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.

and a hour later and a rabbit hole later you discover your shithole country has banned certain brands for no actual articulable reason. Just some vague “Chinese spyware!” To which my question is always, even if that’s true, which I doubt, isn’t the bootloader unlocked? I’ll just install some other rom. “NOPE, CHINA SPY WARE BALLOONS DONT YOU GET IT?!?”

I used to hate this this super annoying non sequitur too; but it's meant that I've been employable at a time when most wouldn't give me the time it day so I'm okay w it now. Lol

the knee jerk policies from multiple government entities about how china is gaining technological & economic leverage forced multiple chinese companies either respond or lose access to the american market and this came at a time when communications for employment offers from recruiters and companies have slowed to less than a trickle.

i suspect that the reduction to a trickle is a result of a blacklisting from a very well connected silicon valley firm since i'm in a super lucrative field w very high unemployment rates; but still get very little attention and i'm usually MUCH more successful w non-western firms, especially lately.
