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.

How dare we take a stand against genocide.
So countries aren’t sovereign now?
Edit: I can’t find any info. What genocide?
Iran can sell their oil to whomever can buy it.
But this was apparently a US company violating US law, so...to your point...the US's sovereign right to enforce their law and confiscate contraband from their citizen.
The company is located out of Greece. So not a US company.
Liar
So I was wrong in this specific case. But they’ve been seizing oil since 2019. How is this okay?
fastest-moving goalpost in the West
They're talking about China.
The article is about Iran. Why is Iran being punished for a Chinese genocide?
They bought the Kool aid?
Genocide is wrong. (wild hot take I know)
Maybe every country should stop it.
If any one country stopped trade with every country that did genocide, they wouldn't have many trading partners.
The article has more to do with the Iranian revolutionary guard, but they somehow sold oil to China.
The antichina people jump on every article that mentions China.
Who got the oil? The US?
There’s more than one to pick from, but I’ll go with having 2 X chromosomes as my least favorite
They killed all the women? That seems I’ll conceived.
A lot of women are killed or severely punished for normal activities. They would not be harmed if they were men.
What’s it called when you kill a group of people who share a particular national or genetic trait?
Not the subject.
Good luck with your lead poisoning issue
Good luck with the cognitive dissonance. It helps if you try to see different perspectives. Just because a topic makes you uncomfortable, does not mean it’s wrong. Travel overseas to these countries you dislike. They are made up of people, just like you. They live, they love, and they feel pain, just like you. America is a country of 345 million, compared to a world of 8 billion. The minority should never rule the majority. It typically doesn’t end well for the minority. As a citizen of that minority, I’m frustrated that we don’t treat the world equitably. Enjoy this time in the sun, because the night that’s coming will be long and cold.
You know what people are a majority of the world? Women. Women are people.
People are People. Maybe try to understand the lyrics.

How does seizing oil mean we’re standing against genocide? Where is the connection?
The article mentions sanctions against Iran. I think China was buying the oil.
The US commited genocide in Iraq and helped genocide in Chile, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Cambodia...
The US claiming to take a stand against genocide is laughable at best.
It is completely cynical though, because the US still buys plenty of products that are made in chinese labor camps. It is crazy how much kool-aid americans drink and how deep they managed to put their heads up their own ass.
... You said in an article where a US ship willingly returned oil to a US dock because it was in violation of US trade sanctions. Could you please at least read up on the event before you decide to act high and mighty?
We? You're posting on a nz server
Wait til you find out about this fun little thing called "federation"
are you from mali?
