        Cool that we are finally returning to some grass roots conspiracies.

        The gays and the Jews are running it all. Conspiracies like grandma used to espouse.

    Oh look, we found the global pedophile cabal that’s been running the government. Unfortunately, the people who have been shouting about it for the last decade or so are going to be quiet because it’s their guys and they don’t hold their guys accountable.

      “Their guys”

      You’re so fucking close! Have you heard of Harvard? Bill Gates? Bill Clinton? Woody Allen? Chomsky? Come on man, just look for 5 minutes

      There’s no “their guys” it’s all of them.

        I’m okay with those guys going to jail. Bill Gates is only on Bill Gates side. Woody Allen is pretty shunned as a creep. Chomsky’s a bit of a surprise to some, but I’m okay with him in jail too. What’s the problem?

            I was talking about form, not laws. I was talking about the past, when you were expected to pronounce and spell words “correctly” and their usage mattered. It was a long time ago. If you don’t think that’s true, well I can’t help you. This is “expected” vs. reality. People raised in “proper” environments can attest to that, and there was punishment for dissention, so call it what you will. Used to be a time the president of the USA had to be literate and not a buffoon, but here we are.

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.
