    When Democrats inevitably take power again, and refuse to prosecute these war crimes, remember this to remind yourself that they are the enemy as well, even if not the immediate one.

      I’d argue Democrats coming back to power isn’t inevitable, far from it. America is in for either revolution, civil war or decades of fascist rule. Something needs to give before corporate centrists can hold power in America again, and so far it hasn’t.

        They’re called elections.

        And before you tell me Trump is going to rig them, they just lost the last batch of them.

        So please stop spreading the lie that civil war is inevitable, or that it is more likely to happen than simply MAGA losing power through elections.

          He’s going to rig them and, if that fails, just launch a coup.

          they just lost the last batch of them.

          Yes, because they didn’t actually need to win those. He still has a loyal majority in Congress.

          So please stop spreading the lie that civil war is inevitable

          Someone disagreeing with you isn’t “a lie,” and besides, you should look at what fascism looks like historically. Did the Nazis get voted out post-Enabling Act? This is Trump’s last chance to become the fascist dictator of his dreams and he and his handlers won’t let it go over their dead bodies.

    How did we get to a reality where TV personalities are in charge of armies and command them to kill indiscriminately on a drunken whim?

      Capitalism. When you have nothing, own nothing and can’t afford anything and robber barrons point out some mythical enemy responsible for all of that many people fall for it out of desperation and racism of course.

What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn’t have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title format

Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don’t like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.

URL format

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

[Opinion] prefix

Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn’t explictly endorse.

Country prefix

Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn’t clearly mention the country.

Any kind of discrimination will not be tolerated.

5. Ad hominem attacks

Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can’t argue your position without attacking a person’s character, you already lost the argument.
