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.

I started reading this comment and thought it was going to be about people making deliberately inflammatory comments (of which I'm the worst offender) that would play into the userbase being evil. But yeah, doxing is an even more real concern.

It's difficult, especially online. IRL, I can be deliberately inflammatory and with a disarming smile and a wink, the conversation stays friendly. That's not so easy online. Where, to make it more complicated, you and the other person are practically anonymous. And we're constantly faced with trolls, so the temptation is to shut them down and have fun doing so. We probably could be better at not being deliberately inflammatory but I'm in no place to judge. It's worth us discussing that, too, though, so that we only do it on appropriate occasions and when we intend to.
