    Really? You mean the nuclear armed globe spanning Isramerican pedophilic empire thrashing about in the it’s final genocidal deathgasms? Just ignore it. It’s harmless.

    You know what’s really dangerous? Cheap solar panels.

      China is absolutely winning by doing literally nothing while Trump continues to make mistake after mistake.

    It’s not just New Zealand. The Democracy Perception Index just came out for 2026 and the US is seen as the largest threat worldwide, a very significant swing from last year. I just watched a Mallen Baker video on the subject.

    Ask Canada… no doubt the same.

    China is sly and utilitarian. The US is stupid and evil. Both are dangerous as opponents, one is obviously more dangerous than the other.

    Edit: It occurs to me now that (some) people are thinking I’m calling China the bigger threat…so I guess I’ll spell it out. The United States is a bigger threat than China.

              Any recognized international human rights organizations agree with you about the uyghurs? What does the United Nations say? You know what the monks in Tibet were doing with their kids? Is there a genocide in Ukraine? That would be news to me! Would love some sources on all of this big news!

    That’s because China is at least consistent with their evil (and final warnings etc), the US is unreliable or capricious: that’s a bigger threat.

      It’s not like Xi isn’t also a Nazi, but he’s predictable where Orange Man is not.

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.

  • 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 OCTOBER 19 2025

  • 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.
