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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Let's be blunt:
'Murica is a root cause of this, not just because of their stupidity, but because they export it to the rest of the world
If they weren't so fucking stupid, they could be leaders
Their scientists and working their bollocks off making life-saving vaccines and doing amazing analysis, but their administration and population are basically toddlers
Don't blame America, blame the billionaires forcing propaganda down the throats of millions. It's happening all around the world.
If other people follow the US governments stupidity then that's on them.
All the signs are there to make better decisions and not do that.
USA didn't make this shit in a lab and spread it. So no, it isn't their fault. (And to be clear since people with low IQ gravitate to this comment, No country did that. It was highlighting the fact that no this isn't a single countries fault)
And last I checked there were rich fucks from a lot of different countries on those cruise ships that knew there was something going on and jumped ship and ran into their respective countries anyway.
Oh
You're stupid
I thought as much.
So you think that they did? If that's so, please tell me more about stupid.
Or are you saying its still Americas fault for it spreading even though it didn't even originate here?
If so, make that explainable in a way that isn't stupid.
Unless a country made that shit in a lab (which is stupid because that didn't happen) or allowed it to spread from their own borders then how is it any of their faults?
You seem to love voicing your opinion a lot while calling others stupid so I look forward to the thought provoking conversation I'm sure you will have about this.
You're following me around like a lost puppy
Do you have a crush on me? 👉👈🥹
Yeah so no opinion you want to share now? Surprising. You were so loud before.
I know it can be heard to keep up, but this is all the same thread of a single comment you made.
You called others stupid a lot in this same comment section of a comment you made so I thought wow let's get an intellectuals opinion on the subject.
Sad you don't want to play the game anymore. You seemed to have a lot of very smart opinions, after all. You should share them. Let us all know how it is the US fault about a virus spreading.
Maybe you could teach us something!
I'll bet by the way you dodged that lab comment that you believe some dumb shit like that. But then call others stupid.
Oh,
I don't want to leave you with any doubt whatsoever that I think you're stupid
But you also seem to be racist, or at least prone to conspiracy theories brewed up by other stupid people
I'm not going to engage with you any more
So again not able to make a coherent response to the bullshit you peddled.
I am not surprised.
Also I'm not a racist and you jumping to that conlusion with zero evidence is further proof that your coherence needs some work.
And nope. I brought up the conspiracy theory shit since that would literally be the only way someone could try to blame a single country for a communicable disease and stated that that was stupid as fuck and didn't happen twice. (Pay attention)
I know its hard to keep up. But hey at least you didn't have to think too hard about a reply to your bullshit! You can just call people racist and avoid having to explain or take accountability for anything you say!
Good strategy you'll get far in life with it.
I'd probably opt for that strategy too if I didn't know what the fuck I was talking about.
Let's be blunt
Your just a xenophobic idiot, who's ignoring everything around them.
America is about as much of a root cause for this as any other country is.
The admin of every country with out expectation is fucking retarded as fuck. LITERALLY all of them.
The fact that your inane comment is riddled with spelling mistakes doesn't lead me to believe that you're someone with an opinion of any value
That is reinforced by the fact that you insist that every country is badly run, using a slur in the process
You are just another American who is upset that the rest of the world holds your country, and a significant number of your people (not all of them, but most) in contempt
Personally I feel that ridiculing someones writing is petty and elitist. I’ve met some nice and smart people who don’t write gud and can’t express themselves via text, possibly due to some different neurological wiring.
Yeah definitely can't say all countries are poorly ran or at least ran by complete psychopaths that don't care about their people.
However, out of a list of the top countries listed by GDP all of the top 17 are absolutely ran by rich psychopaths that don't care about their citizens.
So out of all the countries in the world by GDP, the top 17 are ran poorly and exploit the working class.
So I can see what the other guy is trying to say here. Can you?
From your other comments, I can tell your aren’t an American living in America. I didn’t vote for this. I vehemently stand against it. I go to rallies, curved all our spending, and voting for a different country and hopefully a planet for my kids that isn’t fucked. I speak my mind in person to everyone.
The US is not helping itself or anyone else currently. Fact. But shut the fuck up about how stupid we are. Pull yourself up by your boot straps. The system has been failing our population, intentionally. For decades.
There are other players on the world stage using other countries like puppets through our politicians. Representatives casting their vote against what their population voted for. (Ie datacenters and support for Israel).
I started to reply to you, but after reading your reply a few times, I've realised that you're not worth it
When you said "pull yourself up by the bootstraps", you showed that you don't actually understand anything
Most of all, if you had actually understood my position, you would know that I don't hate all Americans. I'm marrying one soon, in fact.
I think that the American people are victims, but too many of you are victims by choice, and the real victims of the regime have been fucked from the start.
Native Americans
The descendents of people brought there as slaves
But there are plenty of dumb fuck white people who will gladly see everyone get hurt, just as long as they are told that they are better, not because they do anything differently, but just because they hate the idea of anyone who doesn't look like them being their equal
I recognise that there are good people in the US
But there's a disproportionate number of people who are cruel and hateful
We all know that your education system has been gutted.
We know that the system is designed to pit people against each other and keep you all desperate.
What we don't understand is the hate, and the way you will shit on each other to try to get ahead in a system that has been engineered specifically to make sure that you stay right where you are
And so many of you are stupid enough to think that somehow, you will be different, if only you can shit on everyone else hard enough
This might not be you, but it's too many of you.
"I started to reply to you, but after reading your reply a few times, I've realized you're not worth it"
goes on for nine paragraphs
Lol
My thoughts exactly. Not sure where he finds the time. I’m too busy being shafted by this government working my 60 hour work weeks to get back to this. A lot of assumptions from this ass hole. Thinks his country is immune to political sabotage. WOW is me because he thinks I didn’t outright lose friends over the hate this admin and past admins have been spewing.
I feel sympathy really for every one stupid out there. Sometimes they don’t know how to remove the inshitification clogging their arteries and ears. Suffering is suffering regardless of where or whom is doing it, and I don’t stand in support of atrocities in the present nor in the past.
Save your breath Lemmy is an extremely racist and xenophobic place.
You have about as much chance to convince your avg loud mouthed European to stop being a racist xenophobic asshole as you do getting a south baptist good ol boy to stop being a racist xenophobic asshole.
There's not a single community iv come across on basically the entirety of Lemmy that isn't just filled with hateful pricks. Sort of like a few furry ones that actively ban idiots for being xenophobic assholes.
But most of the time the mods never give a fuck so long as it's Americans or Indians being attacked.
That's a lot of words to say "I'm stupid"
Lol you couldn't even use words to explain your position on how you think the US is responsible for the outbreak and spreading of hantavirus but call others stupid?
You could even just use a small amount of words to enlighten us all bud.
Can't do that either huh?
The nerve of this dumbass.
