Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

I haven't seen a political party, which has an actual scope and vision to have a feasable plan and approach to tackle the problems we're actually facing. The old ideals have died a while ago, and the stuff that used to bind us and keep us together aa groups, has disappeared.
This new world we live in has new unique problems and complexity, which actually can only maybe be solved in an worldy international stage. But, the priorities, cultures, educations , etc, are too divergent region wise.
In a sense a world government and a world carved up in regions or parts of regions might provide a system, to translate citizens preferences and their specific problems into a resemblance of a workable political representation.
Imo, as politicians have no clue what's even happening, they comeup with very simple symbolic politics, simply to garner a position, and appease voters. In the end their results might be questionable at best, but we do sense something like a better or a worse choice, if you will.
Since the world has become interconnected no one ciuntry or people, can sustain a model based on self reliance. With our im& export markets we export our own problems, and naturally import other countries problems.
I think the changes of late, are too many and too quick for any sane person to comprehend. We are all spilling all the ideas, good and bad, over to each other and we just sort of choose a middle path somewhere in this chaos, while simultaneously desperately clinging to what ia perceived as a ritualism of our idea of a sane political, economical and material world.
But everyone knows it's fake. Especially the Billionaires of these times, and Politicians they know it's all bullshit. And we know it too, but we need a sense a normalcy, so we grab anything we can to justifify our discontent , give it a name, find a solution. Imo, humans don't want to face their biggest fear: themselves. I mean wtf are we and who do we want to be?!
My rambling morning thoughts, but that's what I saw after reading some good comments on the rise of the right , and hopefully the left.
Add.And, if we do want to find out who we are and what do we want to be,as tribe, region, country, freedom is 100% essential.
