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.

... Yes, yes you absolutely should.
There is literally no comparison there, you absolute grapefruit, Hitler killed something like 30 million people all told, mussolini killed maybe thousands max.
"haha, should I shoot myself in the leg, or in the head, hurr durr!"
Fucking children.
Hitler or Stalin. Which one would you ally with? After all, according to lemmy's vocal group of centrists who scream "tankie" at anyone to their left, Stalin killed more people.
So based on your criteria, how much happier would you be with the US as members of the Axis?
First one then the other.
Whichever was weakest to eliminate the strongest, then rinse and repeat.
Your insane childishness is thinking that either matters.
Both need to lose, the GOP should always lose and be destroyed, that's the actual end goal.
Hitler was weaker than Stalin. Thank you for clarifying that you would ally with Hitler.
Fuck your gaslighting, quisling.
You don't expect anyone to actually believe that this is a goal of democrats, do you? Lemmy's centrists rejoiced at dick cheney's endorsement and actually acted betrayed when gwb didn't endorse harris.
Hitler was winning. He was exterminating Stalin who would have lost without our help.
And Stalin killed as many people as Hitler eventually had before the war even started.
I don't care about Hitler or Stalin, but I'll 'ally' with either to make sure both die painfully.
Destroying the GOP is my only goal, there's time to think past that when it's done.
Btw, in this metaphor, we beat both, and we did it well.
Edit: Stalin stronger than Hitler, hahaha.
Worthless dickless genocidal fuck got his ass handed to him by a handful of Finns, just like their great grandchildren are being made bitches by Ukraine.
Then stop supporting losing strategies.
Voting against them worked 3 times out of the last 5.
Should have worked more but people didn't understand the only thing that matters is causing the GOP pain.
People voted for Obama, not against McCain or Romney. Well, except the centrists who didn't get their first choice in 2008 and formed a PAC to get McCain elected. They voted against Obama and have been screaming "no matter who" ever since.
Don't pretend Obama ran as some soulless clinton corpodem just because it's convenient for your anti-progressive narrative.
The last three elections, we've run candidates that the shitlib wing of the party loves. Two lost and one was a squeaker. As long as the party keeps pandering right and punching left, the party will keep losing. But they'll keep punching left, so you're there for it.
