Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Thank you!
Some might say they're aligning on the same Axis...
They are just trying to bring order to our one world.
“Nationalists of all nations: unite!”
So we have to be militant about forming a global resistance.
Debout, les damnés de la terre Debout, les forçats de la faim La raison tonne en son cratère, C'est l'éruption de la faim. Du passé faisons table rase, Foule esclave, debout, debout Le monde va changer de base, Nous ne sommes rien, soyons tout.
C'est la lutte finale ; Groupons nous et demain L'Internationale Sera le genre humain.
Il n'est pas de sauveurs suprêmes Ni Dieu, ni César, ni Tribun, Producteurs, sauvons-nous nous-mêmes Décrétons le salut commun. Pour que le voleur rende gorge, Pour tirer l'esprit du cachot, Soufflons nous-mêmes notre forge, Battons le fer tant qu'il est chaud.
L'État comprime et la Loi triche, L'impôt saigne le malheureux ; Nul devoir ne s'impose au riche ; Le droit du pauvre est un mot creux C'est assez languir en tutelle, L'Égalité veut d'autres lois ; "Pas de droits sans devoirs, dit-elle Égaux pas de devoirs sans droits."
Hideux dans leur apothéose, Les rois de la mine et du rail Ont-ils jamais fait autre chose Que dévaliser le travail ? Dans les coffres-forts de la banque Ce qu'il a crée s'est fondu, En décrétant qu'on le lui rende, Le peuple ne veut que son dû.
Les rois nous saoulaient de fumée, Paix entre nous, guerre aux Tyrans Appliquons la grève aux armées, Crosse en l'air et rompons les rangs ! S'ils s'obstinent ces cannibales A faire de nous des héros, Ils sauront bientôt que nos balles Sont pour nos propres généraux.
Ouvriers, paysans, nous sommes Le grand parti des travailleurs, La terre n'appartient qu'aux hommes, L'oisif ira loger ailleurs. Combien de nos chairs se repaissent ! Mais si les corbeaux, les vautours, Un de ces matins disparaissent, Le soleil brillera toujours.
Nation-states are dying. Global factions are taking over, and establishment neoliberals don’t realize it’s happening.
The thing fascists and authoritarians always forget is that there are more of us than there are of them.
It doesn't mean it's a nice contest or a heroic fight ... it's terribly ugly and horrible when the fighting starts but there are always more socially minded people than ignorant ones. It's been the case for thousands of years and I don't think we'll break that pattern any time soon
It's happened before! But it cost so much. Humans can really get warped by extremism until they finally get sick of it after many have died.
Well yes and no. Leftists have a massive division problem, always had and probably always will. The whole numbers thing doesn't matter much when those numbers are like oil and water.
Which is why there is a push for robots,automation,and ai. To reduce the odds.
So ..... we're building the instruments that will destroy us and win the world for them?
Not in votes.
Yes in votes..?
Is this an attempt to create the New World Order I’ve been hearing about for years?
Teenager me feels avenged right now lol
New World Order formed sometime around 2013 didn’t they? At least that’s when they dropped their self-named album.
Personally, I’m more a fan of New Order.
Naa, they 'took over' WCW in about nineteen ninety ~~eight~~ six.
So what you're saying is, everything that's wrong with the world right now is Vince Russo's fault?
Like a sort of alliance, or perhaps an Axis of power if you will.
Hey I remember how this went last time and ended because I paid attention in fucking school....
Fuck these arrogant fucks for causing so much harm in the world
The super wealthy have demonstrated the kind of solidarity that could smash the bourgeoisie.
An axis, if you will.
next marxist workers' international when?
If that's his goal, then it wasn't very smart to make the far right leaders from other nations, who travelled to the US to be at his inauguration, watch the live stream with the other plebs.
They know it's best for them not to be seen gathered together all at once. They've all been playing a patient long game (even if some among their followers don't).
And billionaires.
