Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

We're going to have a world war against the USA and Israel. It might not be today, tomorrow or even in a few years... but I feel like it's inevitable. They are rogue terrorist states and are responsible some of the most heinous war crimes in recorded history. They need to be stopped.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 40 points 5 days ago (2 children)

No way Europe meaningfully stands up to Uncle Sam, and heinous Israeli-American war crimes are nothing new. Trump still hasn't actually outdone the Iraq war, for example.

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Europe and many.in the world are waiting that he gets voted out on 2028 in the meantime they are just reacting

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world -2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

They won't because Europe is always on the loosing side and getting in any war is bad, against the us, let's be honest, it would be a disaster. Europe have to protect their people too.
The war that will change the world will be US x China. China is a military superpower and it is surpassing the US, or at least matching them, little by little.
That's the scary part for me. they will end the world

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 4 days ago

They won't because Europe is always on the loosing side and getting in any war is bad, against the us, let's be honest, it would be a disaster.

I meant diplomatically and economically, not necessarily militarily. There are cards that can be played without getting into a hot (or even cold) war with the US; (most) European countries just don't use them because A: Their elites profit from US war crimes too, and B: Most of them are happy being US vassal states.

[–] toad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Oh nooo yellow people

[–] taygaloocat@leminal.space 14 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Maybe I'm ignorant but if every English speaking nation stood together and told the US that they were being evil and doing wrong, and that they'd no longer join in with their invasions, the US would probably stand down.

Too bad they're all pussies (Australia included)

[–] KelvarCherry@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

This might have been the case under sane-but-horrible leaders like George W. Bush, Mike Pence, and the last Democrats, but I think this outcome is improbable as 1) that international united refusal didn't happen when George W. Bush waged war over lies in the Middle East; 2) This administration is composed of hyped-up christo-fascists and their sycophants, and is goaded by oligarchs who want the destruction of the USA so they can buy up what remains.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It’s fucking wild that W is a beacon of sanity now. You aint wrong but its still fucking wild

haha I paused a bit as I wrote that, too; but yeah. W Bush was stupid, a bad public speaker, and a warmonger... but he knew when to listen to his advisors.

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I can just hope that the orange despot is the bottom and if we go even lower we’ll be back to the Stone Age level civilization if we’re lucky.

No us is out of control under trump, no reason nor logic will influence the US unfortunately

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

I don't know what people are talking about here, but Trump is an evil asshole and this will never work.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I don't think so. They can't manufacture their weapons if the rest of the world stops exporting parts and material inputs to them. They are very far from self-reliant.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago

That goes both ways, the US is the world's arms dealer for a reason; not just to "make money", but to insure that your military is dependent on the USA.

[–] ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 8 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

Just like the rogue terrorist state Russia needs to be stopped in their attempted annexations and political psyops.

Or China needs to be stopped in their aggressions against Taiwan and ethnic cleansing of Uyghurs and other "undesirable" people.

I feel like there is no winning scenario left in this.

Who are "we" anyway?

[–] toad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What about Putin guys???? Russia is bad guys!! Guys??? What are you doing over there guys???

[–] ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Are you still going on about this? How often do you want to reply to me?

Or are you one of those Russian bots just spouting the same stuff over and over?

[–] toad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Yes i'm a Russian bot. I'm currently in siberian gulag and this is my job. Putin sent me here after i farted too loud

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

All countries who is doing or supporting grave crimes agsinst humanity should be help acvoutsble including your trashy country

[–] toad@sh.itjust.works -3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Always whatabouting huh?

None of those is led by a documented pedophile

[–] ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh wow, yeah if they're at least undocumented it's all good.

Just because Trump is basically the worst possible example of a human being there can be, I'm not gonna believe for a second that any other ruling politicians or oligarchs are saints. Just that those others have better control over the media, which Trump wants to achieve as well.

[–] toad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

China didn't bomb any school lately. Sounds like you're looking for excuses for what your side is doing.

Which makes sense given feddit overt support for zionism

[–] ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago

And what apparent side would that be, if I may ask?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

This is a gross generalization. It's like aliens looking down on earth and saying "we really have to do something about these humans."

Like, sure. We, as a species, might have earned that... But, is it all humans?

The right shift in power across nations could solve this. It starts with people acknowledging that the real issue is rogue governments. Right now in the United States, our government is rogue.

Random people born in Russia don't want to kill Ukrainians any more than every American wants to kill random people in the Middle East. Our humanity is important, and where you're born and live doesn't dictate your loyalty to empowered dictators.

The movement that needs to happen is one where the people rise up in all nations, and unite. It starts with language. America doesn't need to be destroyed any more than Russia, but their governments require radical changes.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Doesnt work that way. Evil is not a country. You can attack it and try to destroy it, and if you succeed, another country will take its place.

But yeah, its worth doing anyway since it gives temporary relief. Otherwise the logic would be to not try to stop oppressive countries, and that obviously doesnt work either.

What this place needs is a big spiritual upgrade of humans, so they would stop becoming evil just for money and power.

[–] brachiosaurus@mander.xyz 0 points 3 days ago

All european governments are supporting and helping israel government don't make it an USA thing.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago

This is such a comically delusional and out of touch comment that can only be found in the bowels of Lemmy

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Is your country doing business with the rogue terrorist states? is your country buying arms from the USA, or using the US Dollar to trade?

If you're going to stop the USA, you better ramp up arms production yourselves.

The US has armed a lot of the world, and that world is dependent on the USA for specialists, training, parts, ammunition, F-35s, and so on, an endless list.

They did that for a reason, not just to make money, but to make DEPENDENCE. The first taste is free.

[–] socsa@piefed.social -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Just keep this in mind during the next election when you see the US suspects pushing "both sides" and "corporate dem" narratives. Don't be a sucker.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Don't be a sucker, vote for our private organization's billionaire-curated mook!

The Ds won't save you, it's not 1938 any more. Biden was a 50-year hack and an embarrassment. Trump is a travesty and an embodiment of what you get when corporations are people and cash is free speech.

You won't be provided with a Messiah to vote for, I'm afraid, not by the Democrats anyway

I voted Democrat, but I know it's a joke, like voting for the next American Idol. I dunno how you could possibly take it seriously
