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.

I wish I were as optimistic as you. There have probably been dozens of times that he should have been "screwed" by the thing he's getting away with or the people he's pissing off by getting away with a thing. My guess, and I hope I am proven wrong because I don't really follow the conservative crazysphere, is that a few of these people will break rank. Some of the true believers may be lost for good or at least for a while (Dan Bongino or whoever may quit and say some things that don't get much media coverage), while some others (Alex Jones) will talk trash for a bit then gradually or overnight change their focus to something that isn't this to redirect their followers' attentions and bring them back to loving MAGA wholesale.
Edit: corrected a word
as long as putin/russia isnt directing thier propaganda to "forget it", right now putin is kinda pissed at trump for suggesting attacking russia, hence why the troll farms arnt supporting him right now.(yes we know fox and many of the grifters are funded by russia so they get thier orders from them)
The stakes are too high, it goes way beyond "losing your job" or being embarrassed and shunned by the establishment. Their lives are at stake, and not only that but their family, their extended families' lives, North Korea style.
Nobody would believe them anyway, it would get buried, these people own the media, they own the government, they own the police, the feds, they single handedly own this planet financially and militarily and they own YOU.
Brave new fucking world indeed.
People saw this coming decades upon decades ago, and blew the whistles until they got blue in the face, and yet everyone silently went into the gas chambers anyway.
Precisely because they controlled the truth.
Welcome to post Orwellian society, the gloves and the masks are finally coming off, they don't even need to hide anymore, the coup is complete, and they have AI now!
Let's party!
