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.

Not against same-sex marriage or allowing homosexual relationships, but i dislike the radical direction and indoctrination of gender ideology and disdain for the family unit and traditional values and culture spreading widely across the west.
Southeast Asia and Asian nations in general have so far been quite conservative on this front. It's good to see progress on decriminalising homosexuality, but let's not forget how quickly things can escalate into insanity. I hope that our asian friends can learn how things can go bad if they move too quickly and radically in the opposite directon, like what the US is having right now. I would expect the Far East will be more cautious in allowing these pathological radical leftist ideologies spread across their youth, knowing how it is destroiyng the fabric of western society (which is partly the reason why the future leading nation of the world will be China in the coming decades)
Homosexuals existing and wanting the same rights is not insanity or radical. It is basic human dignity.
What religion are you a member of?
You did not understand the point of the comment. It is not a matter of wanting the same rights, it is no longer a matter of equality. It is a matter of world view. One thing is to want same civil rights for homosexuals, and the other is to promote an ideology of disdain towards the founding principles of civilisation while doing so, which is what the american and european left is doing. It is far more complex than that, there is a wider agenda behind the lgbtq lobby that goes well beyond the classic struggle for civil rights equality.
Your comment is triyng to frame the conversation assuming things that i never even implied. You should work on your reading comprehension.
It is because you speak nonsense. It is a matter of rights. This video alone is literally about celebrating gay sex being decriminalise. Many countries around the world still ban many things and prosecute gay people. People like you simply don't live in reality and poorly attempt to disguise your homophobia so you don't feel like you are in the wrong when you ARE fucking in the wrong, morally and factually.
If you think it isn't about rights then why don't you force everyone to never have sex period? And while you're at it advocate for no one to get married as well, with death being the penalty. Stop being such a hypocrite.
Can you be precise please? what exactly is this "lgbtq lobby"? what is their "agenda"? What founding principles of civilization are being held in disdain? Are you referring to the patriarchal gender roles which confines women to the home and being baby factories? That seeks to remove they're reproductive rights and bodily autonomy? Or the idea that there is only two correct expressions of gender identity and anything falling outside of this binary is somehow degenerate? Why don't you speak frankly, what are you referring to specifically?
It's clear he is just a bigot and is trying to hide that bigotry behind half baked rationalizations. We will not get a clear answer from him as anything specific can be disproven easily.
I thought the gay agenda myth died in 1996.
Letting nature be the way nature is can only enhance a society. Trying to force people into one box increases stress and unrest, this can be seen when we compare nations who are more lenient on the diversity of gender, sexuality and romanticism, vs nations that try to control people. I am of course not saying this is the only key to have a stable nation, but one in many. Of course, if your society is built on top of a strict set of rules that everyone must oblige on, that society will unfortunately crumble eventually. I can't think of a place that has such a culture or society, that would fail because of people being queer.
I would also like to address some of your wordings, this is not an ideology, let alone a radical one. It is everyone's personal experience in life. Similar to being left handed, having blue eyes or being unable to discern some shades of color. In other words, features that are set before one is born. Instead, an ideology is something we have decided upon. For example, an ideology for a perfect life is to have a 9 to 5 job, a family that only consist of one man, one woman and multiple kids, which all live in a house they own. This is not a natural evolution of life but a man-made setup. I specifically chose an ideology from 1950's USA, I'm sure you see this is not how it works today as it is not achievable by everyone, and so the ideology of a perfect life has changed. I hope yours will too, some day.
Speak for yourself. Thailand is doing well, thank you very much. How about blaming the people who want to force things on other people when they have no business doing so, rather than people who want to decide who they are themselves and others who support them having control over their lives for a chance?
