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.

Of course he does. The president literally benefitted directly from Apartheid and feels personally attacked by the reforms around it.
Why does he look like He's wearing makeup to make himself whiter
That's just what ghouls look like. Try not to judge any harder than he judges people.
Didn't most Republicans at the time oppose Mandela and support apartheid? That is the way I remember it.
Yea, just like they oppose Gaza and support Israel’s apartheid
Crying antisemitism is the perfect cover for a fascist.
If anyone would have asked "what type of person did Trump appoint to be the South African ambassador, 10 of 10 Lemmy users would have said "some guy who tried to stop the fight against apartheid"
This dude isn't just White, he's translucent. Light passes through his epidermis, reflects from his dermis, and we're literally seeing inside his body. That pink we see is his meat showing through.
The other day I saw an interview with a sociopath (with a PhD in psychology) who said that doing things she explicitly wasn't supposed to do brought her relief from her inner tension. Most of Trump's political appointments remind me of this. It's like he's doing this shit for the sole reason that everybody keeps telling him not to.
Why do white supremecists always look like smeared dog shit?
This guy thinks his genes are superior... and he's the kind of person you let take the elevator by himself. "Nah, I'll take the next one"
He certainly looks like he's overindulged in something, be it alcohol, sodium, sun or exertion.
I'd seen the headlines, but most — like TPM's — haven't included the name Brent Bozell. He's quite reprehensible, even by Trump standards. Young folks might need an introduction.
Doctor Zaius!?
It’s like playing connect the dots where they did a poor job erasing the lines.
Hah!
So he's sending Elon?
Of course he did. If you're a morally bankrupt piece of human trash, you have a place in Trump's administration
I'm getting Egger from MIB vibes.
Sheesh, how many jobs are they having Musk do
Guy looks exactly as you'd expect him to.
