I'm in full support of cutting off from the US entirely and branching out on our own to hang with the rest of the world. Life is too short to be so angry all the time, best way to play this game is to not play it at all and start your own club.

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.

You. I’ll happily deal with Europe directly and avoid any U.S. products. Let’s go Canada and forge our future.
Fuck the current Nazi American regime!
I see the current situation like a playground. we cant just ignore bullies but we definitely don't have to play with them! Theres lots of other fun groups to hang out with! It sucks that the bully has singled us out to pick on us and is trying to take our lunch money but we can just tell him to fuck off! That will make him super mad but thats what friends are for!
It's already in progress: a few days ago we became a partner in a EU defense procurement deal.
oh thats fun! I'd love it if we shored up manufacturing and logistics to boot so we're more self-sufficient. That would be expensive but could be a great investment in the long run if we do it right
The US is a failed nation. Treat its government as such.
May I have asylum if I can usually read French but struggle with speaking it because of tenses and stuff?
You don't need to know french at all outside Quebec, that province is kind of like its own country (IMO). Source: live in Ontario with family in la belle provence, I've spent a fair bit of time up there. That said I still love Quebec its beautiful. My spanish is better than my french haha!
Yeah, we are still trying not to get invaded, so maybe keeping our enemies close is still relevant? I do t know, I'm conflicted.
