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.

MODERATORS
You have to realize. They are literally idiots.
They're in prison, being fed propaganda with no future, too many kids, too many problems no education. It's hardly their choice unfortunately.
We need to feel pity not contempt.
I agree with you, with the exception that Palestinians are actually known for being a well-educated population.
Being educated and supporting Hamas just doesn't compute. Even if you are politically brain damaged to think the only solution to Israel problem is to kick every jew out Hamas is so incredibly incompetent that no one with a single brain cell could possible support this organization.
Being educated and supporting Trump just doesn't compute. Even if you are politcally brain damaged to think the only solution to America's problem is to kick every Mexican out Trump is so incredibly incompetent that no one with a single brain cell could possibly support him.
My point stands.
No it doesn't. It's a weird jump in logic that makes no sense. The commenter above you even gave you a US example of the same way of thinking. There are plenty of educated people voting for conservatives in the US. They aren't "idiots" as you've put it.
Why do you think they aren't "idiots"? I'd argue that they very well are :)
being educated and being Clarence Thomas doesn't compute either but the world is in an absolute fuckhole state, there's no hand on the till and the rich are just making sure they've got all of theirs so they can hold out as long as possible against the zombie apocalypse, which will just be hungry people. That's the real dark side to such stories.
They could have stopped it but they're just choosing to hunker down and not give a shit, and they will die just like the rest of us because of it
