Extremely common. And before that, there were bombing raid drills -- get under a table or into a doorway when the siren goes off, because Soviet missiles are inbound. Both my parents remember these. It was complete propaganda, designed to instill fear into people, because there's no way a simple wooden barrier is going to protect you from a thermonuclear strike -- as my very cynical grandpa apparently said, "don't hide when you hear the siren, just bend down and kiss your ass goodbye." Unfortunately, school shooting drills serve a much more real and practical purpose.

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.
