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.

Everytime I hear westoids say iran shouldnt get nuclear it gets on my nerves
fuck off dude, world would be better place if iran had nukes
Yes, they were not hesitant to kill thousands in protest even without nukes, why not just give them the ultimate pass like Kim?
Like the Americans and Israelis you mean.
Who is saying the world wouldn't be better off if Americans and Israelis didn't have nukes?
Do you live in such a world?
Your attempt to change the topic basically recognizes that it would be better if Americans and Israelis didn’t have nukes, yet you want more countries to have them, the sort that not hesitant to kill thousands in protest or launch attacks against neighbors in fit of rage. I do not live in such a world, but I definitely do not want to live in yours.
Stop trying to whitewash dictators and terrorists and try to claim they can be trusted with nuclear weapons, shill. Sorry you hate people who are more consistent than you and also call out the US and Israel on this instead of being the other side of the flip coin of being one of their fanatics.
Your logic is so bad it could be used to rationalize doing any horrible thing as it cannot be completely eliminated (hint, almost nothing can be).
Neither does Kim. As you have not provided a solution to get rid of all nuclear weapons, his reason are just as valid as yours.
Who cares? kim is totally fine, where did you get "thousands" number from? which govt isnt authoritarian
Sorry, I have the source but it is the worst authoritarian of all. Iran themselves.

And by the way I am not going to engage with you any longer since you are mentally deranged to think "Kim is totally fine". Shooting down people who are escaping from the country is fine? You are proving yourself to be just like the MAGA nuts.
Every country is authoritarian, whats your point? even my country has nukes and thousands of people have died in anti government protests, I dont get the co relation? First america will put illegal sanctions and when public unrest is created either people overthrow the govt or govt suppresses the protest forcefully. Who is at wrong here?
I frankly dont care, most of those stories about north korea are sensationalized, and even if he doesnt allow people to leave who cares tbf? he doesnt bomb random countries like america tho
There's nothing anyone can reply to anything so thick.
