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.

MEMRI is an op, literally founded by Israeli intelligence

[โ€“] cayde6ml@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

MEMRI is an op, but to completely disregard anything and everything they say is ridiculous. We have a responsibility to police ourselves, and ignoring the flaws of our "critical" allies that we critically support gives the enemy opportunity to exploit.

Yeah I already wrote a comment about this before this one. Just pointing out that MEMRI is completely unreliable. And the headline itself, promoted by them, is bullshit. The contents is where you find some actually problematic statements, though they are in no way new for Assad.

Bro, there were other channels who reported the same. He also said about Khazar jews who were pagans and got converted into Judaism. These are popular tropes in mainstream right wing islamic community to deny the very existence of judaism and jewish people as a whole.

Yes I know I pointed this out in a different comment first. Just wanted to clarify MEMRI's status as absolute trash that will always paint Israel's perceived enemies in the worst possible light, both through uncharitable translations and misleading editorialization on meanings.
