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)

It was always just theatre. Nothing has changed. They're just doing a PR stunt now pretending like Trump was so tough on Zelensky it pushed him to agree to a ceasefire proposal. It's an exercise in narrative control because Russia has already said it would not accept a ceasefire (which would only benefit Ukraine at this point since it is losing ground all along the line and needs time to regroup, dig in and rearm) unless its demands are met.
Pay attention to what's happening on the battlefield, not in the media circus.
Would you mind recommending some source of information on what's happening on the battlefield in a spare moment?
The news megathread on Hexbear always has a section in the header titled Russia-Ukraine conflict where they list out a number of sources. It's somewhat out of date and some of those sources are now either defunct or lower quality than they used to be, but it's still a good place to start.
Else you can also use Yandex search and look for Russian language (just run them through a translator) news sources which tend to be the most up to date.
cfgaussian, would I recognize you on the news megathread?
No, i'm not on Hexbear, although i follow it occasionally. I'm only on Lemmygrad and unfortunately right now Hexbear isn't federated with us anymore.

That channel has daily updates and is relatively neutral.
I gave up on DPA after he went on a transphobic rant one time.
He did? Fuck, that's disappointing.
Yeah it was back when there was that whole budlite thing.

This is a similar channel. Neutral-ish with a slight pro-Russia inclination. Reliable when it comes the facts of what is currently happening, but very mediocre track record on predictions and deeper analysis. Both of these channels are good for following the up to date maps and footage, but you should draw your own conclusions or rely on more intelligent analysts when it comes to the big picture.
