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.

Stormtroopers are SA not SS
No. The SA was the paramilitary dirt boys for the dirty work before they got into power. SA stands for Sturmabteilung. Their job was intimidation and roughening up other politicians.
The SS were the nutcases that were used in all kinds of things. Inner security, in military battle, assisting the genocide, helping the gestapo, aso SS stands for Schutzstaffel. As in protection of the Reich
Like you said one became the other as essentially disenfranchised Germans after world sanctions in the treaty of Versailles.
If you put a gun in a starving man’s hand and point it at a meal they’ll shoot or becoming anything every time
The SA didnt become the SS. The SS also existed at the same time as the SA but the SA and all part of it got murdered in the night of the long knife.
The german civilians back then had a choice. They werent forced until the very end. They all knew what they got into and what they will with the nazis before they took power. Many chose resistence. Later chanclor Willy Brandt being a good example. All the students that gave their life for the resistance.
The nazi party got banned for a while but as they got unbanned and were tried to get them re banned it was determined by the conservatives them being too powerful now and rather should be rained in politicly, they thought they could control hitler. Ach Paul von Pappen and von Hindenburg, the later even once being ally of hitler for a while.
This is what I kinda keep saying. Trump isn’t hitler he’s Hindenburg. Hitler was a foreign national appointed chancellor.
Aka an unelected official taking control of the gov sounds pretty familiar
