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'm gonna be brutally honest here: unless it's possible to reverse climate change impacts, the US was always going to invade and annex Canada. Even if we had a string of only progressive Presidents leading up to that point. The southern half of our country is about to become agriculturally useless and nearly uninhabitable. The only place for the US to go is north.
Hi, you’re not invading us. If you do - everyone dies. Canadians are extremely fucking petty. If we can’t have what belongs to us - no one is getting it. We’ll uranium the waterways, and burn our own power stations. We will burn our earth and torch the sky before Yanks take one square centimetre from us. You will see.
Many of us are already prepping for this circumstance. Just try...
As an American, just let me know how I can help.
Depose your dictator.
I absolutely support this response. The US shouldn't be allowed to swing its military might around to extort or absorb its neighbors. That said, it absolutely will and I hope it pays dearly for it.
The US can flatten our cities in 5 mins but there’s a lot more to Canada besides the cities. We would torch it all before letting the fucking Yanks take it.
Because the US is inherently a "murder and pillage" kind of nation, right? You're certainly not saying things couldn't be worked out in the long run between understanding and humane people, right?
The U.S. IS inherently a "murder and pillage" kind of nation, yes. It's kind of the only thing we've ever done. If you're from the U.S. (like me) and you keep asking yourself "how did we get here?" Or "what happened to the America of my youth", then reading a little bit about history could be helpful. Or shit, talk to any Native about what their history, culture, language is, and then follow up with "What happened to them?".
The United States of America is a failed experiment. It's time to put it down.
My soul is rock hard after reading your reply. Having said that, I wish those who are more ignorant than evil could be saved from the coming shitstorm. 😔
Or, the southern part of the US dies the fuck off, and the average IQ of the US increases at the same time.
Did you notice even the last Top Gun movie had Tom Cruise dropping bombs and stealing planes from a country that looks VERY MUCH like Canada?
