World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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. 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.

Crazy, I got the impression that a lot of people complain that the current governemt was too social, and Bürgergeld is too high and not harsh enough.
Ah, the classic "too social" complaint—because heaven forbid a government prioritize basic human dignity over corporate dividends. Bürgergeld isn't some utopian giveaway; it's the bare minimum in a system that already demands your soul for scraps.
What you're hearing is propaganda-fed resentment, weaponized to pit people against each other while the real looters—banks, multinationals, and their political puppets—laugh all the way to their offshore accounts.
If "too social" is the problem, then maybe the solution isn’t harsher policies but dismantling the rigged game that makes people beg for crumbs in the first place.
I think you should go outside and talk to real personsat at times.
If reading comprehension were a sport, you'd be benched. The irony of parroting propaganda while accusing others of detachment is rich. Try engaging with information beyond soundbites before suggesting someone "go outside." Your ignorance isn't the flex you think it is.
Don't frown at me, you're the one that invented Schrödinger's socialism.
Schrödinger’s socialism? Cute attempt at intellectualism, but it’s more like Schrödinger’s wit—alive in your head, dead on delivery. If you’re going to throw around metaphors, at least understand the physics behind them instead of regurgitating half-baked memes. The only paradox here is how you manage to type while so thoroughly missing the point. Stick to your lane; this isn’t a sandbox for amateur philosophers.

Intellectualism? Are you member of the NSDAP or what?
Spot on with your question and he acts like a Gauleiter. They were the regional brainwashed Nazi politicians who later in the war would order the old and young men to join the Volkssturm units to die. As the front closed in on their desk, they would flee to the next desk and repeat the process.
You know why I dig into you? People like you always poppig up close to an election spouting discouraging propaganda of a dead democracy and implying that people should better stay at home instead of voting.
Coincidentially with a core message most of us would agree with.
You are spreading the propaganda we should be aware of that you pretemnd to warn me from.
That would imply we in turn are conversing with a real person above.
Touché
To be fair, there’s an off chance they are a real person, e.g. paid state actor. ;)
Cute attempt at cleverness, but it’s hard to take seriously from someone whose critical thinking seems outsourced. Paid state actor? If I were, you'd still be outmatched.
Unpaid state actor isn’t particularly advantageous, either.
Unpaid state actor? Bold of you to assume anyone would waste resources on your level of discourse. Your projection is showing, and it’s embarrassing. If this is your peak rhetoric, I’d suggest retiring from whatever game you think you’re playing.

This is my valley rhetoric – I’m just getting warmed up! My friend, have you not heard? Substance is subjective! Perhaps your definition has been clouded by the fog of your own high-mindedness. I prefer to dive into the chaos of the debate – a dance of wit, if you will. I thrive in the ebb and flow, where traditional rules bend, and creativity reigns. Your rigid structure is no competition for my unpredictable flair! Unpredictable flair or just chaotic noise? There’s a fine line between artistry and a cacophony of confusion, and I fear you’ve leapt over it with reckless abandon. True mastery lies in the ability to convey ideas clearly and convincingly, not just in throwing around clever phrases like confetti. But keep at it; your enthusiasm is noted, even if the execution leaves much to be desired.
