A community for discussing events around the World
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.

~~China~~ America is giving ~~Russia~~ Israel significant support to expand weapons manufacturing as ~~Ukraine~~Gaza war continues
.... not so acceptable when someone else does the same thing. I love this world of double standards.
Two things can be bad at once without needing to bring up one when discussing the other. It turns out the world isn't all that simple
I think it's valid as a call out against the US official saying this
It's not double standard. It's a single standard - one superpower, American hegemony etc.
Great point.
It's almost like nations are just looking out for their rich people while everyone else is a useful idiot squabbling over bullshit.
Calling out American hypocrisy is not allowed. That's to be labeled "whataboutism" and then dismissed because reasons.
Seriously though, I'm looking through these posts and seeing the same dumb bullshit that bush jr spewed about "axis of evil" being parroted unironically. There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, "Fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again."
Yeah every nation does this, don't be put off by your downvotes from the American Lemmy population.
You're right
The west supports country that aligns with their values and not literal terrorists? SHOCKEDPIKACHU
Terrorism means waging war with the west without spending a lot of money.
Genocide, on the other hand...
Not literal terrorists? Israel? I believe you can't find a more terrorist state on Earth at the moment.
