      This is exactly the sentiment the Republicans here say when migrants come to the US to seek a better life.

      Congrats on not being better, but just being somewhere else.

          Okay…

          That is the same point of view of the Republicans who have systemically ruined the US. If it’s a point of view that you actually hold, then you’re the same kind of shitbag, just in a different country.

              Don’t tell us what to do, hypocrite. Just because my grandparents got swept off their feet by American propaganda doesn’t mean I owe my life to an empire based on slavery.

          You know… If you consistently espouse and vehement defend the same talking points that I’ve been hearing from Republicans for the last my-whole-life, I think it is fair to call that you a Republican. You might self-identify as something different, the same way North Korea identifies as a democracy, but that just changes the label, not the ideology.

        They’re seeking a better life because they have no choice.

        Americans are seeking escape from a vote result that some didn’t even participate in.

          People almost always have a choice, though it might not be a good one. It’s arrogant to assume you know better when they make that choice.

        migrants come to the US to seek a better life.

        Really depends on what part of the US they settle into. Some places are highly welcoming of immigrants, but some others are pretty much sundown towns.

          Only an American would tell someone from another country talking about Americans complaining in their country to shut the fuck up.

          If you’re not an American you should know better.

          How about they fuck off back to America.

              Nope, you just don’t like hearing it, for the pathetic excuses you’re doing it.

              No point has gone over my head. You just can’t handle the mirror.

              It’s no different for all of us with the spine to call it. It’s a shame you couldn’t show the same commitment at the polling booth that you do with whining and reacting badly to others that are sick of giving your shit a free pass.

              Not just here either.

                your anger is so adorable, misplaced, but adorable.

                I can imagine you’re just like an angry little leprechaun.

                ok buddy, go on back to your rainbow before you hurt yourself.

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.
