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.

After the last elections the EU should be terrified of Nazis. Every bit of surveillance they get through now means less work for the fuckers later if they are able to grasp power.
May I kindly remind everyone of the Jew registers? The Nazis came and all the paper work was already done, good for them.
The EU is such a fantastic idea, but with shit like this they shoot themselves regularly in the foot.
Don't worry, we are already at that point. So called social democrats are mostly authoritarians and either protofascists or openly working to make fascism happen again. The so called conservatives usually are in with fascism again.
In Germany the government of Berlin, yes the supposed hip and free Berlin, had the bank account of a jewish political organization frozen by the state bank and demanded a list of all members with addresses claiming the group would be anitsemitic. The major of Berlin is a fascist who suggested police should release the names of juvenile suspects so the public can judge based on name, whether they are "real Germans" as opposed to just holding German citizenship. That was briefly before the election after which the social democrats threw away a left majority to govern with this fascist. Subsequently we have seen massive police violence, attacks on freedom of arts and science, freedom of press and freedom of assembly.
Currently there is a scandal revolving around the "liberal" federal minister of education in Germany who demanded the ministry to cut the funding of scientists who signed an open letter demanding peaceful campus protests not to be beaten up by cops and the government to recognize students rights to assembly and freedom of speech. Note that the open letter explicitly did not endorse the position of the student protests but merely the fundamental constitutional right to protest.
Fascism is not on the rise because of the Fascists. It is on the rise because the so called "centre" of european politics increasingly are becoming fascists themselves. "Liberal", "Green", "Social Democrat", "Conservative"... In many country these have been opening up to fascism extensively while larping as being against fascism because they too hang a rainbow flag out for pride month.
