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.

Can you yanks do that "well armed militia" thing some of you have been banging on about in defense of mowing down children with automatic weapons?
The US government has made it so a well armed militia cannot overpower them in any shape or form. Want to tell us how to shoot down a drone at 10,000 feet before it vaporizes us? I'm all ears.
The only way this gets fixed is through a (unlikely, by design) general strike, other countries dumping US bonds, or if by some miracle the midterms actually happen.
The US military will be defeated financially, not on the battlefield. In the end, the US empire is collapsing for the same reason every other empire in history has collapsed. Ultimately they are not financially sustainable. When you build your whole economic model on continued expansion and exploitation, the whole thing collapses once you reach hard limits and can no longer expand.
Indeed, well put. It will never be defeated by US citizens, only if the bottom line of the military industrial complex is affected.
There's a general strike happening after the midterms, its won't be till 2028 though when that Congress steps in.
I'll believe it when I see it. People in the US are only getting poorer and more unable to afford to strike (by design).
The people who do that are the people who support Trump.
How has it not been made clear to you that the 2nd amendment people ARE Trump supporters.
Plus the firearms people have access to don't work against the state. They really want people to try, but that's the problem with left leaning people, we think before we act.
These fuckers are putting MRAVs and other armor in the streets. Your small arms fire just tells them where you are loudly and quickly.
We must never fight on their terms. We must never fight how they are trained.
I guess just do nothing again? Leave your problems for the rest of us to deal with I guess, it's the American way
Huge chunks of our problems are Rupert Murdoch (Australia), Leon Musk (South Africa), Peter Thiel (Germany), Congress (Israel), and the POTUS (Russia). Maybe the rest of the world can not bother with America's problems, but deal with the ones you've sent us?
Literally everyone you just named is an American citizen
ignoring the decades of previous history of home made American imperialism.
Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam,.....
What?
your quick to blame current problems on foreigners, while ignoring that those people came to the us BECAUSE of its existing imperialistic politics.
They're at best a symptom of a larger problem.
The current regime COLLABORATED with the Kremlin to get in power. As is a lot of other fascist movements in the world. I think we can safely blame a foreigner.
bush era regulations aren't foreigners....
here's the thing with Putin, he didn't invent the flames, he just stoked them. The tea party was always this.
You may not have an option, buddy.
Once the US starts invading other countries it's kind of a one way street
Greenland is threatened again, and after Venezuela, people are listening. Mexico is threatened again and you bet your ass that both Mexican government and US army trained cartels are preparing. Mexico doesn't have any army to speak of, but Mexico will be the US next Afghanistan. Bodies and blood will flow.
And how do you think it'll end when the US tries to invade Canada?
Can they please just stop this madness
US started playing Risk without telling the other nations.
Drones are the new meta in attacking an authoritarian state.
Build yours today.
Coincidentally, Congress just restricted drone imports about 2 weeks ago...
The import and sale ban does not apply to drones already authorized by the FCC, meaning you can still buy and use existing models (like current DJI drones) until stock runs out, but future models won't be available.
At least until the state starts making early scourges and corsairs.
I'm far more heavily armed than most. I could outfit my entire block, though they're already armed; young, old, liberal, MAGA. Yes, even the little old black lady across the street.
What the fuck do you want me to do? I'm sick of these smartass posts. Give me fucking instructions and be clear or STFU.
Fuck me. Saw what looked like an ICE thing in Alabama today, put my Colt .45 under my leg while trying to get my immigrant wife the hell back to Florida. There's a 12-gauge pump leaning on my desk 24x7 and the AR-15 leans on my nightstand. Being that there's no ICE around here, want me to hunt some down a couple of states away? Be clear in your instructions.
I now lock my doors, have a gun in reach everywhere I go and live in fear. And you assholes, "LOL! Where my 2A boys at?"
They don't realize that the military that our government has used in other countries will easily be used against us, and has far greater firepower than we could ever have. I'm armed, in case shit goes down, but I will not last long against the military industrial complex in the US. Not to mention a ton of people here are disabled and have not had real healthcare in years.
If just a group of us, or your neighborhood, for example, goes out against the government, the insurrection card will be played and everyone will be arrested, shot, and/or vaporized. It would take a fuck ton of people to rise up, and then you run into the same issue as the general strike. How do you keep people fed? We already can't do that now, so we'd need to set up the infrastructure to be able to feed everyone while we weather the storm.
Well then maybe start getting rid of your fucking useless 2A that is responsible for so much death and tragedy if it doesn't do THE ONE THING that's supposed to make all that fucking death and tragedy worthwhile
Do explain your understanding of the Constitutional amendment process and how that might play out in 2025 America.
Either answer or shut the fuck up with your facile, childish notions.
Find some like minded people, take out some ICE personnel at night, take out their vehicles, make them all afraid to round people up.
Yeah this is the part they don't want to accept because it's ugly and it's risky. It takes courage and conviction, and it takes planning and commitment.
There are very few people who can do this, and even fewer who can do it successfully and also live a reasonably normal life without getting caught. The problem is that all the 2A people got convinced they were the vanguard but never actually were told what that means. They bought into the hype but never understood what it really meant. Now when it gets real and it gets ugly they find out they never were that guy, and they just wanted to cosplay as that guy because the guns are cool.
