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 guess usa must pay to rebuild irak, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Somalia first?
Did you miss the entire occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan? Billions were spent on rebuilding those countries, but the Taliban and Iranian backed militias destroyed a lot of it.
I noticed that you mentioned Syria, which was a civil war that no one mentions anymore. It was part of the Arab Spring and didn't really involve the US. The only people who care about Bashar Al-Assad are his cronies in Syria, his Iranian supporters, and the Russian government (which supported him because they have a navy port in Tartus).
Are you an Iran supporter or a Russian?
They spelled Iraq with a K, it's probably safe to assume you're tilting at a windmill but nonetheless it's good to oppose straight up stupidity.
I speak several languages little fella, it’s IRAK in my language. How many languages you guys from the American empire speak?? 😂😂😂
Personally, only three, but they're not hard for English speakers to learn. Most Americans only speak English though.
When you refer to America when typing in English, do you say États-Unis or Estados Unidos?
Most of what you said is correct, but didn't we drone strike the shit out of Syria?
And when we weren’t drone striking the shit out of them, we were giving Turkey the weapons needed to fight them on the ground, for some reason
Also nobody dares to comment on Libya
The same that happened in Afghanistan would repeat in Ukraine if Russia succesfully invaded it, rebuild it, but then withdraw all military and let the pro-russian and Azov militias continue destroying the country. Actually it is already being destroyed. Peace for arabs and ukrainians.
Do not believe the American propaganda media, usa did nothing just loot those countries.
To answer your question, I’m Western European 😉
