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)

Nah, I feel general American leaders and intellectuals to be psychotic. Full of Jesus is coming on the next war Armageddon , so let's bomb Russia crazy ๐ , Russian empire was just benign when compares to US imperialism in 20 to 21st century or it's genocidal campaign against the native Americans and land grab of Mexico. Uff.. Just beyond fucked up... People are not allowed to dig up the past there I feel.
Just to nitpick, someone who is "psychotic" is just someone with psychosis, a mental illness, and they aren't dangerous for that. The common use of the word to mean "sick, twisted and dangerous" isn't really fair to people who are suffering and not dangerous at all. It's like the word "schizo" or similar, using mental illness and "craziness" as a synonym for "dangerous and violent."
This is a good point. I've been careful to scare quote the word when I've used it because I think it's problematic. However I do think the author has a point. There's something uniquely brutal about American culture.
