A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

He added: “We will always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the UK, but they have to remain strong in the face of Wokeism, and other problems put before them.”
Does Trump think attacking Iran is over people being woke? Wtf is this even supposed to mean
"Woke" is basically meaningless now.
It's code for "anything I don't like or agree with"
it isn't meaningless, if someone is complaining about woke stuff, it tells you that they are idiotic cunts.
Well that's mostly true but I believe that for Trump he's now just adding it into his salad because he rememebers it works for his base, just like 'Mexicans' a few years ago, but thay doesn't mean he's able to connect it to reality anymore
my point still stands, it proves he's an idiotic cunt
That was always the point. Words have power, and woke was a powerful word emerging in the early-mid US referring to awareness of racial prejudice and discrimination. The Trump admin purposely co-opted the word to use in as much bullshit as possible to make it meaningless, and take away it's power. It worked.
If you don't wanna murder innocents and colonize, you're woke and gay, NGL.
“We will always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the UK,
Anybody who believes that is a fucking moron.
Nah, he might just be sleeping through a cabinet meeting. You know he's lying when his lips are movin.
In 2022 maga lawyers working for Ron Desantis in Florida had to legally define woke:
"the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them."
So I guess Trump is saying "he'll always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the UK, but they have to remain strong in the face of the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them, and other problems put before them."
It would appear he's asking UK to ignore objective reality, and other problems.
