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.

Because your canvassing is working! /s
You spend every waking hour on this cause so I hope you're at least getting paid for it
There's is easily over 100% chance they're getting paid for it.
Biden spends every waking hour supporting this Genocide. I've said 6 months ago that the second he stops it is the second I stop defaming his Genocidal ass.
Did he stop supporting Genocide yet?
Yes everyone who disagrees with you is a lover of genocide
If you live in the US or a close ally, you are complicit in the genocide of Palestinians.
If your strategy is to get people to vote for genocide joe by checks notes being condescending towards people who feel that genocide is a red line... you are just screaming into the wind mad that your politics are a dead end that nobody believes in anymore.
Genocide Joe needs to earn my vote and stop directly supporting a genocide while simultaneously spitting in the face of those raising their voices in alarm.
You want my vote? Easy pick up the phone and tell Netanyahu it's over.
Yep will get so much better under..checks notes ..Trump
I'm not being condescending to anyone who doesn't know what they're doing
I find it especially hilarious that you pretend this is about Palestinians like you give a fuck and you can't even resist a trump style toddler insult GeNocIdE jOe
I’m sorry wait what, do you question my motives for caring about a genocide?
If you want to been seen as someone who gives a fuck about Palestinians, you should probably not spread contempt for the only way to reduce harm against them. Instead you are fueling a new era of misery for them -- while using a style of insult only used by Trump in recent years.
It's just kinda funny you think people won't notice... any of this. But sure, use your pathetic crutch, the only one you have: "if you disagree, you love genocide".
Sorry I dont know if I made this clear I am actually not the president of the US, it is Biden currently, thus it is him facilating a fueling a genocide. If Biden wants my vote he can wield his power to stop the genocide, and not at some indefinite time in the future, NOW .
You have made it clear you want trump to win, and anyone with a braincell knows that would be horrible news for Palestinians, those people you totally care about
If Biden wants my vote he can wield his power to stop the genocide, and not at some indefinite time in the future, NOW.
And if he doesn't, then trump it is! You seem really upset about that certainty. So upset you used a trump style nickname: gEnOcIdE JoE
I used it because Biden is directly aiding and abetting a genocide.
You used it because you're pro trump. At best, by accident, but most likely intentionally
This is obviously a narrative you cannot let go of, but I am not pro trump in the slightest, I am a leftist.
Trying to rhetorically fuse the concepts of having a redline over directly supporting and supplying arms for a genocide and being pro Trump is unfortunately the only defense centrist democrats seem to have against the rest of us pointing out the candidate no one actually likes is again, directly fueling a genocide by supplying US made weapons, training to use those weapons, and complete diplomatic immunity for the political consequences of the heinousness of Israel’s atrocities (in not only slaughtering Palestinians indiscriminately, but artificially inducing the conditions of famine, bombing hospitals and assassinating journalists) from the international community.
Let me emphasize I can be swayed on my refusal to vote for Biden very easily. I want to vote for Biden, but if he wants my vote than he has to make that phone call with Netanyahu and stop the mass slaughter of innocent Palestinians and the genocidal erasure of their history from the landscape.
If Genocide Joe makes the phone call and stops this genocide I will immediately stop calling Biden names and commit to voting for him.
Don’t be mad at me for having standards? Be mad at the DNC and Biden for shoving such a shitty choice down voter’s throats.
Then stop taking action which can only help trump
It is Biden taking the action, not me
I am not the one running for president
I am not the one refusing to take action to stop a genocide
You pretend not to understand the consequence of a trump presidency but it's clear as day that you're lying your ass off.
This is such a toxic, dehumanizing concept... To say citizens who live in countries with corrupt governments are complicit in the actions of the very government that oppresses them is straight up evil.
Like, dude, we can't even fucking get sick over here without risking financial ruin. And you want to say we ALL are responsible for the actions of our government - even while many of us actively protest those same actions?
Get the fuck out of here with this nonsense. You are stripping away the humanity and agency of everyone in an entire country when you assert such things. This is simply evil - it's something that, ironically, corrupt governments love to do.
Yes, that does not mean I place the primary blame on citizens nor does it mean I don't appreciate the power of protest (hopefully it will be enough to force Biden to change course, for the US's sake and for Palestinians). Still, it is the US government using US citizen's tax dollars to facilitate this genocide. That makes all US citizens complicit.
The hell it does. I don't get a say in where my tax dollars I'm legally required to pay go. If someone steals your money, uses it to buy a gun, and murders someone with it, are you complicit?
Obviously directly shooting someone is the most complicit someone can be, but plenty of people leave firearms out in plain view with compatible ammo also in plain view nearby. If you leave your firearm out in plain view next to ammunition where a child could easily find it yes if someone steals that gun or picks it up and fiddles with it and ends up shooting someone, you are complicit to a significant degree for posessing such a dangerous tool and not properly safeguarding it.
The same thing goes with the U.S. military industrial complex.
You didn't answer my question at all. The hypothetical gun isn't mine.
I guess that is really the heart of where our disagreement lies, I consider our massively over funded military industrial complex to be far closer to a gun than innocent-but-simply-unguarded cash in this metaphor.
The question is whether or not a person is complicit in murder/genocide when it's committed with funds involuntarily extracted from said person.
