This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

We have to be clear about the fact that this was not merely a "tragic accident" it was a crime. This was mass murder by the settler state on a colonized people. The neglectful policies of the colonial government of Hawaii compounded on the effects of climate change which the US is doing everything it can to accelerate and which they know will disproportionately affect indigenous populations and poor people.
but its a wildfire, its natural...its not manmade.
Whether or not the fire was set by someone or started "naturally" the blame still lies on those who created the conditions in which it could get this out of control and result in so many victims. If you allow an entire island to turn into a tinderbox and on top of that fail to prepare an adequate response then you are responsible for the fire and the destruction it causes, regardless of where the first spark came from. The people who have the most blood on their hands in this incident are those who sit thousands of miles away in their offices and make policies or run companies which continue to contribute to global warming.
we cannot blame the gov, wildfires are too dangerous to send anyone there. Itd be a death sentence.
We can probably send Biden in there if like we get 10 people to carry him
