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.

This new grifter rage bait outrage economy bullshit needs to end. We need to go back to the days when talking like this made you an unemployed pariah
You'll hear it repeated by some Reform knobhead within a week.
And these people want to not be called nazis...
If my history is correct i believe nazis took murican ideas on this topic. So it may be a pride thing.
Yep, Nazi leadership was impressed by and took cues from US racial segregation.
And Henry Ford's antisemitic and eugenicist rantings.
More reason to hate the "you can have any color as long as its black" guy
That was my first thought, too. They get pissed when they get compared to Nazis, but then they spew stuff like this.
If you don't want to be considered a Nazi, stop saying and doing Nazi shit. It's as simple as that.
They are trying to manifest their own destiny again.
I hope their destiny meets the same fate as their inspirations.
Not even the Nazis were crazy enough to demand "forced sterilization of all foreign visitors prior to entry". The Nazis!
Even North Korea doesn't need to be that extreme, and they are currently the most mono-ethnic country on Earth. These guys just want to be cruel, the rest is just an excuse.
Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.
White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
Critical Thinking Skills are the most important thing a student can learn, and it should be the primary objective of every student's education. Critical Thinking Skills are the best defense against propaganda, which is why the MAGA party is against it.
Even though it is how humans are supposed to think properly, the Right has actually claimed that it is bad for students, because it encourages them to question authority figures. To normal people, that's a good thing, but for MAGA, it's terrible. They demand undying loyalty and obedience. There is no room for Critical Thinking Skills.
Dot forget fat!
Y'all got any more of those sterilizations?
Pure, unadulterated fascism. If you support this, look in the mirror to see what a bonafide Nazi looks like in 2026.
They somehow manage to top the Nazis
The Nazi’s didn’t wear face coverings like these cowards do.
The Nazis also didn't sterilise all foreigners. I guess it is stereotypical for the US to do everything bigger and louder than everyone else...
yet still people want to visit usa. personally i would rather visit north korea if forced to choose.
America is getting dumber and meaner by the minute.
On the one hand I feel like let's not give these people media attention, on the other holy fuck.
Combine gov. type shit
It is time for us to shift the Overton window back with opposite and equally absurd proposals.
We need to open foreign maternity centers so that we can grow the number of US citizens.
Yea yea, insane sterilization comment. But y'all he wants to literally break up the United States.
- Dissolution of the Union
Over the 14th amendment. You know, the one we passed as a direct outcome of a failed Civil War insurrection.
"Sterilization" full on Reich shit
You should know that the US Supreme Court ruled in Buck v. Bell that the government has the authority to sterilize citizens. A case that has never been overturned.
We've seen how these people feel about non-citizens, so they wouldn't think twice before extending that to them as well.
These people are extremely comfortable saying horrific things out loud. This is the behavior of psychopaths.
Imagine getting chemically castrated for having a layover in Atlanta
Who said anything about chemically?
"You have a 6 hour layover. That's plenty of time to hack off your balls. This way please..."
As someone who has spent far too much time in the Atlanta Layover Airport, I would say it's worth looking into.
