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.

Biden and he knew very well what they was doing. That's not a mistake
I am sure that you agree that the statue of limitation do not apply to someone who committed a crime or assisted the killer. So why do you oppose condemning Biden and Miller and not forget what they did?
Are people dying right now? That’s an immediate need, if so.
Are they in power right now? Campaigning for reelection right now? That’s an immediate need if so.
Please don’t demonize “let’s focus on immediate needs” as I feel that’s a reasonable thing to want.
The immediate need is to not allow these weak willed genocide enablers anywhere near power again. We need the position of those connected to this administration to be in pile of pig manure, so that way we get people who aren't absolute fucking cowards doing less than the bare minimum to maintain their own system.
People are dying right now that Biden's administration could've saved, but because the cause long precedes the effect, we need to be looking farther ahead. Weak liberals will be complicit at best, and monsters at worst, so we need to work every day until the next somewhat fair election to make their brand weak.
When the fascists begin to bleed themselves dry, the left must lead the charge, not the money loving liberals. If we don't lay that groundwork before most can envision the fight, we'll have feudalists ushering in a "return to normalcy" with broad support from the public.
Sure war criminals can be free with no accountability when they no longer in power. What a terrible logic. We will demonize them as much as we want, you can't stop that.
Maybe if your presidents was held accountable like Bush , trump wouldn't feel free to do all the terrible thing he does.
Will you forgive trump and forget his crimes when he is out?
Probably because it does nothing now while children are burning to death.
It should definitely not be forgotten... but it also shouldn't be our focus. Because if you focus on the inconsequential you get the situation we've constantly been in the last... well probably at least as long as the US has been a thing.
If this were more like reconstruction after the US civil war, where the damage has been done and we're trying to recover from it, it might be the same. Where forgiving past mistakes causes massive consequences that are still being felt. We're not at that point yet, if we ever manage to get there.
We can focus on more than one thing . There is no mistake here, a mistake is an unintentional action that have bad consequences. the USA been deliberately ignoring and helping Israel terrorism, occupation and oppression of Palestinians for decades
Sure, but what we are going to do about it now matters far more than what we're going to do with the people no longer in a position to do anything about it.
if was criminals don't face justice, at least it they should be remembered for what they did so history don't forget
There's sure gonna be a lot of them if we spend all our time wringing our hands about what they've done in the past instead of preventing it in the future!
You can't prevent anything from happening in the future if you refuse to keep wrong doing in the past relevant
You can't learn from the past if you spend too much time living in it.
I spend my time in past, present and future all of them are interconnected
Not a single person in the world can fix all issues all at once. Most people can barely keep one important thing in their mind at a time. We have too many things to worry about to obsess about a group of people who have almost no power anymore. If the time comes when the pendulum swings back in their direction, sure, it's worth making it an issue... but the world is on fire and you seem to be spending an inordinate amount of time buying gasoline.
Stop trying to fight every battle all at once, and most importantly stop trying to get everyone else to care about every battle you're obsessed with fighting. They'll just end up treating it like everything else, too much to deal with.
Bla bla bla
You're right, if you can't boil an argument down to a tweet it's clearly not worth listening to :)
