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.

If Trump looses the election, I'm sure he'll take the offer. If Trump wins the election US will become Russia.
Hey a problem that solves itself. Nice.
Kick out Steven Seagal to vatnikland too.
Ship em all over there so they can be ukranian target practice dummies
So uh, I appreciate everyone's sentiment, but this would actually make our problems worse. Living in Russia does not prevent you from running a propaganda network, though sanctions might possibly interfere with supplements sales.
What living in Russia definitely does do, though, is prevent our legal system from reaching you with any form of consequences. Many of our fiercest propaganda foes do live safely in Russia where we just cannot reach them very easily, and they are still a major problem. A lot of the fake local "news" websites, for instance, are run by one single American expat, living in Russia. He just remakes them when they get taken down, he's made hundreds, all spreading a mix of copied real news and standard Russian propaganda.
Things aren't always as simple as they seem. Most things, actually.
yes please. people who don't like them are intrigued as well. please do it.
I wonder how happy Putin would be when they get this guy that is known for spreading misinformation against the government trough a whole country.
He'll have lots of competition here. Won't be anything as big.
But his competition is pro Russia. And it seems like it's second nature to him to hate on his government.
I wonder if people who defect to north korea are also similarly dense
...and step 2 is up to Ukraine.
Anyway what's the latest on the long range missile limitations?
It is a trap that is hidden in the details
it will really suck to live in that country for quite a while it seems
Provided that any assets remain in the USA then just go. Also stay gone. Also no whining.
Most of Alex Jones's assets are already going to the Sandy Hook families. He can leave once he's paid up.
DIG THE FUCKING HOLE!!
