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)

Other generations should also be on the side against dropping jdams on children's hospitals but yeah, of course the older Gen that benefited from imperialism won't see it that way
I've been off of mainstream social media for all of this, so my view is limited. But all of the people I've been talking to regularly IRL, I've been educating or conversing with about this conflict as I educate myself. And so far, across 3 generations, everyone has been pretty receptive to the history and facts, and some are even open to reading a couple books on Palestinian history with me. All of them see the basic justness of the Palestinian cause.
I think there are at least some people within every generation who are still ignorant but could yet receive the truth.
That’s just basic empathy. Anyone who actually looks at the facts will have sympathy for the Palestinian people. The problem is how most MSM is just repeating lies, and same with social media. At least dissident voices (with such obvious correctness) are given a chance on these sites, unlike in the past.
Absolutely. It's a fortunate thing that nowadays we have a greater capacity than ever to break through the propaganda and access that empathy, and hopefully turn it into widespread international pressure that can strengthen the Palestinian liberation struggle.
If you can convince friends and family members to examine the facts with you, you can make progress towards that end— occasionally even in unexpected places.
It is important to note that the older generations in the Wetsern European diaspora had depended on the enslavement and inheritance thief of Indigenous children in fake schools that began in 1850s and suppoedly ended in 1998 which provided the older generations of immigrants, especially European immigrants, a huge amount of luxury for little work although they falsely attributed their luxurious lives to their own merit. There is no way for the older generations of Western European diapora to understand the savagery and filthy mentality of their violent culture when they benefited greatly from racist double standards.
