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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

I see the point you're getting at, but this is too big of a debate for Saturday morning. :)
Have a great day.
Ladies and gentlemen, white US liberals when confronted with their shitty conservative positions. Saving this- it’s a such a perfect encapsulation.
Come on, now, be fair, I love dunking on liberals as much as the next leftist, but "Mexican men aren't chauvinists" is hardly a conservative position, as leftists aren't we supposed to make the argument that no people are a monolith?
Men are chauvinists. This is not somehow unique to Mexico.
According to this definition from Britannica, men, women, trans people, etc can also be chauvinist. Men can be male chauvinist, in that they think they are the "superior gender". But that doesn't exclude the concept of female chauvinism.
The concept of a "woman chauvinist" is irrelevant. It literally does not matter. What's going to happen, are women going to take over society and force men into servitude? Stop them from leaving the house without an escort? Make them give up their careers? 🙄
In a society that was built by men, for men, men's chauvinism is a problem and an unconscious bias they all carry with them from a very young age. There's a lifetime of unlearning that men need to do to not be chauvinists. Any man who has gone through this process to rid themselves of their chauvinism has no problem with statements like "men are chauvinists" because they know it's true.
No it isn't true, because it's a broad stereotyping and generalization based upon "they who scream loudest" and negates any local culture or even considers the concept of a silent majority. Basically you're throwing billions of people and thousands of cultures under the bus cause it makes you feel superior.
It's the same kind of thinking that helps to create more chauvenists, because you're basically feeding people the "us vs them" mentality, also known as "otherisms", that is the bread and butter of fascist, nationalists and the like that want you to think in those terms - because that allows them to prey on weak and infirm, who feel powerless to that type of shaming tactic, which then makes them go against the concept of humanism, because "all men bad" is empirically untrue. That then gives them an opening to think in the terms of their oppressor, because it is STILL a class struggle.
You want it to be true as a matter of toxic mentality - which includes toxic femininity, which is the core of TERF thinking - and rhetoric as a tactic to try and shame people into being agreeable to your point. But it will instead have the opposite effect, which means your mentality and false axioms cause more harm than good. In effect it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, because it is blatant disinformation that refuses to see the actual problems of the world. That's why the world of psychiatry has said it clearly: "men bad" basically becomes a feedback loop.
If you think bro casts, think tanks and political interests are a 1:1 with the thinking of the general populace, you have put on the jogging suit and drink deeply from the KoolAid bowl because it is cheaper than therapy.
When you use terms like "them", I can't help but think that you're misandrist - and as I tell people all the time: misandry is just the other side of the patriarchy coin, opposite to misogyny. That in turn feeds the fire of chauvenism.
I.e you're apart of the problem.
If given the chance, sure.
After all, they're only human..
“You cant be a bigot if you have a [POC/LGBTQ/whatever else] friend” is certainly a hallmark of conservative discourse
Landed and gentlemen, the troll who literally never makes a comment on this platform other than to try and demoralize a doomed society of millions of people. Torturing people like this is clearly all you ever think about. It's pathetic and you desperately need mental help.
