      I like your post. 50 years from now, high school students are going to open their US History book and read what the orange bumble fuck said during a war he started. Humiliating and perhaps the Americans might learn a lesson from the MAGA disaster.

        Americans learning true history, instead of propaganda?

        Never gonna happen. When orange turd dies, there will be zero changes to your democratic system and a new pedophile controlled by billionaires will be elected.

            I’m talking about education and the American capitalist propaganda and brainwashing in American schools.

            Did you know that in the USA about 70% of the history curriculum in schools is USA history, and only about 30% is about the rest of the world. But the USA is not even 250 years old!

            Compare that with Europe, where kids spend about 30% of the time learning about their own country’s history and 70% learning other history.

            Americunts don’t even realise just how brainwashed and full of capitalist propaganda they are.

              Preaching to the choir. Good job ignoring what your government is lying about while doubling down on obvious common knowledge.

      Adding some sources, in case people think these quotes are satirical.

      Edits: some longer quotes (which takes away from the punchy format by Linken) and non-chronological groupings.

      • 2026-02-28 “When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take”

      • 2026-04-01 “We never said regime change, but regime change has occurred because of all of their original leaders’ death — they’re all dead […] The new group is less radical and much more reasonable.”

      • 2026-04-01 “We are in this military operation so powerful, so brilliant, against one of the most powerful countries, for 32 days,”

      • 2026-04-01 “We’re going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We’re going to bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong.”

      • 2026-04-04 “48 hours before all Hell will reign [sic] down on them.”

      • 2026-04-05 “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”

      • 2026-04-06 “Every bridge in Iran […] every power plant […] I mean complete demolition by 12 o’clock”

      • 2026-04-07 “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”

      Apr 8: TACO!

        That’s the thing I was wondering about the TACO meme. Is it good to mock him on chickening out when it is best for everybody that he does chicken out?

          It’s always a good idea to mock him. If he can’t handle it he is free to resign.

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.
