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.
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.

"Is the Guardian using its platform to manufacture more consent for this evil, pointless war on Iran?"
Is Trump using the war to hide the files?
weird ass headline
Lol the down votes on this article. I love how Iran became "good" because the US became "bad".
Nah, this is put in front of our eyes to help this stupid war go down easier. All sides are shit, my boy.
If all sides are shit then this is relevant. Whether it "helps the war go down easier" or not. "My boy"
Is it relevant? Should the US bomb them even harder, my man?
Are you dull? You don't think news of a government executing protesters is relevant news because "you just want to hate on the US?"
Do you honestly believe this piece isn't manufacturing consent? It's the intent that sickens me. What Iran is doing is shit, but what US-Israel is doing is Nazi levels of shit.
Too dumb to talk to. Bye.
It seemed like a pretty well reasoned response. Pretty telling that this is when you gave up.
Oh did it? "Let's ignore bad people doing a thing because it might distract us from other bad people doing something" seems "well reasoned" to you?
That's... Not what they said.
Cya, my boy.
Look up critical support
They hid it?
Hey, all you mAnUfAcTuRiNg cOnSeNt folks: did Chomsky manufacture consent for Epstein's victims? Iran's regime has been murdering its citizens en masse for 50 years. Fuck off with making this about the USA.
I don't understand this comment... Does being a piece of shit mean he was wrong? Because he wasn't.
Isn't whataboutism distracting?
Lol what?
Wait, are you literally saying that you purposely did whataboutism so you could show people it's distracting after they respond to it?
Lol ok
Why on earth would they want to keep the execution of traitors secret? Now would be the best time to bring the rioters and other scum in front of the public, show the people the damage they have caused, and make an example of them for anyone else thinking of collaborating with the CIA. Do these journalists have zero braincells?
