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.

you can sort of trust when they're directly quoting a source. just the text of the source tho, not their interpretation or dramatization. occasionally they've been known to consult specialists but just look up 'kings and generals' on r/badhistory for a virtually endless supply of dunks. it's really bad.

/r/badhistory is literally the worst subreddit. They don't think it's fair to say Kissinger killed people. Their source for Kissinger's innocence is literally "The Trial of Henry Kissinger"

it's not a very stringent subreddit but i don't see how kissinger apologia corrupts people nickpicking the ancient/medieval content of youtuber entertainers masquerading as documentarians.

When you're citing a book about how Kissinger is a mass murdering war criminal as proof that he is neither you've both gone all in on US exceptionally fascism and abandoned all credibility.

we're not talking about a person we're talking about posts on the same subreddit from different people. by all means if the same poster did both i'd be less disposed to listen, but simply sharing forum-space with idiotic shit doesn't make everything there idiotic. i mean have you seen this website we're on?
