And we're the ones who want to exist in self-affirming spaces? Liberals can't see the hypocrisy of decrying the far-right yet acting exactly like them.

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.
See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.
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)

MODERATORS
it's always projections
They left reddit because of reddit bullshit and the first thing they want to do in this new space is create the exact same conditions that made reddit crap.
This is colonialism all over again.
They aren't even shy about it (post about "tankies"):
and how's rexxit going for them lol
Most of them will probably get back.
Liberals have no convictions. 90% of them only came here to effetely virtue-signal at Spez, and they'll have their tongues back between his toes by this time in July
Uuuuuuugh, “I don’t like this source” is easily one of my least favorite responses; the respondent may as well not even post since they’re ignoring the content anyway. Yes, the Wall Street Journal is puke, but nobody lies 100% of the time. That’s why you need to learn how to read critically.
There has to be some sort of course that people can take to teach them how to properly scrutinize sources and distinguish between good reporting and rumourmongering, rather than trying to take shortcuts like that.
And what’s up with all of the repetitive definitions and attempts to accuse you of being logically fallacious? It doesn’t make the replier look clever; it’s just extremely embarrassing.

The point we post explicitly liberal sources is to make liberals think even for just a second. Turns out, it's still not enough.

It's an old trolling technique, but this guy apparently didn't even understand how it's done.
I had a philosophy professor years ago who said that people who make catalogues of logical fallacies don't really understand logic. The true logician simply examines the argument, notes that it doesn't follow, and tells you why without using any jargon.
Being on the internet has convinced me this guy was completely correct.
It's not only an internet, reading philosphy in general i noticed it's awfully filled with jargon. And it tend to use it in worst possible manner.
Philosophy has a tendency to need to use very specialized language to avoid problems of ambiguity and to precisely identify concepts that have no reason to come up in the vast, vast majority of conversation among laypeople.
I mean, yes and no. You go to Aristotle, for instance, and while his work is definitely not easy to understand -- it being lecture notes and all -- it's surprising how little jargon he uses, with most of it being just common words used in a restricted sense, e.g., "matter" or "relation."
Always gotta love the faux-confidence the libs have of knowing they are always right, because they can dismiss anyone who doesn't agree with them as biased/a shill/propagandist.
Heaven forbid somebody engage in an intellectually honest debate with somebody with a differing opinion. Even if somebody IS spouting propaganda, you don't become tainted by having a discussion with them; you might even convince a third party who is viewing.
Listen pal, Ukraine is Dumbledore's Rebellion Army and Russia is goddamn Dark Vader and the Nazis (bad) all rolled into one. Now are you gonna wise up and support the Nazis (good) against the bigoted slavic hordes, or am I gonna have to write more vague masturbatory screeds in the cadence of a West Wing monologue I half-watched once?
That's what I thought.
I swear to god, when this shit is finished I'm going to bottle liberals tears and drink it with vodka. I fucking can't wait enough for the West to fall, I hate so much having to interact with these people.
Their whole world view if fractally wrong, and it's going to be incredible to see how they react when they're finally forced to start reconciling it with reality.
