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.

Ok but you did say that the middle east has been at war with itself to dismiss my point that the middle east is affected by the Wests foreign policy agenda for them. And also you implied that the middle east is inherently more violent than other places.
Yeah these are governments friendly to the West doing this and they are doing this at the cost of their local population. That money isn't being used to build community, it's being used to fund sheikhs agendas.
I never said that. Violence isn't good. I can say that unequivocally. I'm just saying is that religious extremism is created by the Wests foreign policy. Also the immigration crisis is caused by the Wests foreign policy. The root cause here is whatever motivates that foreign policy.
Because you are acting like the middle east and the terrorism that's born there via religious ideologies, is a western caused issue. It is not. Today, the middle east is more violent than other places.
There is the west being blamed...again. UAE exists and has a very high quality of life. You should check it out.
And I'm telling you, that's complete bullshit. You're once again, saying it's the fault of the west, that this happened.
Ok let's talk about some history
Why does Israel exist in place of Palestine? Because of the British policy of Zionism.
Why did the Islamic Revolution happen in Iran in 1979? It was a direct response to the coup orchestrated by the CIA in 1953.
Why did the Taliban orchestrate 9/11 despite being allies with the US against the Soviet Union in the 1980s? Because the CIA instigated the war covertly, destroyed millions of lives and empowered religious extremist warlords to dominate Afghanistan for the next 40 years.
To say the West isn't the root cause here is ignorant and lacks a historical perspective.
Bro you're complete bullshit. I'm sorry your precious West has done so much evil across the world.
Yep...and did that cause this extremist to ram a van into a pride parade?
The IR happened because the shah was a dictator, and Khomeini promised a more democratic country. It's why you saw a ton of Persians from the left (students) supporting him. The CIA did have a hand in the 53 coup, but acting like the gov. Iran has now is better is a fuckin joke.
Wait wait, you think that 9/11 happened because the CIA gave the Taliban weapons and money? You do realize that 9/11 wasn't really done by the Taliban right? The Saudis had the biggest hand in it, and bin laden ended up being the fall guy.
Again to say the west is the root cause is ignoring all the other countries that the west has been fucking with. India...the literally just got their independence from the British less than 100 years ago. A country of 1.4 billion people, and they don't seem to be fucking ramming vans into pride parades... what's your excuse for them?
O...o I'm dealing with a tankie...fuckin hell.
