What is my proposed solution to the nuclear bomb threat? The middle east conflict? The inequality of rich vs. poor? What do you expect from me? That I write a 5 liner about NK being a proxy of china and then also in 5 additional lines solve that problem? You know, things are complex and I am sure if you give me 10.000 pages, 24 Month and 30 experts with each 10 connections to three letter agencies of 10 different countries, there might be some ways to get something that could be defined as a “way” or “solution” but we are talking about global politics. To just define the player and their positions in this game is too complex for a simple Lemmy post. Let alone the 20 year plan for a “solution”. I advice you to read on this topic of publications from the last 30 years. Then you can skip the part about the positions of players in the game and might find that its a equation of a conflict between democratic vs. authoritarian that will play out in the next 30-60 years. The last try by the west to open up china to more democracy by opening the markets did not worked out. Chinese citizen were allowed to open companies and bring goods to western markets while westerns were not able to own companies in china. China pulled up the great firewall, increased surveillance, exporting that surveillance tech to other despots and dictators, tracking citizens even in other countries to suppress their words against that regime in china and is cracking down on freedoms in general even more since Xi got into power. So now the west is looking for another “solution” for the authoritarian threat looming over 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.
