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.

I’m horrified by what my government is doing right now, but if one of the side effects is that Mexico experiences an economic renaissance as a result of our idiotic racially-motivated isolationism… well, that is genuinely one hell of a silver lining.
Yeah, I'm with you. This is going to suck for the Americans who fought against the rise of fascism, but it is good for the rest of the world that we're not at the helm anymore.
Excellent points here. Thank you for sharing.
I'm wondering if it might suck - possibly harder - for those who voted for fascism.
Oh, most definitely in a general sense. The difference here is that they're believers.
They're willing to go through pain, agony, and the death of themselves or their loved ones, if they feel like they're in the "moral right" here with their religion.
Religion (the Abrahamic ones especially) are largely based on fascism at its core. After all, why would you question God? Why would a woman question the man of the house? Why would you question the Pope? Etc.
So, objectively, things will get very bad for them, but they will weather it better than those that are fighting fascists.
Agreed.
And the Democrats can sit, watch, and learn what it means to be electable while it happens.
The DNC? Learn?
Lol
This is already backfiring among us mexicans, people are angry because she and her party have scared away jobs with their law breaking policies, negligence and nepotism, so magically now she swears to create jobs for those who left the country... What about the rest of the country?
Besides she can say whatever she wants, until those jobs are created and turn out to actually be decent ones, this is just populism.
Has unemployment risen? I looked at some numbers and it looks really low over the last few years. Not a Mexican.
I'm not seeing anything in that article that indicates these jobs have to be for people who are returning to the country. They seem to be open for anybody. So if you want one of them go get one. Also I point out that these people are citizens so what are you mad about exactly?
Yeah, I swear people on Lemmy love Sheinbaum, but they are not Mexican, so of course they don't know the whole picture.
If we're doing anecdotes, the Mexican side of my family loves Sheinbaum too and are not in Lemmy (+1 friend and her boyfriend as well)
