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.

Good honestly. The world needs to stop using America as a cure-all solution.
Weapons are evil, oil is bad, neo liberalism is terrorism and capitalism is slavery. Knock it all off
And you are 14. I presume. Or really badly educated, or just plain naive and suckered in with lots of slogans, perhaps?
Capitalism has issues, bad issues. It also is the most successful system of all and is the reason the West towers over the rest. Is capitalism slavery? Don't be stupid. Without capitalism you wouldn't have your mobile phone that you use to bitch about capitalism. You NEED limited and controlled capitalism, like it or not. Use it to fund a huge social system for everyone, awesome.
Oil is bad? Without oil you wouldn't be alive, the world average lifespan would be closer to half of what it is today. Do you really believe your vegan salad just magically appeared out of thin air on your plate? Oil has gone into transport, energy production, lubricants, and god knows what more to get you safely your food, your medicine, your water, your energy, your heat, your life. Is oil a big problem with CO2? Absolutely. Should we have started a transition away from oil use decades ago? Absolutely. Is it a problem? Yes, we need to fix this, rather yesterday than tomorrow. Is oil bad in on itself? Don't be stupid.
Weapons are evil? Weapons are tools, first of all. Lethal tools, sure, but so is just about all farm equipment.wars are bad? Of course they are. Should we throw all weapons with the trash? Sure! Just one question though... What is your plan when Putin, who didn't throw his weapons with the trash, comes rolling your ass over in a tank to rape and murder your loved ones? You know, just asking since that is what he's doing right now in the Ukraine. He's also not the only one, Winnie Pooh also would love to play some land grab and opponent murder. There is a reason we have weapons, you know. Loads of powerful dictators out there that would love to enslave us all
So grow up. If you are 14, that's what you'll do and you'll see that your opinions change the more you learn, mostly, hopefully, to more moderate and well reasoned views. If you are 24 then dear god man, start reading books, start reading some history.
Literal Dunning-Kruger in real time wow.
Bro you really believe what you're saying and do not understand the connection between the state of the world and the Industrial Military Complex, the school-to-prison pipeline, the Pharmaceutical Industry you're out of your own mind.
Why is the term banana republic even a thing?
Who is Allen Dulles?
How do you even justify a system that literally only exists through blood money? What the fuck
I can smell your neckbeard and fedora from here
You made too many mistakes in word "communism".
…huh?
