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.

Hey US, you need to learn a lesson here.
I'm not against shitting on Americans, but we should probably wait until the French get something done before doing so.
Tell that to all the protestors who were maimed during the BLM protests.
I mean BLM didn't achieve all of its goals, but it was partially effective, but also nobody (AFAIK) went on strike during BLM. The French protests obviously have more juice here.
You have had first protest, now how about second protest?
And also to people who can't afford to skip work, or have no childcare, or who live 800 miles from a big city. Things are different here. Not to say we shouldn't be organizing and activating, but it's going to look different here.
Yes, apathy definitely makes it look different.
No need to learn anything if you already the best. Right, Americans?

If you think that breaking things and yelling is a good way to increase government education spending in your country, I'd think that it'd be you who'd want to be doing that.
Canadians are the most highly educated population in the world. Try again.
“According to a 2022 report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Canada is the most educated country in the world;[27][28] the country ranks first worldwide in the percentage of adults having tertiary education, with over 57 per cent of Canadian adults having attained at least an undergraduate college or university degree.”

Not shown: how much of that funding is funneled into for profit and/or religious schools via the intentionally corrupt "school vouchers" mechanism.
When the government is continually ignoring the wants and needs of the people, yelling and breaking things is necessary.
