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.

Are they shooting those ships without warning? Edit: Israel blockades Palestine, US blockades Cuba, but it's terrorism when Iran or Yemen do it. Sure, bud.
So if I warn civilians that I am going to shoot them first, then it is OK to shoot them. According to your advanced moral theories, I assume.
So because "Israel bad" or "US bad", it is good that the Houthies shoot random innocent ship crews?

Are you still joking, or is it that you never were, because you seem to be tripling down on your original shitty joke-but-not-really-joking.
EDITED to add: 19 day old account, lol. Should've known. Blocked.
Random innocent ship crews aren't being targeted, ships that provide oil to Israel and US forces are, they directly support the terrorism done by these regimes. It's like saying "what you are doing supports the inhuman war against my people, the fuel you sell to the genociding army provides the power for their planes to bomb our schools and massacre our children. We will stop ships from supporting this war effort, you can willingly leave your ship or we will disable it."
Oh shit, a link to "whataboutism" lmao. Suck my dick and balls you fuckin loser.
Listen, Iran was attacked. They are overmatched militarily by the US and Israel. One key bit of leverage they have is enforcing a blockade of oil against the countries that are bombing them. Note that there is effectively no blockade for non-hostile countries.
