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)

Have you seen the spelling and grammar on Facebook?
And it's often not a complete inability to read. They might recognise the shapes of words without knowing how to really read it, like when you go on holiday to a foreign country and start to pick up the local words for bus station or toilets because they're written everywhere.
People also tend to be able to hide illiteracy quite well, because they're embarrassed about it. The system failed them as a child, but has also convinced them it's their own fault.
That does make sense I guess. I haven’t really thought very much about it. Thanks for elaborating
