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.

Jesus Christ, no wonder his politics are fucked.
His grandfather was a double traitor who only cared for personal gain and money. He got what was coming to him.
Meanwhile he is following in his grandfather's footsteps by being a complete parasite and sack of shit to the country he lives in.
His grandfather sounds based as fuck, I actually wonder how he turned out this way.
EDIT: Ya'll Tankies downvoting? I'll say it again. Fuck the USSR, they're no different than what MAGA aspires to be.
He spied on the US and the USSR. He was not some principled ideology. His ideological and moral compass only pointed towards money and nothing else.
He was sent by the USSR, made deals with the FBI and CIA, moved his family to the states and was executed by the KGB for spying on the USSR.
Sounds like the ultimate redemption arc. We should all aspire to be so strong of will against tyranny.
Clearly he couldn't pass off the tiniest bit of it to his son and grandson before he died, sadly.
MAGA...USSR...
Incompetent Party Oligarchs in palaces and bread/gas-lines for everyone else 🤝
Can hardly wait for the De-Trumpinization on the same level as De-Stalinization.
I’m doubtful after 2020, that it will happen.
Already are
Only a self-deluded accelerationist would think this is the bottom. It goes much lower than this.
Please explain
The pitts of the Stalin regime held twice the percentage of incarcerated, multiple famines, no real elections, widespread war, etc. The USA isn't there yet but it will be.
The number of people the USA currently has in prison far outpaces the height of the gulag system in absolute numbers and percentage of the population. If you want to talk about famines you can check out how the USA treated indigenous people. To be frank, Stalin was small time compared to the USA, whether you’re talking historically or currently.
And per capita it is half as much as the USSR, thanks for the rehash.
LesserEvil? As in the popcorn with avocado oil seen in many health food stores? What?
Yup. I boycott that brand hard and I tell everyone I know to stay away from it.
Geeze, TIL.
I really hate that every cent we spend that doesn't go to like, struggling indie artists we enjoy, goes straight into the pockets of people actively obsessed with making our existence miserable.
Dang. It's really good popcorn. Why couldn't he buy a worse brand...
Right? This is more like classic Nestlé behavior.
Can you tell me why and what is so bad about it? I am legit interested in knowing. It isn't available in my area but I will avoid it if I see it.
I boycott LesserEvil because BigBalls' dad is the CEO. I'm not gonna give more money to that twerp's family.
I love(/s) how mask-off Fox is now. "Former KGB double-agent lineage put into high places of government when people still remember the Red Scare? Fiiiiine! Look he's so ~~rich~~ 🇺🇸🗽🦅🏈pAtRiOtIc. . .
. . .REMEMBER WHEN OBAMA WORE A TAN SUIT THO AND MAMDANI HANDED SOMEONE A PEN?! THE OUTRAGE!! Shariah law! Immigrants! Reeee!!" [mouth foaming intensifies]
It feels like 50's-80's Republicans, still-evil as they were, would eat these bitches alive. LOL
As much as they screech about slippery slopes, it seems conservatism is the ultimate one. What vague notion of principles they might have had, erodes astonishingly quickly as soon as money and vulnerable children are dangled in front of them.
An opposition that lacks any kind of consistency doesn't deserve even the slightest respect.
Shit apples don't fall far from the shit tree.
Damn straight Mr. Lahey
thanks Randy
Well damn, his gramps sounds amazing.
