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.

Yeah the only “allies” the us leadership wants is Putin and maybe Winnie the Pooh. The new axis of stupid. Fuck this country.
It's crazy how the US simultaneously wants the world to depend on them while also treating them like second class Allies. But the moment those allies say it's not worth it and try to form other alliances, the US calls them ungrateful and cries. If you've ever seen or been in a abusive relationship, this is what it looks like on a nation to nation situation
US simultaneously wants the world to depend on them while also treating them like second class Allies.
That's a core principle of colonialism: The colony acts as a cheap resource provider and sales market for the colonizer at the same time while having no actual autonomy.
We also can see a similar dynamic in modern globalism where production facilities were moved to countries where labour is cheap. Which is the reason many people call globalism colonialism 2.0.
Oh I'm well aware. It's just we need to not fall into the W. E. B. Du Bois trap of speaking down to those who need knowledge but do to no fault of their own don't have the knowledge to understand larger concepts. Put things in the a way that the average individual can understand without treating them as idiots. Everyone understands what an abusive relationship is, and how hard it is for those trapped to get out. Colonialism, globalization, capitalism, etc are tough concepts to grasp when the education system failed you. Target the personal aspects of concepts so even the red hats who were home schooled can connect with. We are in an abusive relationship with capitalism. If you feel unhappy with your living, working, and social environment, it's probably not you that's the problem. You are trapped in an abusive relationship with an economic system that was designed to pit you against your friends, family, and neighbors while money that is rightfully yours is taken by those above you.
Quite frankly, if europe wants to cry about being colonies maybe they should've thought before they acted.
Uh what?
Donald Tusk has to be a difficult name to have in this tineline.
His name was universally hated in Poland way before the cheeto man. All this bullshit and how he handled it actually rehabilitated him in lots of people's eyes.
Comming next: Donald Mramp!
Was it actually a US-Poland spat?
I thought it was just Musk running his mouth on Twitter as per.
If that's the case I think it's a dangerous game for the wider world to conflate Musk's actions with the US as a whole
Edit: Seems like it was also US official/s taking part. What a wonderful world we live in 🙃
It was both Musk and Marco Rubio - the "adult in the room" Secretary of State so yeah, it looks like an official stance of the US government.
Oh, in that case I take it back.
God, I hate this timeline!
Not sure what you mean. Everybody knows Musk is the actual President, Trump is just a puppet.
Puppetrump
Every time I see the words Secretary of State Marco Rubio I almost do a spit take.
I can only imagine what happens when you see the words, President of the United States Donald Trump.
Your dry cleaning bill must be astronomical.
You forgot the “J.” DOGE will be efficiencizing you shortly…
I'm sorry..Donald tusk?
I wonder if the name Donald will have a sharp decline in popularity (not that it has ever been a popular name) as a result of his brutish authoritarianism the way that the name Adolf did after World War II.
Yeah; Latvia needs to elect an Elon Mump next….
PM of Poland.
I guess many Americans haven't heard of him, which is odd given Poland is the first bastion against Russia and a very strong US ally. Well was anyway.
My polish knowledge starts and stops at 'kurwa bober'
You know everything there is to know. If you also admit that Maria Curie-SKŁODOWSKA was Polish and concentration camps German, then we can grant you the title of honorary Pole... But please for the love of God... DO NOT confuse the two.
