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.

The most damning thing about the AFD isn't their political or moral compass, it's that the billionaires (and strangely enough - the Russians) want them in power.
That's not really strange. Russia has wanted to destabilize and weaken Europe and the USA for a long time, and getting far right parties running things is a proven formula.
Yep. In Poland they seem to support Konfederacy party, which is polish version of AfD
Nah, Konfa is just a bunch of late stage capitalist libertarian manchildren, they're enthusiastically in the kneeling end of the fascists gloryhole, but they're not actually nazis... just yet.
AfD though? Fucking wehraboos. Hang them without mercy.
That would be Janusz Korwin Mikke
I don't think it is strange at all that the Russians want them in power since the Russians are also Nazis.
Putting the socialism back in national socialism
Ah, so they are sauerkraut Republicans.
sauerkraut MGGA
I'd hate to lump the 5 Republicans who don't tacitly or explicitly support Trump in with the rest of them...
Putin is colluding with Israel as we speak, I guess he can put his antisemitism on hold to gain power.
I guess AFD means "America First Deuschland"...
It all goes together with the no integrity nor good values, and matches how the orange likes putin too, more authoritarian and less freedom and quality of life, just like Russia, Argentina and since maga. Their propaganda to blame minorities and double down never worked, at least for the majority to have good lives, so they should all learn from it and not repeat it, but they don't learn, need more suffering before change course, and later claim they didn't know.
