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.

This response right here is the statement that makes the border just get more and more violent. The US is just going to start pulling a Poland and kill anyone who attempts crossing-no questions asked-unless mexico taskes some actual action against the Sinaloa and gulf cartels.
So far all they do is get in bed with them and let the problem spiral to the point where they don't have to acknowledge law enforcement.
So call names and be racist all you want, this shit will happen regardless of what Mexico 'wants'. They're not powerful enough to get a say, that's just the way it is.
So basically, the melian dialogue, might makes right, that's where we're at, right? Go ahead, treat the rest of the hemisphere as your private fiefdom, and then be surprised about antiamericanism. Look at the way you're talking. It's like the 19th fucking century all over again. "Racist"? What the fuck man. You got offended by "gringo"?! Really?! You're talking like a United Fruit Company exec and you're calling me a racist? You put "wants" in quotation marks and you call me a racist? As if what, Mexico is not a real country, right? They don't get a say, right? Angloamericans know best. The rest are just pretend countries. I'm Canadian and even I vomit a bit with the imperialist attitudes being expressed in this thread, and your feefees got hurt by the word gringo? Tabarnak des maudits esti d'americains, calisse de caves.
Skepticism-deprived people — eager to believe and spread obvious untruths like what you've posted — are the biggest danger America faces.
