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.

Ironic. Venice was built by people like Bezos.
or perhaps, built by people enslaved by the likes of bezos.
keep on simpin' serf.
Keep on serfin' simp.
You need people to organize and give directions. People on their own are trapped in the routines they have. There will never be built something pretty like Venice without leaders. All you do by making the recognition of leadership toxic is that there won't be leaders [that you can choose or build up] who organize a better life for you.
To add to this:
Venice is the historic city of global trade that is filled with tourist second homes. To celebrate with the inhabitants is simping on its own. The working people don't live in Venice anymore. People who object are other rich people who feel diminished because they cannot rent the city themselves.
The elephant in the room is the introduction of the tourist ticket for Venice. How can Bezos rent the city? He must have bought all tickets for the day. Now, was the ticket introduced by his influence to make that possible? That would be something to object, not the renting itself.
rome conquered and enslaved millions of people. then became so beholden to consuming that they consumed themselves. Then they allied with the nazies. They are definitely very pretty people though.
The mongols surpassed Italy and rome by a wide margin, its strange how no one worships them. could it be? Could be it because they weren't white?
keep on simpin serf. The time for emperors and kings should be over, but here we have 'little people' begging for the ruling class to just spit a little of their bread crumbs into their mouths. its ridiculous
As far as I know, the mongols ended slavery. That's the big no no.
Yes, like simping for the people of Venice who are allowed to live in the pretty city.
But telling me to not simp for Bezos. Instead U should beg in style and protest for more handouts.
However, I am not simping for Bezos but pointing out the double standard for Venice.
Bezos is just one of the richest people. He hasn't created the system. Others did and do. Focussing on Bezos isn't helpful to understand what needs to change.
You earlier "If it wasnt for people like bezos venice wouldn't exist!"
you now; "yeah bezos isn't to blame its the system!"
hes part of the system, literally you are going to bat for a rich man then backing down to save face. "please spit in my mouth, bezos!" is your thesis and don't even try to pretend anymore. I would say its you who has double standards here but its clear you have no standards.
keep licking that boot.
Yep. Dude bought the system.
In the same way that it is true that Bezos hasn't built Venice but the workers. Bezos organizes the trading but he is just new money. His influence must be much smaller than his wealth.
Bezos organizes the trading?
he absolutely does not, he pays people to do that for him. You fool.
Ok
