfing and calling you a sad loser.
There won't be much bread to wait for. The billionaires won't finance it, and the government won't have the resources anymore.
I'm growing my own food in the backyard, should be ready to eat by August!
American made bread lines power by beautiful clean coal.
You won't starve to death. don't worry.
gotta love every one in the world laughing at us as we suffer at the hands of lunatics.
doi they understand WE didn't vote for this shit. big because of the stupid ass electorial college here we are.
No, but you're the ones that have to fix it. We can't do it for you.
On the one hand, I want to have sympathy for the suffering of my American neighbours.
On the other hand, you dumbfucks let THAT guy get into power... TWICE! I'd be disappointed if it was just the once, but TWICE!? You people saw how bad it was the first time, and voted for another round. Hearts out to the people who are suffering, but clearly this is what the majority of you want, so I can't feel much sympathy anymore.
He won the popular vote by less than one percent. That's not a majority of people. It's also less than 35% of the population.
36% of the eligible population didn't vote and that can only mean they were fine with both Trump and Harris. That makes 71% of the population - the majority of the people.
nitpick: not everyone who wanted to vote always can vote (republican-led states tried to greatly reduce polling stations, mail-in voting, etc. ahead of elections), but it probably doesn't move that number by a ton.
Nearly 90 million people didn’t vote in the 2024 USA election. If you don’t want to become an American, don’t act like one.
🇨🇦 ✊ 🇨🇦 GET OUT AND VOTE 🇨🇦 ✊ 🇨🇦

2/3 of the voting populace saw Trump next to Kamala and considered Kamala a bigger threat
So yeah, fuck it. Let the US feel pain.
With "we didn't vote for it", do you mean you voted for Kamala Harris, or did you vote third party, or didn't you vote at all?
What would you have the rest of the world do? Thoughts and prayers?
well, there was that 40% of shitheads who didn't bother at all.
"I couldn't vote for genocide"
Let's be real, Israel was gonna do whatever the fuck it wanted anyway. The ceasefire was bullshit and now people are so focused on the orange clowns bullshit that soon there won't be any Palestinians left.
That's a good sentiment which should be encouraged. If more Americans had that base level of compassion we wouldn't be here now.
Decades of trading death and destruction globally for comfort at home built an America ripe for the taking by the likes of Trump as he simply had to capitalize on the sentiments created by that "us at the cost of them" system better than Kamala was able to.
Um. Many did, and we are here. Possibly as a result of that "compassion". The lesson is that single-issue voters will sink the boat they are in and achieve nothing as a result.
you could? huh, weird flex but okay
Imagine not "voting for genocide" and not only getting more genocide but also a trade war with the entire world.
I hope you can buy eggs with "principles".
Interesting that you think I'm American. Just amazed by people stating openly that they're okay with genocide.
Guess poor reading comprehension isn't just an American thing then
How's that ceasefire going?
Trump tower gaza coming up next. Thanks to Jill Stein, Rashid Tlaib and Kshama Sawant. Genocide will be solved since there wont be any Palestinians left. Brilliant move by Pro Palestinian reactionaries. Bravo Rashida, Kshama and Jill. Bravo
