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.

Hawaii was colonized by the US' settler colonialism, which undermined the country's ability to develop freely without being constrained by the US.
The natives have always known how to properly care for the land and live in harmony with nature. It is the US that is the ultimate reason Hawaii is so vulnerable to disasters today.

Hell, the US even poisoned Hawaii's supply of groundwater with millions of gallons of fuel leaks.

It's not a question of how the US federal government is/was supposed to respond. Hawaii should've (as in the US shouldn't have captured their territory) maintained its sovereignty as an independent country, full stop.
