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.

Why are there so many pedos among the rich
There's a decent number of pedos among all classes, but the rich ones can get away with it easier
Yea, every 5-6 years it seems like someone within a few degrees of separation from me gets arrested for some pedo shit. It makes it hard to trust anyone. This year there were two. It's fucking terrifying.
It's almost like you don't hear about people in other classes because unless they commit some particularly heinous instance or attack a large number of kids, that shit is basically reported on once and forgotten.
I think it's a power thing. If sex is perceived as a power thing, than what's the most vagrant display of power? I'd argue child sex slave
Yes, but probably flagrant not vagrant.
Having power has been shown to reduce your brain's capacity for empathy. Neurologically, the rich actually are more capable of evil than normal people.
I think you might have it backwards. An empathy deficit (sociopathy) is highly correlated with the C-suite. It's not that sociopathy makes a person a better leader. It doesn't. It's more that a person with dark triad traits isn't going to care who they step on or what lines they cross to get there.
In other words, they were already screwed up.
So selection bias, basically. Leaders aren't always sociopaths but sociopaths are more likely to be in leadership roles due to their lack of concern for the means that get them to their end.
And having no empathy makes it more enjoyable to fuck people over to become rich. Maybe not a consideration for royals who were born into wealth, but certainly a factor in the circles they move in.
