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.
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.

A Nazi and a coward?
Typical and even worse; boring.
Nazi and coward are redundant statements.
Even decades later, it pisses me off Hitler shot himself in his bunker as opposed to getting to have every person in Europe personaly beat him to a bloody pulp.
I graduated first at the top of my class at Wharton’s School of Redundancy School
He’s a stupid fucking child. Slap.
I don't think this is a case a of real politics. He's just ...I don't know the right word or the politically correct word...
Kanye has legit bipolar I or schizoaffective disorder. There was a moment after his mother passed where the guy's entire personality changed and his thoughts became really disorganized, which was likely the first episode of whatever he's still dealing with. My point is you're correct, Kanye's not approaching this as a coherent ideology
I do not buy that he wasn't always a nazi, just that when he takes his meds he remembers he has to hide being a nazi becuase it costs him money. This is another example of him going back on his meds and realizing he just made it harder for himself to earn money, again. His mom was someone who actually tried to look after him and make sure he took his meds, rather than trying to bilk him for every penny.
You can watch "Jeen-yuhs" and see for yourself. Kanye became a different person at a clear point during that documentary. The person saying these things today is not the same person who said "George Bush hates black people." Kanye's never had a very good filter, and there's no way back in the day he was some "secret Nazi" lmao
I'm Bipolar II and I've never once accidentally said "Man I sure do love Nazis" or put official merch of a Swastika.
Sure he's crazy, but bipolar doesn't explain it.
If you're bipolar II, then you've never had a manic episode. People in a severe manic episode (bipolar I) very commonly experience psychosis and go down conspiratorial rabbit holes around politics, race, religion, etc. that they 100% would not have otherwise gone down
At this point, I no longer care. It doesn’t matter how legitimate his excuses may be. He’s spread and popularized enough hatred that I don’t think he deserves sympathy anymore.
It's not an excuse, it's an explanation. Illness doesn't excuse bad behavior
Nah, his mom was the one making sure he took his meds.
Kim divorced him over, his unwillingless to get medicated or help for his condition.
Lumping Ye together with people with intellectual disabilities isn’t fair to those people.
