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.

the message here is ambiguous. are those 1164 arbitrary bela/russians or they're actual threats that happened to be bela/russian. that being said, if one thinks we should just kick people out because they were from the wrong country, just know y'all are becoming Nazis. this shit is scarier than you think. now that the precedent of kicking them out has been set, what's the next line?
If only there was a news story that provided additional information on why those individuals were selected out of the ~58,000 Belarusian and ~16,000 Russian citizens living in Lithuania.
They were being questioned whether they support war, how the war started, what Crimea belongs to, thoughts about the soviet union.
If they're moronic enough to not lie, their temporary permit is no longer extended.
You make it sound like they all have just one opinion, but some lie and some don't.
Yeah, the ones that don't lie get their temp visas revoked.
facepalm There are pro-Ukrainian ones there, lots of them.
Yes and they haven't been removed.
Sure, videocalling with one right now. That's not what I've been discussing, I was highlighting the suboptimal wording that suggested there were none.
I'm confused about what your confused about. They were asked if they support the war, if they don't support the war then by default they are Pro Ukrainian. Everything else is just about degrees of support.
They wrote "they were asked about [their views]... those who were moronic enough not to lie, were deported", which reads as "not lied => deported" to me. Let's break it down:
Pro-Kremlin, lied = no claims; not deported, I guess.
Pro-Kremlin, not lied = claims they are deported; understandable.
Pro-Ukrainian, lied = no claims; wtf tho.
Pro-Ukrainian, not lied = claims they are deported; that'd be stupid.
Am I clear enough now?
Why let the propaganda into your home? If every nation did this it would increase pressure back in Russia. If they are actively attacking an innocent state then why should their people get a vacation?
This is about Russians living elsewhere not on vacation
Russian's living elsewhere but actively stating they support Russia, they like Russia so much we're letting them go back.
We have been "nazi" for a long time. All states and nations are rooted in nationalism and violence.
After wwii plenty of nazis who switched side were welcomed by the allies to help in the cold war

Just so you know that is called the slippery slope fallacy.
Just because one person did thing x and then did thing y, and think y was bad. It does not mean that everyone who does thing x inevitably is going to do thing y
You have to provide a little more evidence than the Nazis did it.
