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.

You know what really feels like freedom?

When you're looking to buy an inexpensive test phone for coding, and you see recommendations for Chinese brands, so you go to their websites and such... and a hour later and a rabbit hole later you discover your shithole country has banned certain brands for no actual articulable reason. Just some vague "Chinese spyware!" To which my question is always, even if that's true, which I doubt, isn't the bootloader unlocked? I'll just install some other rom. "NOPE, CHINA SPY WARE BALLOONS DONT YOU GET IT?!?"

Land of the free, home of the brave my asshole. Can't even buy the phone you want without Uncle Sam having a say.

It should be worrying to all these FREEDOM LOVING PATRIOTS ™️ that the US is becoming less "free" (as far as private commodity purchases go) but, it turns out, it was never about freedom or not, it was just about racism and nationalism. 🎵 whomp whomp 🎵
