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.

    Notice that they're still committed to allowing the kind of bribing called "lobbying", just not that specific example of it.. This is called cosmetic "Principles", see? establishment NEVER guts its own corruption.. Never. _ /\ _

    Poor bastard: there IS active, & onging, Russian interference in EVERYthing in Ukraine, & he's got his hands tied in many ways, while Russia doesn't have rule-of-civil-rights law, at all.. Yes, Justice must be independent ( as that protestor's sign states, in English, in the image above ), but when you've got the world's greatest machiavellian having their tentacles in all your institutions, how do you make it independent of THEIR molestation, too, when they're already operating outside of the law? Poor bastard.. this war's grinding on him, grinding on his values & his frame-of-reference, both, it seems.. _ /\ _

    Understand, that Trump's NOT playing the Zero-Sum Game: he's playing the Negative-Sum Game, as mass-shooters are, too.. He isn't working towards future-generations' victory, rather, he's working to enforce that there IS NO US of A for anybody to be a citizen-of, after he's finished with it: he will go down in history as its last ruler.. Same as mass-shooters want glory/infamy, not long-life.. ( & "journalism"'s stringing-along the false-framing that it's really otherwise, is just helping increase our body-count at the end of this decade, in treason against true Journalism's spirit ) The 5 culture-levels ( levels, not "stages", as stages are irreversable, like larval-caterpiller, but adult-giraffe, after their metamorphosis, you know? ), that are anchored on the 3 categories of Game, are: 5: Positive-Sum Game, aka Win-Win Alliance: "Living is self-inherently AWESOME!!" 4: mixed: "WE are great, THEY are not." 3: Zero-Sum Game, aka competitive-narcissism, which money-people presume that all players are playing: "I am great, others are not." 2: mixed, subject-to-narcissism's-rule: "MY life sucks." 1: Negative-Sum Game, mass-shooters, competitive-nihilism: "LIFE, ITSELF sucks, let's butcher it for importance/glory." You can watch the simplified-condensed version here: https://www.ted.com/talks/david_logan_tribal_leadership & if you find that understanding the 5 cultures is important to you, because you want to decide which of the cultures you live-in, through the rest of your life, then I beg you to invest in understanding everything in their book, "Tribal Leadership" by Logan, King, & Fischer-Wright. They didn't realize that the 5 culture-levels all hang on the 3 categories of game, I did, but with that key, it's even more important to be understanding this, as the US of A is now manufacturing a mass-enforced-conversion of people down to culture-level-2 & culture-level-1 ( homeless oft becomes culture-level-1 within 3 months, and I say that having experienced years of it: it DESTROYS you, inside ). Immunize your life against that particular erosion-of-your-life, now, while you've still got good leverage, because they're working to enforce that we lose all our leverage, ASAP.. _ /\ _ EDIT: to make it explicit, what I'm saying.. IF you don't understand which of the 3 categories-of-Game a player is playing, THEN you aren't competent in understanding what their strategy is!! ONCE you understand that the accelerationists, & the far-right, are not playing for long-rule, they are playing for power-while-destroying-everyone-else's-life, THEN you can understand what is, vs what isn't, Strategy, from their perspective, see? Should have made that obvious, instead of only implying it, as it was sufficiently-obvious in my head, but .. you aren't me, & be happy about that, too. ( :

    I've read that the flight-deck voice-recorder captured something like "why did you shut-off the fuel-lines?".. Those powerplants need fuel measured in litres-PER-SECOND, not per minute, the way piston-engines do. ( There's a channel on yt by a guy AgenJayZ, he has a turbojet-repair shop in the Praries, in Canada.. he showed, in 1 of his videos, how he tests a single fuel-nozzle, for 1 ( of 5 ) combustor-cans in a jet he was working-on.. 28-imperial-gallons/minute, that nozzle sprayed-out.. Times 5, & you've got 140-imperial-gallons/minute pouring into that SINGLE jet-engine.. that's around 635-litres/min, aka 10.5-litres-per-second for that engine.. You CAN'T survive killing the fuel-lines on an airliner, while just after takeoff: Flamout, & you can't restart before crashing. Here's a yt-search, & the video I say may be in that list, but it's been a few years.. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jayz+jet+engine+fuel-nozzle+test ) To me the only question left isn't "how", but why: Did the person on the flight-deck who killed the airliner do it of their unconscious-mind's belligerance, XOR did they do it consciously-intentionally? ( the video, I hope you've seen it, of the gorilla-suit guy walking through some people tossing a ball around, & half the people in the game didn't notice the gorilla-suit guy.. Normal people can't imagine just how much of our lives our unconscious-mind blocks from our awareness, & be "well adjusted".. I'm not accusing that person's conscious mind of doing it, but their unconscious-mind's intent definitely was involved, either-way. ) _ /\ _

    < homer-simpson voice > The worst crime of the 21st century .. so far! < / homer-simpson voice > ( I wish I was joking, but no: the accelerationists, far-right, etc, have MUCH worse plans for our world's next few years. Trump wasn't kidding about wanting to possess both Greenland ( which he can use to seal-off all Atlantic trade with Canada, using Alaska to seal-off all Pacific trade with Canada, & then butcher us from mainland US, until only our corpses are in his way of total-continental-"kingdom" ) & Canada, & in a few more years, his alliance with Putin, to butcher all the "woke" countries ( see the other article in this forum on their working to replace all the civil-rights leaders in Europe with far-right supremacist-types: https://lemmy.world/post/33478737 ) will be blatent, instead of hidden ( the temporary-difficulties between them are only temporary, & Musk's actively toggling Ukraine's internet to help Russia ( https://lemmy.world/post/33459082 ) is just a little of the evidence showing the real-truth, as The Kremlin Papers that The Guardian reported-on a few years ago, are, too ). https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/mar/02/time-to-confront-trump-putin-network https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/16/first-thing-what-the-kremlin-papers-said-about-trump ( keep in mind that The Guardian changed-ownership, & let-go many of their journalists, so it's possibly just a holding-company, now, riding on the pre-established brand, AND I've seen screencaps showing its prejudice'd "journalism" protecting Israel's genociding, compared with its coverage of Ukraine, so it isn't the "Truth 1st" kind of Journalism this world needs, but .. neither is anybody else, now, from what I've seen. Sucks, that.. Read "The Elements of Journalism", for a taste of what true Journalism is supposed to mean.. We NEED true-Journalism's return to this planet, this-year! )
