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)

Feeling pretty mean and gross, I fucking hate arguing with people who love me.
Last two times I have spoken to my well-meaning family about Palestine it has ended with us storming away from each other. We'll agree about 99 percent of the matter but whenever it comes down to "is hamas popular among Palestinians" things get fucking ugly and it's freaking me out, they are otherwise perfectly rational people but they need me to agree that Hamas is actually taking advantage of Palestinians as a whole. (For clarity's sake my position is that no I am not a fan of baby killing or whatever but I'm not letting things get framed as though this is a separate war between the IDF and hamas with the palestinians being caught in between.)
The thing is I know I'm in the right but unlike some of you brave posters I've got no experience with how to endure these huge arguments with family without feeling sick and depressed afterwards
hey, at least you agree up to that point, that's a lot better than some of us ๐
Exactly, I know it could be worse. I am legitimately impressed at the mental fortitude of those of you with honest to God chud family members.
I've given up on convincing them so I just try to avoid talking about it ๐
