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.
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.

and then people ask me, an Italian, why I want to leave this country asap
Unfortunately, the places where you can go are an ever-decreasing list. Some Nordic countries, a few EU ones, that's about it. Fascism is growing into a majority in literally the rest of the world.
I also have a Swedish citizenship so I always thought of going there but now they also have a right government. the list is getting thinner. Also my job doesn't have that many good places I can ask a transfer too. too bad.
Not really
It certainly is in Europe and is only going to get worse as resource wars intensify in Africa more will flee to Europe pushing the public to the right as their resources are spread thinner and thinner.
The USA and Canada are both heading this way too. Here in Canada the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, Pierre Poilievre, had been courting the far right, marching with their protests, being photographed with neo-Nazis and dropping constant dogwhistles. Polls show the Conservatives well in the lead, for the first time in a long while. People love their fascism, it seems.
More neo liberalism but it's not all doom and gloom, progress marches on.
A lot of people are being very hyperbolic
Fascism is not growing anywhere. But a lot of "lefties" behave like fascists for sure, so people turn away from anything that smells left.
On the other hand, modern definition of left includes authorisation ideologies and regimes, so no wonder that happens.
This comment is making it very hard to follow my personal lemmy rule which states that I should not just comment 'you are a fucking idiot'.
We ought to ask the mod of this sub to just ban people like him on site and to stop giving hate speech a platform. That's what we really ought to do
Getting too ban-happy is one of the reasons people hated powermods on Reddit. I don’t think we should repeat that here.
That guy just expressed an opinion (which I completely disagree with) and isn’t actively offending anyone, just downvote and move on.
Lol, you just confirmed what he said
Please back up any of what you said with facts
The way italy is going, they're trying to be mussolini all over again.
