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.

Turns out Putin was a liberal all along.

He literally said that he is a liberal. https://www.rbc.ru/politics/19/01/2014/570416189a794761c0ce5bf4

It is in Russian because the West obviously didn't want to report this.

Putin's report card: Solid A- in "Fighting Imperialism (Advanced Placement Course)" but a D in "Avoiding Lib Cringe 101"

Harry Potter has always been shit. If a good magic system is the Mona Lisa then Harry Potter is finger painting on the wall with diarea. The entire franchise is carried on the back of Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson being hot.

Nah, imo people are overcorrecting their views on the books, because the author turned out to be a piece of shit.

They aren't shit, but reading them as an adult is just kinda disappointing because the world building is just so terribly superficial in many regards. Last time I listened to the audiobooks some years ago I could still easily enjoy them and I could still see all the parts I loved as a child and what made the universe lovable to me and many others then. It's not even that she doesn't bring up deeper issues thematically or within the world building, she just never really expands on them as much as she could and should. No idea if it's because of her personal politics, but she always stops exploring things right when they're getting really interesting.

Idk, maybe it's mostly nostalgia, because I don't engage with Rowling in any way at all and I know I'm in the minority on this, but I'm not on the hate train yet lol
