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.

as someone from the south, "right wing of america hates jews", I disagree with. Most southerners dont even know a single jewish person or have any reason to wish them ill will as long as a they are white.
The billionaire zionists wave the anti-semitism flag anytime they dont like a democrat, ADL is essentially an arm of the Liqud gov at this point, they dont care if you seig hiel, pal around with German nazi's, just as long as you dont mention that Israel is daily committing some of the worst atrocities happening on the planet Earth right now.
interesting. i'm also from the south and there are multiple far right anti-semitic groups i have to think about like Atomwaffen SS, the KKK, Patriot Front, the Proud Boys, several militias whose names i don't know, but i know where their training facilities are
they are not anti-semitic at their base, KKK is about skin color and was born from the confederate south and that was born out of racial dominance and idiocy, but not jewish hatred. The KKK is just an mlm for racists and has largely all its been throughout its history.
🤷 my great grandfather was a grand wizard. maybe it was just his chapter but they were pretty explicitly anti my mom's family. but absolutely on the terrorist mlm thing.
They may have never met a Jew in their life, that doesn't stop them from hating us. I'm Jewish and went to college in the south. When they found out I was Jewish (I declined one too many Bible studies I guess), I was targeted for conversion almost constantly. It was a nightmare. I was also pepper sprayed by a Neo Nazi in Southern VA. Trust me, they hate us plenty.
yeah different experiences I guess and I am not going to invalidate yours by wasting any more breath on filth like them, however being targeted for conversion is a full time job for many bible thumpers in the bible belt and they hate any body not giving their tithe weekly regardless of race, its obviously a venn diagram of souls being exploited and manipulated for the goals of others and if we learned anything during trump's first term, they are only getting organized during this time to seriously fuck shit up running up to elections.
