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.

Look Im not very knowledgeable about cuba but this title could very easily read, country starved by totalitarian capitalistic terrorist state suffering from abuse.
The place being attacked would have been attacked no matter what government system was in play.
"A cocksucking child rapist used military force in an act of terrorism to obstruct the lives of millions of innocent people today, starving children women and men a like". <As accurate if not more accurate than this title
A cocksucking child rapist used military force in an act of terrorism to obstruct the lives of millions of innocent people today, starving children women and men a like
I think your headlines are interesting and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
No lie I had someone I talked to today (couldn't hang up) go off for 17 minutes starting with making sure his 8 year old didn't have to share privacy information online, to how the government is covering for child rapists, then to COVID being completely fabricated to yelling about the 14th amendment making us all slaves and therefore absolving citizenship, and becoming a sovereign citizen is the only way forward.
Never have I listened to a man yell fuck so many times and start on the right track and detail so hard.
At 17 minutes he finally absolved talking to himself and listens to me saying, "sir this is Wendy's" <- essentially.
Issue needing to be resolved ~180 seconds. 34 minutes of call
Wonder what side he will be on for the revolution! People are angry.
I’m not saying you have to listen, protecting your inner peace is paramount. It’s just crazy how slow the creep of extremism has hit so many average people. It didn’t have to be like this.
He was from Boston, so when he started the way he did I figured give him 5 mins
I think they are attacking cuba precisely for the reason that they did communist revolution.
The problem is that "attacking Cuba" isnt shooting a missile, or actually intercepting any ships like the media wants to portray it as. The U.S. is hammering Cuba just off influence. When people say "a flotilla will come with greta" the U.S. won't stop it, and it will make everyone look like an idiot claiming there is a blockade. This government isn't intelligent, but the opposition we have is just plain dumb if they think that will solve a 3/4 century old problem.
If they carry 100 million barrels of oil, then the U.S. would care, throwing scraps at people, just helps the U.S. position right now. The media is owned by them
I agree, flotilla thing doesnt seem good to me
It's a foolish waste of time. Israel would stop it, the U.S. doesn't give a fuck, they will use it as PR to help them. No intelligent person would think "we will rationalize with MAGA" via showing up from overseas. MAGA would vote or bomb them every time. And not give a fuck if it's children or the like. They are terrorists, is how the media will show it every day
The truth is white people will be allowed, if not white, bombed. Always
And 75 of MAGA people will say "I'm not racist" while being the most racist pieces of shit in the World.
Ill say best case scenario now, is Israel forfiets all lands and leaves to live in the U.S. otherwise, Iran//Russia/China should wipe Israel off the map for humankind to become better
(I'm not supposed to say that, oh well, it's true. Jews I love and am fine with, Israel is a terrorist nation like the U.S. is becoming/ is now
Casually advocating for genocide and ethnic cleansing. Of course it’s not antisemitic, even though it targets half the world‘s Jews.
No, they should abide by the treaty signed when WW2 ended. They have failed every decade for 7 decades. They are now a terrorist regime. Either shut it down, or return and give up control .
Also anti semetic means anti semites. Most of Gaza are semites. So antisemtism is an absolute lie.
Also any decent Jewish person that has not already described the Israeli government as a terrorist organization has lost their faith. Jewish doesn't mean Israel, nor does Israel mean Jewish
If you believe otherwise then Donald Trump speaks for all 30,000 versions of Christianity in America. And you would have to be an absolute slow learner to think so. Every MAGA supporter is anti- Christian, by definition in the Bible
Antisemitism only ever refers to hatred of Jews. Look it up.
What treaty are you even talking about? That Arabs refused to make peace for decades, see three Noes (no negotiations, no recognition, no peace) from Khartum. Israel accepted the UN resolution of partition, the Arabs started a war to throw the Jews into the sea.
Half of all Jews live in Israel. The vast majority of Jews worldwide support the existence of Israel.
I’m not antisemitic, because I only want half the world‘s Jews to be killed and displaced.
You are filled with hate.
I'm filled with hate? Says a person trying to murder people for no reason. You absolute mad person. No anti semetic only means anti- semetic. If you don't understand that, you have been taught lies. And believed it. Antisemitism isn't just Jews, that's just what you were taught. Antisemitism was always against those who used semetic language. Aka Arabic, Hebrew, etc
I‘m not trying to murder anyone.
So you are agreeing the largest military in the world that is antisemitic is Israel. Unless you want to argue the U.S. takes it's place
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.
Congratulations, you realized your an antisemitic person by your definition. About time you lock up yourself as a terrorist shouldn't you?
Your quote specifically states antisemitic people are completely unaware, guess that must be why
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said that, while the protesters' complaints and demands were "legitimate", "violence and vandalism that threatens citizen tranquility" would not be tolerated.

That's a good tell. A communist governance would agree with the vandalism in addition to the reasons, as it's a signal of lost citizen tranquility, not a threat
Using the same playbook across the globe for centuries.
