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.

We have a Matrix homeserver at genzedong.xyz. See this thread for information about our Matrix space.

There was a time when I would run away from the stupidity of real life to the virtual - internet, video games, books, even comics. Nowadays, I am more and more often pressed to run away from the stupidity of the virtual and into the embrace of the real. Except real life has only gotten more stupid and disappointing with years. There's nowhere left run

Same sometimes. Though I managed to find an escape in working at the Union and weightlifting.

We can only try to move on comrade. And at least you are a very welcome person over here.

In a better world there would always be the embrace of comrades within walking/biking distance, or even in the communal house with mini flats and large shared areas.

When your options are fight or flight and half that is off thr table you only have one path to take. Crying alone in a fast food resteraunt while everyone pretends to not notice

Me with Games as a Service. The number of spaces you can hide in without someone using cheap psychology to try to coerce you in to buying something is approaching zero.
