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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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 Gringos are going have their hands full if they piss off Central and South America. Not to mention, the US economy will fucking choke because Mexico is the USA's largest trading partner.
Ffffuuuuuck I would be so pleased of UNASUR put the US in it's place.
México es parte de América del Norte compa
Let me translate for him: "I'm going to annex several middle/south American countries, after which I'm going to invade Canada and Greenland."
That megalomaniac needs to be put down stat
Why does something need to be done with Mexico?i thought there was a big beautiful wall keeping all the drugs and crime out?
If that happens it could be quite ugly for the 1.6 million US expats there.
What do you think would happen with the millions of Mexicans living in the US? I mean, how much would they accept until the bough breaks?
Not to mention that many of the Mexican drug cartels have ex Mexican military, trained by the US. This is not going to be the same as the quick'n easy roll-em-in invasion they had in Iraq.
I figured they were next, he’ll use the cartels as an excuse to send the military into the Mexican border states.
This world is about to explode.
Welcome to the new multi polar world
Honestly whatever, factory reset.
If only! We won't be that lucky. They will just revert to feudalism, with absolute AI surveillance and thought control. Orwell was right, he knew. I mean we all knew. We just sat like frogs in the water slowly getting boiled.
Slowly?
Yes, slowly. This has been in the works for decades, and people like myself have been screaming about it and promptly ignored
it is really exhausting and not worth the effort.
Fuck going quietly into that bad night. We can't do much, but what little we can, we must.
Yeah, since at least Reagan.
Orwell was either clairvoyant and had Divine visions of the future or he was a time traveler. I'm convinced.
He was intimately familiar with the Soviet modus operandi. What he talked about was a reality in Eastern Europe for many decades. My own family way back when told me that every apartment had a speaker installed in the living room which would spout propaganda- you could turn the volume off but you could never turn the radio off.
I've said for a long time that the USA has been going more and more towards a Stalinist society, and I stand by that claim.
Them or Cuba
Someone needs to catch Trump and give him la chancla.
I know I won't, but I do hope to see him suffer mightily before he kicks the bucket far too late. I suppose you could argue that's what he's already doing.
He'll pull a Kissinger and the pure hate and evil inside his rotten corpse of a heart will keep him alive for another 10 miserable years.
He should have died of a massive coronary during The Apprentice tapings.
The real WMDs
It's all good
By the time China attacks Taiwan, the US will be entangled in so many conflicts, it won't bother to respond.
That's their goal. Same with Russia and Europe. They're trying to divide the world up between the three nations, but the idiots don't realize neither of them will stop there
"All the lephtismts likening Trump to Hitler are OUT OF THEIR MINDS!"
Netanyahu is the Hitler, clearly
Double Hitlers are not mutually exclusive.
Netanyahu as Hitler and Trump as Mussolini is a pretty tight fit.
And Putin as Stalin.
The good old trifecta.
History may not repeat, but it sure as hell rhymes.
Human nature doesn't change. We can only create systems as justly as we can to prohibit and make it as difficult as we can to stop those who seek to harm mankind and society rather than elevate and evolve it.
They like to say it’s 100,000 but the real number is 300,000 in my opinion!
