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.

Christmas shopping when you're almost broke is not fun

First world problems but I have it reversed for the first time now where my family is doing pretty well. Now my brother's partner came in with a big ass bag of presents. Must have been 15 or something. I immediately felt pressured to buy a lot of shit but I had no idea what. Figured I might as well just give one more expensive but sustainable gift for everyone. Doesn't help that the people I celebrate with probably already have everything they need. It's just wants at this point and tbh their wants are kinda trash lol.

Why can't we just, idk, buy something simple instead of increasingly trying to impress others.
