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.

Are you fucking kidding me with this racist shit?
don't want this dude anywhere near children. wtf
never heard of these shit stains before this but they are complete trash from what I have found
Took one look at the website and my creeper alarm went off big.
WTF!! I thought it had an air of pedo shit but I didn't feel like looking into it at all. jesus fucking christ what a human shit stain
Where do you derive the authority? No seriously where the fuck do you get off thinking you have any right to even suggest this?
You are one stupid piece of shit
Fuck off pedo scum. You and your kind destroy the lives of children, mine included. You have the gall to throw stones here when you support the abuse of children? I hope you get what's coming to you.
are you aware you can be sued for defamation for calling people pedos that aren't pedos? Anyway, 1. not a pedo. 2. I literally don't support the abuse of children.
Sue me then. I don't give a fuck.
Why are you supporting a pro-pedophile organization if you aren't one then?
Why are you calling a child sex abuse prevention organization a "pro-pedophile organization". Sounds like you don't give a shit about actually doing something to prevent child sex abuse, you just want to performatively virtue signal (like basically everyone else).
It's so exhausting that people like you would rather wait until AFTER abuse has occurred and then feel outraged about it, instead of the decent thing of actually preventing abuse before it actually fucking happens.
USA has a higher rate of crime, homicide, and rape than India.
As if all rapes get reported in India. By your logic, Sweden would be the rape capital of the world. They just have different reporting standards, DUH.
Whataboutism is not an alternative for making a valid point.
I'm not sure this conveys the point you tried to make. That's kind of a low bar, to be honest.
i am not sure about usa but, the reason that it is lower than usa probably because of less corruption and reporting plus USA is more progressive and developed country than india.
Even if, and this is off course off-topic, some people in the US are doing their worst to "fix" the "progressive" part. They won't be happy before all free speech, all non-church education, all free decisionmaking has been dismantled in favor of their dream cult-like fundamentalist christian and xenophobic glorious kingdom.
as an indian i completely understand and agree you. we have the worst genetics especially the middle indians, ,
but instead of nuking you can just replace the regieme by isolating BJP more. and leave AAP (a progresive party) to sort these freaks out.
"nuke the unevolved savage freaks" is the most blatant example of standard issue online "it's ok to say racist things about Indians" I have ever seen. I have no idea how anyone in 2023 could not have a single brain cell to make them rethink a statement like that before clicking the comment button.
ik but i think they were expressing their understandable outrage we shouldn't take their expression literally.
"WE HAVE THE WORST GENETICS"
Holy SHIT, my dude. You need to take a SERIOUS step back and question the eugenicist colonial bullshit you've internalized. I would advise taking a look at Swami Vivekananda's assessments of India and Indian people.
idk what is that but thanks for recommendation. but the source you recommended is written by one of us , so it might be biased. anyways i will check it out thanks for recommendation.
Vivekananda is one of the most brilliant minds in modern India, contemporary with Gandhi, and only less well known because he died so young.
And "what that is" is that you've blindly accepted outsiders' racist assessments of your people. You really need to question that shit:

You don't have to excuse blatant racism.
well the thing is indians are not a single race. they are so heavily mixed that they are so hard to differentiate.
and i agree some cultures are better than the other.
Like just take a look at the map and this list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Asian_ethnic_groups#:~:text=a%20genetic%20basis.-,List%20of%20ethnic%20groups%20on%20the%20basis%20of%20language,-%5Bedit%5D
As another Indian, how about you go fuck your self-hating self.
And the BJP can go fuck itself too
Seconded, their comments just kept getting horrible somehow. Like at first it felt like internalised racism but then it's clear that they just hate a subsection of Indians, this bigotry has levels now (casteism was already there, so it's not really new I guess)
