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.

What are you even talking about lol. Wow your psychosis is bad.
If imperialism and colonialism is justifiable because we as outsiders find a practice abhorrent. Then you have just justified what the United States did to my family. Stealing their homes culture and religion. Would I have wanted to live as they did? Probably not. But we were never given the choice. Because it was stolen. This is what your advocating for. This is why you are rightfully called a hypocrite.
I get that you've never thought about it that far. That you aren't actually against anything bad that's happening. You are simply a Pro Vanguard campist unquestioningly. I'm sure you've never considered that someone could criticize one group's acts without defending anothers. That two things can be bad at the same time. And one bad thing does not justify another bad thing.
Psychosis: managing to suggest that I didn't ask any questions after I asked several dozen on purpose lol.
Try answering even one before you continue your mini incoherent script about "imperialism" and "colonialism" that entirely "coincidentally" is about religious extremists and separatists thar your heart bleeds for while you act like their compatriots who aren't literal jihadis and don't want anything to do with them don't exist.
Is it up to westies like you (but it's really your state department and intelligence services writing the crappy propaganda) to artificially blame some supposedly non-Tibetan central PRC of destroying Tibetan culture as if all Tibetans are united in favor of brainwashing kids? You sure? You act like it so prove it dude. Prove that there are no Tibetans that want to stop the religious and lowkey political indoctrination of children. Let's see you completely fail to prove any of your bs.
Not that you can make any argument whatsoever here, you just misuse the words imperialism and colonialism, ignoring that Tibetans themselves may be against religious extremism in their own culture and that's none of your business. Although even if they were all united and in favor of some messed up cultural practice that doesn't mean that everyone should respect it and allow it to continue. Like, you know, abolishing slavery despite it being "the culture of the South". You suggested peaceful means so slavery should have continued indefinitely because liberating slaves would be "imperialism" and "colonialism" to shills like you.
You're pretty much the shill type who also whines about Confederate general statues being removed as "cultural destruction".
Go on, let's see your proof that all Tibetans want to maintain feudal practices and indoctrination of kids by often politically motivated monks. We all know you're orientalists af and keep imagining Asians etc as eternally feudal rustic peasants that behave like crappy characters in kungfu films that can't possibly be secular or want modernization of their own culture that includes human rights. Tibetans themselves can't possibly want their sons and daughters to be educated, they definitely all want them to be just monks and farmers. We know about your orientalism as well as we know that the USA has been using "religious persecution" for decades as whataboutism against socialist states while intentionally funding the most extreme of them to create astroturfed separatist movements and destabilize sovereign nations. Prevent religious extremism? You're "imperialist" and "colonialist" lmao. Leave them alone? Enjoy a radical right fanatical separatist movement backed by the west. That's the rotten propaganda you're shilling for and the reason you have zero arguments so you resort to "leninist" and other weasely crap to poison the well like a good little propagandist.
So go on, where's your proof? Got any?
