We should encourage good faith liberals to talk with us
(lemmygrad.ml)
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.
See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.
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:
I'd be down with trying out a megathread for respectful discourse (meaning hostility wouldn't be tolerated from anyone), although always having three pinned threads might be a bit excessive
That would be awesome to have something like that because random comment sections can be really chaotic.
I would encourage a thread that is framed as educational, rather than framed as "debate" or "discourse." Along the lines of, "You have a question you've been wanting to ask, ask it and those with more understanding will try to answer and walk you through the reasoning/sources/etc." If it's framed as debate or discourse, my concern would be that liberals would just use it as a platform to debate what shouldn't be platformed in the first place. Hope that makes sense. Seems like kind of a fine line to walk. It's important to get through to people, but also, some people could just view it as an intellectual challenge instead of serious stakes and muddy the waters.
yes, the thread would be intended for learning, and we may have to require citations for political assertions
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]: I've made a new thread (and accompanying community) for this, currently pinned to Local
What's the new community?
/c/[email protected]
should we promote the thread on lemmy.ml?
feel free to do so on relevant posts

I'll be checking regularly if someone posted a question in it.
We could add to one of the megathreads that a [honest question] tag or something could be used for that, without creating a whole new pinned thread.
