A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Conservatives should really be running with this. It's such an easy win for them. They get a genocide to satisfy their bloodlust AND they get to blame it on their enemy.
They could use it for their impeachment attempt and they could even demand he be arrested and tried in the Hague. Thankfully, conservatives are stupid as fuck and can't see the easy points.
They’re too busy thinking that surely THIS slaughter jump starts the second coming.
Yup, the religious right only supports Isreal because they seriously believe once all jews are in Israel and they rebuild a temple, all jews and none believers will die in a holy fire. While the "real" Christians will float off to heaven. I wish I was joking but it's the truth. These are the people in control of 50% of our government.
Yeah but they hate brown people
They also hate whites that aren't the "correct" type of white. Ukrainians are "relatively civilized and relatively european", for instance.
They don't like Ukranians because Russia doesn't like Ukraine. It's not a racial thing.
Besides, they’d be going much harder than Biden is. They agree with supporting Israel, and if Trump gets back in office and this thing is still ongoing, I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to send troops over to help Israel.
I mean Israel named a settlement after trump lol.
They can't discuss non-white genocide without getting a boner and tweaking their nipples
This would make sense if they didn't also want to bomb civilians in the Middle East
They’re probably worried about the legal precedent of a sitting president actually getting in trouble for genocide, since they’re planning one next year and all.
Lol as if regressives give a shit about precedent
Conservatives should really be running with this.
They've spent the last 23 years running on the "Arabs are scary and we need to kill them" platform. Why would they support a measure that's anti-genocide?
They could use it for their impeachment attempt
If they're going to run bullshit impeachment efforts that die in the Senate, why waste effort and pick a fight with AIPAC when they can just hold up a picture of Hunter Biden's dick pick and call any Democrat who votes against impeachment a pedophile?
But what will the GOP say when they want to commit genocide to US citizens...
They want the bloodlust in their lives though.
That the one single man - Joe Biden - who by changing his own actions could almost certainly guarantee that Trump was kept out, refuses to stop materially supporting Genocide and instead he and those of his tribe demand that millions of Americans (most of whom voted for him and who he is supposed to represent) ignore their Principles and vote for him again, says it all.
Joe Biden's actions are neither compatible with the stated goal of keeping Trump out nor are they compatible with being an elected representative of the will of the voters.
It's not only Trump who is against Democracy, it's just that Biden and his minions use different, less in-your-face methods to disenfranchise the power of the vote.
