      Good policy for bad (or at least not principled) reasons. It’s for money. They consider Israel “high risk” because of the war. China doesn’t give a shit about human rights. They send their own Muslims to concentration camps.

        True. It’s a state. I can’t think of a time a state did something for purely altruistic reasons.

          Could have sworn I saw an article about them curing diabetes the other day:

          And I also saw an American tourist use their healthcare system:

            Historically the US funded a lot of important medical research. Do you think they did this for altruistic reasons?

        It’s also to say they have principles. It’s hard for the USA or Europe to criticize their human rights abuses while continuing to support Israel. It’s a way to highlight western hypocrisy while avoiding risk. Remember they still invest into other high risk countries. High risk can lead to high reward.

            Yes, and we should continue to do so. However, lets not pretend that immoral actions by America and Europe don’t undermined their position.

          No sources given, just more casual propaganda. Shame @Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz was downvoted for not giving into such bullshit.

        When they finished executing all those people who watched the show, they executed the people who caught them, for having seen the show too. Then they executed the judges for knowing what a TV show was. Then they executed me for posting about it. (I got better)

                  You’re a dumbass. North Korea"s treatment of human life is well documented Internationally.

                    So is their necromancy, since tons of people declared “executed” by tabloids are later seen alive.

                    Eh, I heard the same thing about China, then I went there, and I heard the same thing about Iran, but everyone I talked to who’s actually been there had much more level-headed criticisms of the government than the horseshit the news makes up.

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.
