World News
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.
-
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.

We've seen this recipe before, haven't we?
It's noteworthy that local right-wing extremism garners Russian and Chinese support.
You mean the commenters that keep blaming Russia and China for a countries population getting shafted by center-right politicians?
It must be the fault of Russia and China that the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. I wonder why Russia and China don't target countries with good social security nets with those nefarious right winger campaigns.
What the fuck are you on about. There is evidence that the right-wing party AfD in Germany has financial support from China and other various support from Russia, as well as ties to at least Russia.
This is not a "yeah right", their political proximity is very much on full display, even just listening to their speeches.
Blaming China and Russia failing for politicians such as Scholz that send israel Genocide weapons instead of helping their population in a housing crisis does indicate where we are at. Maybe start blaming israel instead of China and Russia.
Just like in America as long as people keep voting for the center right guy you will be sure that a country slowly slides into Fascism. And you can blame Russia and China and North Korea but it's the countries own fault.
You can equally find both things wrong. This is not a "either Scholz is wrong or the AfD is corrupt". There's more parties than SPD and AfD. In fact, that's what the system is built on.
The AfD is just an inevitable consequence of what happens when the general population keeps getting shafted to make the rich richer. Blaming China or Russia for the rise of Fascism is massive cope. This is 100% a consequence of Germany's own policies.
Germany did a Fascism thing 80 years ago. Did we blame China and Russia for that one too?
And the biggest irony is that these extreme right wing parties always have clear links with israel. Yet you ignore the obvious link and blame China and Russia.
