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.
-
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 applaud holding rich people accountable, yet I'm militantly opposed to the death sentence.
I think there's quite some no wage labor left in them, let them try that out for a change.
The most difficult argument to argue against against the death penalty is that you cannot repair for the damages of executing a person you've wrongly convicted, if new evidence appears too late.
This doesn't even mean there aren't people who deserve to die, or who deserve suffering. Rather, it's an acknowledgement of the fallibility of human institutions.
That's why death penalty shouldn't exist for crimes like a wife killing a husband. You might be 99.9% sure she poisoned him, but you cannot know for sure.
However, a school shooter caught red handed shooting a school?
Some crimes and scenarios can warrant the death penalty in my mind
Next argument is "what if the government framed people to execute them?"
Why in the world would the government point out that they are executing someone?
If the government (the rich controlled government) wants you dead they would do it quietly.
Even something as simple as cutting your brake lines. You really think local police are going to figure out that the government had soldier 65478 tamper with your brake lines?
Militantly you say? To what end?
I'm overstating, but yeah I want them alive. To eat a way out. There's plenty menial tasks they can do .
Not OP, but
You use firearms = Militarily =/= Militantly = You go out of your way to actively advocate for something
Sending someone to a work camp is more humane than taking their life?
It's reversible at least. I'm not for unusual punishment, just got the exact conditions of a Vietnamese laborer at the bottom rung.
So you're okay with sending someone to a work camp if "they probably did it, more than likely"? Because at least it's reversible...
So what if they have to spend 10 years breaking rocks in the sun. Oopsie daisies
You misrepresent what I said. If going guilty they are eligible to do the work many do for sustenance, not heavier or more. Just what other people do.
Not a work camp, just living the life of many.
There's many proud garbagemen and cleaners, of they are any good, they might even climb the division ladder. But they are last, castwise.
Like reincarnation, only we do it right here. Garbage men are their superiors.
I’m with you here
