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.

Sorry, to me their argument was the police are nazis, not all Germans. ACAB referrs to the institution, as yes there are there can't be good people being police, as they are corrupted, or forced out.
So since i worked with the police, i am inherently corrupt and a bad person?
Did you actively speak out about police brutally and oppression? Did you effect change of the systematic injustices the police department commits?
I wasnt a cop. I worked with them in the terms of cases that i was a witness plus did some IT work under contract. Not everyone that works for the police is a cop. And yes i speak out against the wrong doing of everyone! I went into politics to bring change! I am holding demonstrations and organize them. Against homophobia, transphobia, against the AfD, left extremists, against the actions the CDU does, against russia, that the police should not be the once investigating the cases that were done by them and that their body cams need to be on when ever out in uniform and more
What have you done so faar?
Edit: you said everyone in there is corrupt. No matter if they cant speak out because they cant afford to lose the job, no matter if they speak out but cant change it because they are a single office worker in the police. No you said all are corrupt
Were you employed by the police?
"I did some IT stuff for them under their contract" yes, i had a contract with them
So you were part of the support structure. Gotcha. The institution of the police is corrupt, it doesn't have to be, it could be changed, however as it stands policing is authoritarian.
You said "all police are nazi" I was part of the police. I am starting to think you dont understand fully that there are more than just americans out on the internet, nore that you understand how the police works
If i said that in my deleted comment I apologize, I didn't typed before thinking about what I was saying. ACAB means the police are inherently corrupt, it's built into the system, they oppress those not of the ruling class, they defend them. They beat protestors. If you were employed by the police, as they exist, then yes you were part of the system, maybe you were trying to affect change, good for you. You are missing the Forrest for the trees here. All men are assholes is a true statement, even when "not all men". I am not American, I understand how police work.
