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.

If i ever meet a person who voted for trump, I'll tell them to fuck off. If they say they regret it, I'll still tell them to fuck off. Kind of like these criminals who regret what they did after they were caught (Maxwell), they know what they're doing, and goes back in it if it hits them back.
"Oh, I'm sorry, you honour, I didn't mean to do it" might work in the USA, but not in Europe. We will never forget this backstabbing.
If I ever meet a Trump voter, I will buy a bar. I'll invite them over on opening day and ask them what they want to drink. Once they order, I will tell them "we don't serve your kind here"
I can sort of see the how someone got suckered in to voting for Trump in 2016, a new radical face promising change vs a generic and unlikeble deeply entrenched democrat with no real promise for real change.
At some point you get tired enough to say "fuck it" and vote for the weird newcommer, in the hopes that something good would come our of it, or simply to send the one kind of protest that the dems would have a very hard time to ignore.
I can see that happening, but the 2024 election? Anyone voting for Trump deserves an instant hard face punch.
Definitely, especially with all of the Bernie excitement. Bernie really seemed like he had momentum and a real shot, once the DNC basically shoved Hillary in as the choice it became really easy to see Trump as an appealing option, even if it's just as a change agent. I caught on to the pedophilia stories before that election, so I couldn't stomach voting for him even if I somehow were able to ignore the obvious Russian ties.
The sigh of relief when Biden won in 2020 was collective. Everyone was just so happy to have a sane president again and not have to stress about him tweeting out threats to North Korea on a Tuesday. I have no idea how he won in 2024, there was his open rhetoric about tariffs, project 2025, a bunch of public rape allegations, but most of all how could anyone forget the daily stress from 2016 to 2020?
Keep in mind that the U.S. Republican party has been actively undermining their education system for decades as one of the many ways to trick voters into believing their lies. For many of the people who voted red, they were conned and manipulated their whole life into doing so. It doesn't excuse their past actions, but those who see their own wrongs and wish to work to correct them should be given the chance to do so.
If that was the case, the entirety of the German population would have been executed following World War 2 for letting Hitler take power. I know that's an exaggeration but the "Hitler Youth" were brainwashed into supporting him through their childhood, and the USA Republican party definitely took note of how to do this.
In the same way that German and Italian fascists were inspired by American politics, the Hitler Youth were modeled on the Boy Scouts and many former Boy Scouts don’t love it when you point this out (ask me how I know).
