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.

Noone said Trump was going to be better. We said that the Democrats needed to be punished for supporting genocide and Israelis fascism in an effort to make them reconsider that. This is not about winning an immediate political win, as the US has many people quite contempt with supporting a genocide.
However in the long run punishing the Democrats for supporting genocide and Israeli fascism will make the party abandon that position or perish to a better progressive party.
This is why AIPAC gained power in the first place. They established the ability to punish and make the party lose that opposed them. Not to make their supporter win, but to make their opponent lose. This way they made sure that both parties would make the US the little bitch of Israel.
And now that Harris lost, with many voters being alienated because of the Democratic party supporting the genocide and Israeli fascism, AIPAC is doing overtime to downplay the effect Gaza had on the election and Israel has upped its propaganda budget extensively.
We are flipping the script and it is working, but it takes more time. And it takes a look beyond the next election, which is why the propaganda effort for the last election was to make all target audiences of the Democratic party just panick over this election instead of thinking long term. This is not just a play by the Israel lobby but also by the "liberal" side of the Oligarchy that are represented by the Democratic party.
No, some people on Lemmy told me that Biden was a known bad, and Harris being a Democrat would be following the party lines, and so is also a known bad.
Trump hadn't waged war against Palestine, so he was an unknown. And an unknown is better than a known bad.
That is what multiple people on Lemmy told me.
I'm willing to bet that the Democrats don't even associate their loss with Israel one bit.
EDIT: Also, there's someone else in another reply to my comment who is saying Trump is better
