A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Felon Drink Bleach praising Erdogan is not surprising.
Do people remember the day that Erdogan humiliated the United States?
Following a meeting with Trump in Washington, DC, on May 16, 2017, he ordered his goons to beat up protesters. And they certainly did - with no repercussions.

The Trump administration did nothing about it.
I remember that day. And I won't forget it.
There have been so many offenses by this administration it's hard to keep up and retain them all, but that one day has stuck with me ever since. We got cucked at our own capital in front of the world and this orange bitch did nothing. If nothing else right-wingers should be furious about that. It's insane.
I would honestly say that agreeing with what Erdogan is doing i Turkey, thinking that Trump should behave the same way and thinking that Turkish lesdership shouldn't be allowed to act in that way in another country are entirely compatible views.
Like, I don't think Erdogan is doing good things, and I don't think America should go that way. I wouldn't want my country to go that way. But most of all I wouldn't want another country to do that in my backyard.
I have no idea why this wasn't brought up during the election campaign. Seems like such a telling event that Trump stands with dictators over citizens.
Because conservatives are fascists who want to be ruled by a king. They want a dictator.
Yeah, I guess research into that topic showed it didn't sway conservatives.
Trump is a fucking cuck
I didn't need proof that Trump doesn't care about Americans, but that really should have been enough proof for everyone. They kicked a pregnant woman when she was down and used brass knuckles on peaceful protesters on American soil... not a peep from Trump
He also praised Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un and Invader Vlad. What did you expect?
I like how his base has no problem with Trump praising a Muslim. Do they even care about the racism anymore or is it all irrelevant in the face of the will of their great leader?
They hate their fellow Americans more than they hate foreigners these days.
They truly do think the greatest evil is liberalism, empathy, and compassion. They'll back anyone who thinks opposite.
Uhm, those Muslims are an ocean and a continent away. I think this is similar with hating Jews while supporting Israel.
That makes sense.
Dictators gotta stick together.
I still fondly remember the time where a president could be kicked out because of some oral sex with an intern.
Today, I cannot maintain a proper list of abuse or lies by the current president and his cronies, it would be a day job.
Of course he does. Dictator bros stick with Dictator Bros.
It's pretty impressive how consistently he picks the wrong side in every single situation.
Turds United!
Because of-fucking-course Felon-47 would praise him.
Of course he does because he sees himself being targeted by the masses. Sooner rather than later I hope.
