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)

You forget to take into account background level racism in
Technically, yeah, but all official US census stuff writes the whole label as "Latino or Hispanic" and use both interchangeably. It's not uncommon to hear people referring to Brazilians or even Haitians as "Hispanic," because to the common Yankee, being Latin American and Hispanic are the same thing.
It even generates some fun arguments on Quora such as "are Spanish people white?"
That'd be the correct way thinking in 1990 before they added "latino" as a synonym [PDF, page 3], but then they just randomly added that in without changing the question. Since Yankee ethnography is so crap and they usually don't even define their shit properly, as most social Yankee stuff (unrelated but they don't have a list of proscribed domestic terrorist groups, only foreign ones). It makes sense that they'd be terrible at this when the "Hispanic Question" is literally the only ethnicity question in the census, and you have shit like "race white, for example, German, Italian."
Yet; let the steady collapse of hegemony slide further and bet you'll start seeing more direct-action oriented enclaves getting flagged for terrorism. They did just clink up the Uhuru House for 'undeclared foreign agency'; and that's an adjacent bullshit charge.
