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. 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 keep making the tariffs worse, and when you agreed to do what I wanted for border security, I made the tariffs worse, and if you don't do what I want, I'll make the tariffs worse, and if you start working together to negate how bad the tariffs are, I'll make the tariffs worse!"
If this only moves in one direction regardless of what anyone does, prepare for the entire world to just act like you do not exist at all.
I just assume tariffs will hit 9000% eventually.
That is... if Trump and his fuckers realize taxes and percentages can exceed 100%.
It is already a lost cause.
At some point these countries just need to stop buying American. What’s he going to do? Go to war with them? I mean… Elon already sued advertisers for boycotting his Twitter…
Reminds me of that scene from the emperor's new groove
"Tell us where they are and I'll burn your house down!"
"Don't you mean or?"
Hey canada, wanna do it even harder now? - best love, europe
Aye, good fellow, thou speak’st with the wisdom of the ancients! Let it be known across the land that Europe and Canada, bound by blood, wit, and old-world cunning, shall stand as one against the brash and boisterous Yanks!
Let them boast of their might and prattle of their triumphs, yet we shall meet them with a union most steadfast, a league of wisdom and steel, tempered in the fires of history. With Europe’s age-old craft and Canada’s hardy spirit, we shall make merry sport of them, and with jest and jesting, lay them low in fair contest!
So raise thy flag, grasp thy quill or sword, and let us set forth, for victory shall be ours, and the Yanks shall rue the day they thought to best the Old World and its northern kin! What say’st thou?
I say: Lets bring the rebelling colonies back in line! No matter how bleak the days may seem. As long as the free world stands together, a fortress of true democracy, true freedom, we shall prevale.
Rise now we shall, work today for a golden future tomorrow! That those that come after us will say "see these mighty people, ordinary men, woman and others. Standing ground, standing firm in the face of opression. Not bending to get comfort, but withstanding hardship and let the rotten corps of their enemy decay by itself!"
An age as golden as canadas Maple syrup, as golden as french cheese, as golden as german beer, as golden as italian instruments, as golden as polish roofs, as golden as the scandinavian hair, as golden as iberian drylands! A golden future awaits us once we gotten rid of the bold eagles chains!

No! You're not allowed to have any new boyfriends either!!
Lmfao what a fat fucking turd of a country, go fuck yourself America, forever.
Enjoy being leader of the world of 1 country. See how far that gets you.
America has 1/10th the natural resource per capita as Canada, and most of Canada's mineral deposits are still unexplored. You want a trade war, you can have one you dumb fucks.
America IS a country of putresecent fatfuck ignorant rednecks.
I mean you don't have to go very far to prove that. As I look outside my window I see one.
What are you gonna do? Tariff yourself into isolation? While Europe, UK, Canada, Mexico and possibly the rest of the British commonwealth trade and work more together to make up for the loss of the US?
If you think you don't need us then stop crying about it. Just do it. The free world has called your bluff, so either admit you're weak and take the loss graciously, or take the consequences of your continued actions (though we already know which option will be chosen).
Bring it on, homeboy. 🖕
What are you gonna do? Tariff yourself into isolation?
Yes, I believe they that was Puti- I mean, Trump’s plan…
Yet it somehow doesn't strike him as off at all that long standing allies suddenly feel a need to band against us. It's a mystery I say, maybe they just woke up and had a bad morning...
We woke up from a one night stand with the US and have sobered up.
Hey now!... aww, who am I kidding. You're right.
On the off chance any trump supporters are reading this. We are, hopefully, banding closer together because your leaders are alienating you from us. We never wanted this trade war and we never asked to have our sovereignty threatened.
It's not against you. It's for us. You're stepping away from your allies, so we have to be closer.
They might have some things to say about that if they could read
The president of the United States of America is angry that starting a trade war has started a trade war. I would be appalled, if this wasn't just par for the course at this point.
He only seems to have one card.
He keeps picking it up and playing it over and over, but somehow we're still not impressed
Trump is the biggest baby on the planet
Prove me wrong
Meaning Canada and the EU are onto to someting 😈
Ok, I'm just an armchair conspiracy theorist, but it just dawned on me that is all possibly still part of Russia's take over the world plan.
If Russia wants to take Europe, he needs the US.
How would you get at least the dumbest citizens to turn against Europe? By making European goods prohibitively expensive, tanking the economy, and blaming it on Europe. Then, he'll continue to double down, and force us into a full wartime economy by re-activating the draft, and pulling Gen-zers and younger millennials into it. Saying the whole time "Canada and Europe left us no choice."
Would that work? It worked for Germany. Our economy isn't nearly shitty enough yet, but through this process he might be able to do it. If y'all think it's getting bad, it's gonna get even worse very quickly.
The trump regime was designed to TANK the US economy so that stocks, businesses, and industries can be bought by billionaires at rock bottom prices.
All is going according to plan.
Is the fight you picked not going as well as you had hoped, Donald?
"… in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had". So Europe is a country now 😏?
Nice to see Canada poutine him in his place.
Trump: Stop trying to benefit from my stupidity and ineptitude!
Gazillion percent tariff incoming, you did it to yourselves Eurob and Canapka
when he thinks he has the cards^tm^
others just moved on with a different game
Do it now the Orange Turd is coming for you.

This is the main issue I have while using Lemmy for a few weeks now. Echo chambers really become each other's echoes. The amount of deja vu 'news' that I have already seen a week ago from another community on another instance is too high. The same discussion goes on repeat. Feels like going in circles.
Many have proposed improvements for better social media to address these issues. Even i made a (bad ?) post about it 1 month ago :
