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.
-
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.

TLDR: It's impossible to be "vAgUeLy rAcIsT" to cultists at best, murderous war-mongers at worst.
Hamas and Daesh claim to follow the teachings of Islam. Islam is a religion.
One can't be "racist" against followers of a religion.
Religions, among other things, are philosophical claims of divine origins in ontology and morality. Being an adherent is not determined by one's genetic lineage, it's determined by choice, and usually coercively.
Any religious philosophy absolutely demands scrutiny from anyone with critical thinking skills. Religions don't deserve "automatic respect" their proponents seek, especially the monotheistic ones.
The "final solution" for civilization is a clear one: reject, fight, and deny the parties of god(s). Don't legitimize their political, scientific, and moral claims. They don't care about anyone else's. They're here to impose their will and they don't hide it.
Otherwise the jews, christians and muslims will get to do what they've always done: drag the rest of the world into their carnage and slaughter as they hate-fuck each other into the Armageddon they seek, by their own admission.
In their own words, "they love death more than we love life", will kill, and clearly have before, to prove it. Even their own. Especially their own.
Westboro Baptists are Christians, Christian is also a religion, ergo...
You're still a bigot. There's probably racism in the mix, but I'm kinda done with this exchange. You're legitimately using white supremacist talking points and you probably don't even realize it
Wtf?
I'm a bigot because Westboro Baptists are Christian?
Wat?
But I'm using white supremacist talking points?
I'm brown IRL and the only thing I hate more than god-botherers are the "white-is-right" mouth-breathers, eRgO I'm definitely against them too.
Let me spell it out for ya, skippy:
Ya can't be racist or a bIgOt against a religion or religious people.
A religion is a moral philosophy and a belief in how existence works; something ya gotta choose to believe in.
You can't choose your ethnicity or where you were born, or a lot of other traits. You can choose your religion and what you believe.
And if what you choose to believe in is cruel, murderous, cultish, abusive, etc., and you think it's okay because god is on your side, you're at the very least a bona fide asshole...
... And deserve disrespect, ridicule, contempt, and an ass whooping if you try and push your flappy-gum "you need to _____, because my ~~invisible friend~~ god said so."
I mean do you really believe the whole Israel-Palestinian conflict is made better or worse by the zionist and/or conservative jews and the wahabi/salafi islamists?
Awe shucks, guess "dAsS raYciSs".
