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.

"I don't think there is any European country that would arrest Netanyahu,"
Anyone not complying with the ICC arrest warrant not only deletigimitizes the ICC, but also makes themselves complicit in a genocide. This is literally criminal.
Why should I follow any laws anymore if my leadership takes a massive dump on the most important ones?
It is even more ironic as Belgium has been the battlefield for warring larger nations like Germany and France in Europe. Belgium has a strong incentive to uphold a rules based international order. Undermining the attempts at building such an order instead will be to the detriment of it.
Belgians should take note. The actions of their government now will pave the paths to their descendents being butchered in a future war without rules.
No worries, most of us saw this coming when the asshat got to be pm. The asshat is all talk and no actions, which is why the city he is major of ( antwerp ) has such much issues with the drugs mafia after they got kicked out of rotterdam ( the netherlands ). It made his city the ship dock for european drugs cartels as its the second largest dock in the neighbourhood.
Ive hated the fucker for years, yet here we are.
The problem is he's the leader of the nva, the centre right party and they have been shouting right shit for years. And now that the political scene in europe is getting more right with every election, he finally got to power. Instantly i saw that what expected was true: all talk, but no actions. He said for years "look at the new pm, he cant even get an agreement who gets what power. If i was in power..."
Ye, it took him nearly a year too lawl
I guess he is sympathetic to genocide do the Belgium's past endeavors in Africa.
Want to know the worst thing? The Belgian Free State was a notable improvement over when it was the personal property of King Leopold, which is fucking insane when you consider the fact that the Belgian Free State committed a massacre over a fucking socker game.
Actually having seen what some Hispanic folks will do over fucking socker I can come up with at least a handful of things that could reasonably lead to that outcome.
Actually having seen casual racism upvoted on Lemmy I can come up with at least a few ways that liberalism leads to fascism.
They're all complicit in genocide already. That's probably part of why they don't want an investigation.
