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.
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.

And yet no German politician will dare claim that achievement because they still think they can appease the far right.
And the far right will still paint the integration as failing because the people voting right are almost exclusively not living in cities and not in contact with immigrants of any kind so all they see are the Horrorstories in the media which reports all migrant-violence but not that every other day there's a femicide by a German.
It's so shitty how skewed the whole discussion is because media doesn't want to be seen as biased by not reporting on some local dispute ending in violence so they Overreport everything instead...
Last weekend there was an attack in Berlin where 20 Neonazis kicked people's heads when they were already on the ground and they specifically targeted people going to a left wing protest
Somehow that's only local news but a group of migrants harassing a woman regularly is newsworthy enough to make German-wide headlines...
Far right voters are unfortunately not exclusively living outside of cities. Especially in Berlin, where the Nazi attack happened, the "conservative" CDU won the elections after saying police should publish the names of juvenile suspects, so that the public could judge, whether they are "real Germans" or "only German citizens". And the "social democrat" SPD in Berlin threw away a majority coalition with Green and Left party to become junior under the CDU. More than half of the people in Berlin voted fascist AfD, far-right CDU or center-right SPD with these three parties.
If you want to look at Munich, similiar story with the even further right bavarian CSU and FW, where having a past as holocaust celebrator gets you votes instead of costing them. Look at Hamburg, where the SPD Pimmelminister of the interior sends out the police to harass people with raids, after they already admitted to the "crime" of calling him a Pimmel on Twitter.
Look at the Sylt-Videos where in the upper class rich peoples holiday resort they chanted "Deutschland den Deutschen, Ausländer raus" (Germany the Germans, foreigners out) and proudly posted it on social media.
It is not a problem exclusive to rural areas. It is a huge problem in all of Germany. It is a huge problem in all parts of German society, no matter the income, education, or population density.
