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.

Keep ignoring the FOREX charts and move to a BRICs country if you're so confident they will succeed. Surely nothing could go wrong!
That's a very strange thing to say. [Edit: especially considering that we started off with me clarifying that I completely agree with you about the contribution of corporations. Unless you're just being contrarian.]
Remember the context of all this is what people everywhere need to do to save the plan[e]t and human society. I'm not gleeful that the end of dollar hegemony will plunge the west into recession and devastate living standards.
I'm just stating that it's happening. Either climate change destroys life as we know it or the planet transitions to a sustainable political economy—currently, BRICS is making moves to bring that possiblity a step closer.
But I'm not necessarily a third worldist; I'm not saying that actions taken in the third world will automatically usher in a new world order. I'm saying it's one (albeit significant) aspect in the real movement to abolish the present state of things, i.e. the definition of revolution.
You believe that BRICs will succeed in usurping the dollar, but you're not willing to move to one of those countries? You don't even believe what you're saying.
You're sitting on a computer in a western country writing up fantasies about countries you don't live in, don't want to live in, and don't actually believe will bring about positive change. Your actions show that you're not quite dumb enough to believe the garbage coming out of your mouth.
I'm going to call it a day here before this conversation becomes any more tedious.
"BRICs is going to topple the dollar!"
"I'm not going to change my money to a BRICs currency and move to one of their countries!"
Glad I could show you the blatant flaws in your logic. Feel free to continue enjoying all the liberties of living a western country while whining about it.
You know, Camus, conversations go a lot smoother if you don't make things up about the other person.
