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.

Okay, I'll spell it out then.
Before the election, there were all sorts of people crowing about the one genocide going on that they could use to get their fascist elected, and now that that very fascist is accelerating that very genocide - fucking crickets.
Those pre-election gEnOcIdE people were being disingenous then, as is evidenced by the deafening silence now.
You are literally talking to one. And frankly, you are covering your eyes because you are uncomfortable with the fact that they are STILL protesting the genocide.

But go ahead and try to act like they aren't being consistent. Cling to your conspiracy theories rather than recognizing the party needs to change to be responsive to it's voters.
You're the one talking about Democrats, not me.
How much effort have you put in to voicing your concerns about the Uighurs, Sudanese, Congolese? Or is it just this genocide you don't like?
First, yes, I've complained about those.
Second, We aren't funding any of those genocides as a matter of US policy.
Tell me what the US is supposed to do short of invading China, Sudan, or the Congo? The best you could say is more tariffs against china for the Uighurs. For the others we have basically no leverage beyond maybe USAID.
And who's trying to shut that down? Biden's out, Harris lost. Who's in charge of all three branches of the US federal government now, and what are they doing to resolve this one genocide?
Nice pivot. I see you really don't want to stay on the subject of Israel because it was a major problem with the DNC.
Just because I'm identifying a problem with the DNC doesn't mean that I didn't vote for them or that I support Trump. Kamala would have been better than Trump as a president, no doubt. However, She and Biden both had horseshit positions on Israel and actively worked to silence dissent on the subject. It doesn't matter that the RNC is cheering to nuke the middle east, their base loves that rhetoric.
You must not have read the entirety of my short comment, which ended with
But yeah, keep bitching about Democrats while the fascists burn the world down.
Yes, I will keep complaining because I want Democrats to win. They can't win elections by ignoring the base.
Your "never call out Democrats" is exactly the problem with the party. It's what has led them to losing all three branches. The reason Republicans won is because they pointed out the problems with the US, said "fascism will fix everything", and they are delivering.
FFS, it isn't even that Biden didn't do a lot of good (outside of Israel and the border). However, he and the party ran from the positive actions they took. They did that for fear that they'd scare away a "moderate" Republican. Their messaging was "at least we aren't them" and that's what lost the election. It's what lost the Hillary election in 16.
So yes, I blame Biden, Harris, and the DNC for losing a winnable election to a fascist. I can't blame those that stayed home or voted 3rd party, how can I blame someone that couldn't stomach the choice between two active participators in a genocide? It was a choice between Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy and you are saying "well, Ted's not quite as cruel when he murders people".
The US wasn't sending weapons to support those genocides for you.
Hey fuck you. You are a piece of shit for thinking Ukrainians are worth less than Palestinians. YOU caused this Trump bullshit so now you get to stfu and take your blame. Asshole.
Hey asshole, when did I ever say that? When have I ever supported Trump or told someone to vote for him or third party?
Fuck you for assuming my political positions and fuck you for thinking Palestinians don't matter. And fuck you because I didn't fucking run for office. I wasn't the one that ran Kamala's dog shit campaign. Maybe if you are fucking mad you should be giving mad at the fucking DNC, you know the people that lost to fascists and Putin lovers, for not running on policy or positions and instead ran a campaign that ended with Biden fucking welcoming Trump into the Whitehouse.
Fuck you asshole for trying to fucking chastise someone that fucking voted for fucking Kamala. If we can't fucking analyze the fucking mistakes of the fucking DNC then we are fucking going to see them lose again and fucking again.
I fucking blame idiots like you who cry like a baby when someone fucking points out the flaws of their team. You fucking authoritarian idiot. Democrats aren't fucking holy and pure. So learn and demand that they be fucking better.
Do you actually support how Democrats are currently acting? Do you realize the party is currently fucking talking about how they need to fucking work with their partners across the isle? That's why, you fucking moron, they are losing. Not because I fucking told them to stop giving funding and protecting a literal genocidal maniac.
