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.
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.

Yes. Please drag the country and the world into complete economic chaos. It's the only way the cult will understand their actions.
Eh... even then they won't care as long as browns and queers are getting it worse.
Side note: I made this exact comment on reddit and they removed it and gave me a warning for encouraging violence... Wow that site has gone to complete shit.
I'm so incredibly angry that the fucking economy is the only thing they care about. This is killing people, but nobody gives a shit.
"I got the bag so fuck you" is like THE ideological cornerstone of Western civ. To call it how it is and be disgusted by it is radical and anti-West, unironically.
The cult will never understand. They cannot be persuaded, only defeated.
It ended?
Mate, they've won that war at least 17 times since it started this year. Of course it ended. At least the same amount of times they've won it.
Total victory has been achieved! Now watch me start the war again! Restart the clock!

two dates to gamble upon.
Kamala would've been the same, right?
Harris would have opened a literal portal to hell and used the demons to kill infants so the rich could bathe in their blood.
Dunno about bathing in blood, but fucking the infants? That's the Epstein files...
Have you seen the Republican primaries this month? Trump's endorsements won across the board. Even Thomas Massie; a Republican who rallied against data centers, big tech remotely controlling cars, and AIPAC; lost his seat because Trump bashed him. It doesn't seem like voters regret backing Trump at all, as evident by how much shit Trump's administration is getting away with.
All the more reason to tell any American trying to say "but we're not all bad" to shut up and get to work. This gets a lot worse the longer you leave it.
I feel the same. I just don't see how we get this country to lock in. Even as people get upset—in January 2025 over the DOGE terrorism; more recently over these data centers—nothing ever comes of it. Progressive and rational voices speak up, but we're drowned out.
I fear there is just too much against us. There are too many distractions for the disillusioned. The only current movement that has overcome that is MAGA, with their ravenous hatred; but they obviously aren't the solution.
I'm not giving up—for I and many others USA politics isn't something we can "log out" of—but I can't ignore that all the introspection and analysis I've tried runs into the same seemingly-impassible pitfalls.
any R that opposes P47 will get primaried immediately by the gop thats a fact, Mccains daughter for example, MTG quit before being primaried. kAZINGER is another one. nope none, they fully bought into the cult, to think otherwise is uncomfortable to them. 4 years of trump being aired 24/7 +manosphere helped cement his support, and all the gaffes he did prior to the election too, anti-vaxxers are just an extra cherry on top.
Considering that a blockade is an act of war, it has not in fact "stopped".
Right? We all know wars only end when the President dresses up in a pilots outfit and lands on an aircraft carrier to announce Mission Accomplished. The decades of slaughter after that are don’t count as “war”.
He never really stopped.
Did it stop at some point?
He's won the war multiple times every day since it started.
Restart? Did it end?
If a US military action lasts longer than 60 days, congress gets to vote on it to make it a war, or force it to stop. Trump is arguing that the ceasefire means it has stopped, and therefore hasn't gone over that limit. And also that if they now start fighting again, it's not the same conflict, so they get another 60 days.
when people stopped focusing epstein files, it ends, when epstein comes up every time it will restart.
Indeed, WTF is the orange idiot yapping about.
It's not a war, it's a war, it's a ceasefire but we're still shooting each other cuz Iran did it first, it's not a war there are no hostilities it's a ceasefire and on and on it goes, we're going to restart the war.
For fucks sake, can we start discussing solutions to the conservative problem? I'm open to final solutions but really any solution will do.
The fascists are ruining Canada too. Nearly everyone I've talked to wanted to vote NDP last election but instead voted Liberal. Why? We were afraid that the fucking Trump supporting conservative Pollivere would win the election if we didn't vote liberal. And he still hasn't given up, he is still the conservative leader. I really want the NDP party to be in power but we have to settle for the liberals to protect us from the fucking nazis
Only for it to "stop" again just before the deadline where Congress needs to vote on a war powers resolution. Convenient.
so congress passed an extension to the war powers act?
iirc this a new not-war so gets is own deadline.
I mean its not but I think he wants to sell it that way if congress does not give him something.
Just watch out for some gambling on polymarket to know when it is going to happen
It stopped?
I will believe it when I see it. Right now it's just taco
"poised to restart the distraction from epstein files, coming to light" which was prompted by the french investigation, and several individuals trying to "go on a tour" about it. and also hide the fact the most obvious person, other than trump is involved, todd blanche.
Someone check the betting sites.
Then toss him on the front line if he so fucking keen.
It ended?
Obviously for his "Christian" masters.
TACO Tuesday on schedule (shed-dew-all like Picard says it)
