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

MODERATORS
It's also generally healthier than american food I would assume
I think this mostly has to do with the extensive use of vegetables cooked in various tasty ways. Western dishes (specifically West European) seem to have very few good techniques to cook vegetables, leading white children to hate veggies. I think this is exacerbated in Britain and their Anglo-Saxon colonies (cue the meme about British food having no seasoning).
Also, proper Asian dishes tend not to actually use much oil. Stir frying only lightly coats the outside of food with oil, very different from western deep frying.
Anecdotally, I feel less greasy and sludgy after eating fried Sichuan dishes than comparable fried Western dishes.
It depends. Definitely tastier.
Yeah, McDonald's tastes like cardboard
Sorry, I've only been there once, but from what I have been told by canadians / americans, fast food is consumed quite frequently there. They even eat breakfast at fastfood restaurants.
I sound like a boomer lol, I know that there are many different dishes, but the general eating habits seem to be way unhealthier than in other parts of the world. I have never seen so many overweight people anywhere else, though I don't blame them individually, the problem is systematic.
Really depends but they do use a ton of oil.
