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.

No, I am saying that there plenty of sources of news and we are not getting the news from a single sources even if ones focus on this, others don't. In the past there wasn't much else to check, so big news would take most of a paper or slot of time on the tv news.

But now with internet the pages or slot times are not limited, and there is plenty of other sources or sources from other countries that in the past were not available, so other important stuff isn't hidden because this.

I think you are giving both the average American and the American media landscape too much credit.

News sources may be more dispersed nowadays but the bourgeoisie still overwhelmingly controls distribution.

Much of the rest of the world, for example, disagrees with the NATO narrative about Ukraine. Yet you will be hard pressed (no pun intended) to find a westerner who thinks the situation is more nuanced than 'Russia land grab'. Why aren't Anglo-Europeans exposed to those counter narratives?
