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.
-
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.

No, but I don't think immigration caused that. What are the other options? Military intervention to keep warlords from ripping apart their countries? Sometimes people need somewhere to go.
So Germany should invade Israel so it prevents terorist attacks in Germany? What are you smoking? Peaceful immigrants protesting: https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/10/19/chaos-in-berlin-65-police-injured-as-pro-palestine-activists-riot-set-fires-during-banned-protest/
I'm saying invading almost always isn't the right answer. And some countries and areas are very deadly. If you prevent immigration, those people will likely die. So the options are immigration or likely death.
I think the small amount of evil that comes from immigration is much less than the huge amount of evil of letting people die in unsafe areas.
Psst... Europe is not the only place to go. In case of Gaza... Egypt is right at the back door, plus there is shitload of countries with similar culture all around. What would you like to say about that ?
Please read my first post again and try to thing at least a little. I am not saying closing the door completely. I am saying opening floodgates without checking those people is a bad idea. Especially if they come from a place where:
I think the small amount of evil that comes from immigrationAre you really serious? Vandalized streets, damaged buildings from bomb attacks and injured people is acceptable? Are you ok? Somebody chases me on the street, you will take me to your home to protect me. I start smashing your house and threaten your family. And you will go and pour me some tea?
