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.

I mean what do you define as fighting? Cause the most I've seen is protests and I don't really count just going outside for a couple of hours on the weekend to wave a sign around and chant as fighting.
sure ignore all the judges, fed workers and doctors being threatened with losing their livelihoods and jail, possibly violence
ignore the massive amounts of non violent protests
all the quiet behind the scenes work on trying to preserve everything we can
but sure get right out there and give them a reason to declare martial law
here actual violence for you

They aren't fighting, they are barely resisting by doing their job.
Massive? You're impressed with the size of protests in the face of what's happening?
There's a difference between dismissing all efforts by all individuals and stating a starling fact: we are collectively not doing enough.
Wait wait wait this took me back a bit, I wasn't ready to respond to this point. You're either completely brainwashed by neo-liberals or you just have not thought your contradicting views through fully.
What's the point of protest? Have you ever marched in an organized peaceful protest in designated areas and paths where police literally setup caution tape and mobile barriers to direct your protest from point a to point b?
How did that feel? Did you feel like you accomplished much? Did the few onlookers that actually walked by your "protest" path seen engaged and informed?
Protests that don't bother anyone are just state sponsored venting sessions. If the Nazis are in power, and they aren't imposing marshall law because of your protests, you're not protesting.
When the Biden regime saw actual massive protests of his genocide, they called students terrorists and started making laws to squash it. Just a few days a go a bill was passed to make it illegal to criticize Israel on Campus by conflating anti genocide protests with antisemitism.
There's your fascism, 320-91 bipartisan fascism! Protest, massively and un"peacefully" before you can't.
I think doing all of those things is good but none of them really constitutes the people actually fighting back.
The first point focuses more on people in government using the amount of power they can to oppose this stuff which is good but isn't really the people fighting back against this.
The massive amounts of protests aren't going to do anything by themselves as Trump can continue to ignore them and keep blazing ahead as he's already doing so. Especially considering the major force behind this, 50501, is having some pretty major internal problems right now the last time I looked that will probably splinter and hamper their ability to keep doing events.
In terms of violence I do generally support non-violent action, I just think it needs to be directed in ways that actually accomplish something rather then just allowing people to feel like they did something by going out to a protest for a couple hours. We need people to join organizations and actually start organizing and building community with people. That way people can begin to work towards creating whatever protections they can at the local level whether that be through local legislation or through organizing groups to protect people in the community directly from attacks. Protests can work towards this but we seriously need to hammer it into people that just showing up to a protest isn't enough by itself and we need more protests that aren't just nebulously targeted at Trump but have specific goals and demands.
lol alright hand wave all that
