World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
-
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.

Yes, easily. Canada. You would be hard pressed to find someone outside of Canada that says they 'identify as Canadian' that isn't a citizen or just trying to conceal their actual citizenship.
This is where the fundamental issue is imo. You presuppose oppression as part of your definition and that is not included in what dictionaries define it as. Yes, differing ethnicities are often a source of... 'conflict', but that is not necessarily the case and this is what I'm trying to emphasize. There are numerous nations who have an ethnic identity that aren't oppressive to others as I already listed.
IMO you meant to declare "oppressive regimes" as demanding dismantling which I absolutely agree with, and currently most Theocracies and Ethnostates in the Middle East region qualify.
No, and I didn't ask you too. But, I think due to the clear issue with how we are each defining 'Ethnostate' you providing one other example aside from Israel is reasonable.
No, I was showing how you are conflating things with that example. In your breakdown you state that which I exactly agree with: "I would agree that that government should be abolished. That doesn’t mean democracy has failed" but you are saying exactly that when you use 'Ethnostates'. Israeli government failed so Ethnostates should be dismantled.
In conclusion, there are many justifiably proud ethnicities out there, some of which governments identify as, who aren't oppressive so we should be careful not to generalize to the point cultural identification as a whole becomes the Bad.
I identify as Canadian and am not currently a Canadian citizen. Some of my family does as well.
Dang, that was easy! Is it time to move the goal posts yet?
So what are you actually that you don't want everyone to know?
What? I'm a U.S. citizen. Why would I hide that?
Travelling abroad then. Cool beans.
I wish! I'm currently at home (in the U.S.), unfortunately.
Ah, so you call the US home. A key part of your identity. Nice try.
What? Nice try at what? You invented a definition for "ethnostate" out of whole cloth and then defied the person you were debating to find a person who identified as Canadian but is not a Canadian citizen. I immediately fit that description, so you then slid your goalposts all the way into the parking lot.
Lol, this is the weirdest and most nonsensical troll experience I've had in ages. Thanks for that. 🤗 I'm not even mad. I'm impressed by your commitment. Well done!
lol you lied, claiming you identified as Canadian yet immediately refer to the US as your homeland. I'm the troll moving goalposts? Your the one obviously trying to troll here and failing badly at it.
Except I do identify as Canadian and I do live in the U.S. I fit the description you claimed didn't exist and now you are panic-creating new rules for your game of Calvin-ball! 🤣😂
This is fun. Please keep going! What other weird nonsense do you have cooked up for me? Wait, wait! Do the definitions thing again where you invent your own definitions for words that everyone knows is bullshit. Do that one again! 😆🙏🤣
I believe you. Millions don't, but I do.
