Make sure you talk about this stuff and how unacceptable it is in public.

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.

There's something very irritating to me about the President using the word "trolling."
Maybe I'm being a stick in the mud, but the Leader of the Free World using Internet slang just doesn't seem right to me. It's petty, I know, but still.
It is not, however, as irritating as people defending the shit he does to throw the global economy and international community into chaos, by saying he's just trolling.
He learned stuff from Elon. That is worrying.
The term has entered the mainstream lexicon now. It’s not really just Internet slang anymore.
They really want Fallout to happen.
Its funny, we use "eh" here in Australia but spell it "A" or "aye". Wild how a letter can have an accent in text
May as well be cuz it ain't happening
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’s ours - 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.
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.
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?
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. 😔
How is election security in Canada? There was fuckery in the last presidential election here, and I don't doubt they'll try it in Canada too.
Thanks to Elections Canada it's actually a lot better than the states. We also get answers sooner. There's nothing like an American election to make Canadians thankful for Elections Canada.
Yeah, our Elections Canada is quite solid.
The influencing of support for our right-wing party endorsed by Elon Musk/Trump/Jordan Peterson via X, Facebook, and campaign financing is the real issue imo.
Christopher Tidus just did two hour and a half long podcasts with a guest. He never has guests. The guest is a veteran that has teamed up with a data analyst and a computer geek. They have the data. The election was stolen. They used every single method from kicking voters off the eligible elector list, to vote switching, to ballot box stuffing. The election was a sham that shows a clear Russian Tail.
This guy seems like he might know what he's talking about but is there a version that isn't a 3 hour video?
Like an article or something?
Honestly? I know who Chris Titus is. Never figured he'd not be a Trump supporter. Know nothing about him really, and I guess my impression of him was completely wrong. So...uhmmmmm...cool! Thanks for sharing!
I'm about 10 minutes into the first part. And, yeah, this is really really....idfk....fuck. Thanks. I'm really glad you shared this.
Edit:
The "mildly tangential ranting" on this comment I made yesterday I think is kinda relevant to this....if only tangentially....
I refer to him as a left leaning Dennis Leary. I can understand why you'd think he was right leaning. He's got the "middle aged white man funny rant" style of comedy down pat.
