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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
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.

Doesn't matter who the President is.
America is a bloodthirsty empire that steals the resources, freedoms and conspires against oppressed people.
Sure glad america got rid of genicide joe,....
If America can do this, guess what other countries will take inspiration from it
In Australia, we even just had Pauline Hanson say this is a bad idea.
For context, she is a white non-Muslim politician who once wore a burqa into parliament to make a point. Even she is against Trump on this one.
That's because she's just a fuckin ignorant moron. Not a fascist. Not yet, at least. Give her another few months of consuming the fascist propaganda machine.
Yeah, totally agree with you there.
Do think the Coalition are still going to go with the "Dutton will have the exact attitude of Trump" campaign?
Where are all of the people that were complaining about Kamala and saying they didn't vote or voted for trump because of gaza believing trump was going to be the better solution?
The vanity of not choosing a lesser evil.
All the clutched straws of misapplied "false dichotomy", "showing the democrats that they must change", etc are just intellectual dishonesty. It's actively and knowingly choosing a greater evil by not flipping the lever in a real life trolley problem.
Some people don't seem to understand, even in a situation where there are two evils, choosing the lesser evil is always beneficial. Politics is not just something you can boycott and cover your eyes from. It governs your life, so you have all to gain from participating in it and educating yourself about it, no matter which side you ultimately lie upon.
Exactly.
It was an opportunity to pick who would be in power for them to fight for improvement.
If they effectively meant what they claim, they'd push with heart and soul to get the lesser evil in poer and then immediately fight them tooth and nail for positive change.
"We need to fight for change. I prefer my opponent to devolve into oppressive fascism first, please."
Oh but if kamala wanted to change her ways they'd have done it before or during the election /s
It's not like they'd have been scared of being labelled an anti semite, like what happened to corbyn when he started critiquing israel 10 years ago.
“Only the US could bring great stability to that region” bro you’re literally 90% of the fucking problem in the Middle-East.
Also damn, I hope the people who abstained from voting based on the Democrats’ [shitty and weak] stance on the situation are happy now.
Whoa whoa whoa. As a proud English man, I can't sit idly by and let you lay all the blame on the US! England is the reason for at least 80% of the problems, with the US only really coming along after we'd set the ticking time bomb
Get the fuck out with your American exceptionalism!
Aren't you guys inching closer to be an American colony?
God I fucking hope not.
Well if we think about it US is pretty much English problem as well..
If you really think about it it's the Romans' fault for losing to Germanic tribes and not wiping them out.
What have the Romans ever done for us, eh?
They'll just blame the Dems and the system for not fronting a decent candidate. Y'know compared to putting an insurrectionist felon rapist and, apparently, ethnically cleansing self aggrandizing moron in charge.
Hexbear and .ml really owned the libs and Genocide Joe this time!
Oh, I'm sure he'll let them in eventually... Servants, gardeners, manual labor, you know, "the help."
Good god the man really is mentally a 9 year old child.
Nothing better than to sunbathe while dodging terrorist bombs and bullets on a land that is soiled in blood after ethnic cleansing and forced relocation.
The effect will be stability, but not in a good way. Like a pile of bricks being more stable than a wall because they can't fall over.
US troops pacify enough that no government can grow there, and no foreign nations (Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, etc) can sponsor a puppet government.
Things that will be cracked down on: Any strong organization not endorsed and in leash of US military.
Things that will not be: Systemic problems like corruption, smuggling, organized crime, etc. And with no other organizing force allowed, nobody will be in power to handle those.
The result will be less violence and war, but a region that's not sustainable or functioning. It'll be less able to stand on its own after the US gets bored with it than it is now.
