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)

No, it was submitted to ArXiv which doesn't require or perform peer review.
That gives me some hope. But it's kind balanced out by the paper's call for more 'intellectual diversity' because the research uncovering extremism online tends to focus on the right wing and to be conducted by left-leaning academics. It couldn't be because overwhelmingly there is only right wing extremism and they're not going to dox themselves. Couldn't be that.
(We won't mention this guy, Matthew Goodwin, and his ilk, either, eh?)
😯 I'd not heard of this one. I suppose this is what you should expect if you have over your entire intellectual apparatus to the yanks to keep the communists out.
Not dissimilar to the Sokal Affair, which eventually led to the book, [Fashionable Nonsense] (https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashionable_Nonsense). I'm not convinced that Sokal and Bricmont found what they claimed to find but they did reveal some flaws in the academic research process.
