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.

Can I buy one and ship it to the US? Only a small fraction of us actually like Trump. The rest of the numbers are blown up by the media to seem bigger than they are, then another chunk didn't even vote at all.
Those who didn't vote in the 2024 election are equally culpable to the Trumpoids in my eyes. It was very clear what Trump stood for, yet they didn't bother to go out and vote against fascism.
My favorites are the ones who claimed they couldn't vote for a genocide.
Now they have three genocides and two invasions.
Especially when Harris, as VP, supported investigating Israel so they could shut down the rule forcing them to supply arms to Israel.
It's my opinion that she only reversed course to get campaign donations. Looking at her voting history she was the closest to Sanders out of everyone.
Seems to me very likely that Harris would have been an above average president.
But sadly Americans chose the fascist psycho over Harris, because they didn't think Harris was left wing enough, or that she didn't support the Palestinians enough.
The logic being: I'd rather be killed by a fascist psycho than not be helped as much as I want by a way more moderate person, that isn't actively supporting killing me.
Non-white and woman surely counted as well in some circles.
That's too much logical thought.
Much closer to "woman not like me bad, man like me good" than anything else.
I admit I sometimes forget the sexist racist aspect, and I think you are right in that was a significant factor too. But it doesn't make it less stupid I suppose as you hint at, it actually just makes it even more stupid.
Oh, for sure.
the real reason is "sexism, and racism" even those that dont initially support voting republicans they have those biases in them, but arnt as flagrant about it, because of where they live is unacceptable. as a poc you can tell when people are changed thier body language over a POC vs a white person when interacting with them.
I bet it's true but it's so stupid.
I'd rather lose my healthcare than vote for a woman. 🤣
I made a joke with my friends in 2024, back when Harris was announced to be the presidential candidate for the Democratic party
Turns out America chose fascism
Don't give them logic.
Saw a post denouncing Mamdani and AOC for not being pro-Palestinian enough.
They'd probably denounce Hamas for not being pro-Palestinian enough.
That's not that hard of a position.
i feel like the ones that dint vote, and voted for rfk or stein are republicans that dont are "embarrsed' the other group is the totally "this has no effect on me now"
I guess they didn't pay heed to what John Morley stated more than 100 years ago:
"Politics is a field where the choice lies constantly between two blunders."
It's not make-a-wish. Most of the time, you have to vote for the lesser evil.
Someone downvoted you for making sense.
Old NYC Mayor Ed Koch said it best.
"If you agree with me 51% of the time, vote for me. If you agree with me 100% of the time, see a psychiatrist."
What's your favorite Obama war?
