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)

Is it just me, or are the anticommunists more vocal than usual lately?
They're out in force this week, spam creating accounts on all the "open" lemmy servers with pro-israel comments.
IDF absolutely has a well developed bot and "influencer" network they deploy during times like this when they want to massacre a bunch of Palestinians again, plus all the well established relationships between American government and large news organizations with Zionist NGOs like AIPAC and ADL.
Israel has become quiet adept over the decades at getting western rubes to buy all their bullshit.
Although Iโve joked that Benjamin Netanyahu must be directly managing all of these accounts, I feel like a bot network would be unnecessary because there are likely enough dullards on the Internet to unwittingly do the neocolonistsโ PR work for them.
That said, I canโt dismiss the bot network idea out of hand. Can you show me evidence for it?
I'm not up to date on IDF operations but for a government agency building a botnet would be so cheap and simple (like cheaper than printing posters cheap) I can't imagine that they wouldn't do it. I found this without much looking. Granted this guy is a private contractor but former IDF. Israel famously has well funded and developed cyberwarfare and propaganda/"PR" capabilities too, so I bet social media manipulation would be wrapped in one of those arms.
Not just you
