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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Yeah, we're just finding out this whole thing was a circus to make us believe there was some form of order and justice. Clearly there isn't. What are we gonna do about it now that we're all wage slaves struggling to pay our bills?
Think we can organize a global strike? Bring the world economy to a standstill? Create new political parties and try to take over through democratic means? You think they'll just LET US? No. We're beyond fucked.
Nobody will want to give up their comfort to protest any of this. It's just brown people getting killed anyway, amirite? (Of course I'm being sarcastic with this sentence just in case some people think I'm being literal.)
up until the forced drafting starts will people actually put up or shut up and die when they are guaranteed to lose their comfort by default and get shipped off to a forever war in Iran and countries that allow Iranian forces to use their land.
Hopefully escalating gas prices will be enough to get people out there first. Americans are not used to feeling the repercussions of "finding out" after "fucking around" on the global stage.
We all better be crossing our fingers folks. Hope that our action takes us far enough. But I just go outside, look at some of the people in this world, and there is still too many people fucking asleep.
Groceries and everything else is already expensive thanks to Trump's policies. You think gas prices would change anything?
Infrastructure is so reliant on cars in the US, and even Canada. Mass amounts of people can't get groceries w/o a car. Can't afford the gas to get your unaffordable groceries? Might just be another pain point in the stack, but does stack one on top of the other.
