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.

I don't think putting a unified fascist populace behind the strongest military in the world is a great idea.
It's fine, most of the good stuff needs basic literacy to operate.
Source: worked on some of the good stuff. Also mostly moved to Europe.
That's a nice fantasy, fascists being incapable of reading and therefore incapable of invading other countries and killing people.
I would suggest you do not read a history book if you value the peace of mind that comes with that belief.
I lived in the south, they can't read.
They can invade, but that won't go well for them, they're basically Russians doing stupid human wave attacks.
Again, I wish I lived in the world you think exists.
Btw, you do realize that's the whole reason the worthless inbred defective trash lost the civil war in the first place right?
It was a blowout, they fought hard in the beginning, but once ... you know, basic industry came around, they were just brain-dead monkeys getting fed into a woodchipper.
We made this shit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Monitor
They had 1 ironworks for the whole south, and thought starting a war was a good idea, they couldn't make rolling stock, and when Sherman made his railroad neckties, that was it for them, they were done.
You can't possibly imagine how unimaginably backwards they are, they literally live hundreds of years in the past if it weren't for us giving them all their technology, their universities are a joke in comparison, if you can call them universities.
It wouldn't be a war, it would barely be pest control.
Can you blog about this somewhere that doesn't involve me? Calling the US economy backwards is laughable and now I don't respect you.
Bye.
The US economy isn't backwards.
The southern economy is.
The scenario at hand isn't US Civil War 2. Pay better attention to reading next time so you don't waste everyone's time.
It will be.
You made a pretty significant reading error and you're trying to say other people don't read well.
That's hilarious.
Where do you think the American fascists came from?
https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691172422/hitlers-american-model
He used the Jim Crow south as his model for Germany, and after the war, black GIs came back from liberating Europe to be lynched by Southern law enforcement.
They are our fascists, through and through, always have been.
I think you didn't understand the question yourself.
I don't know how to help you. You changed the conditions of the hypothetical and are now puffing your chest out, defending your conclusions from it.
Just drop another line about your CV and peace out.
I lived in that world.
Also worked on defense tech.
Let's just say I'm drooling a bit.
You keep saying that. Masturbate to your own fiction somewhere else.
