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)

His act was always just edginess. His popularity comes from giving permission to whites in the US to laugh and joke about its racist history, and say racist slurs (for the lolz). Now he's doing the same thing, but with trans ppl (and anyone he considers "woke"), giving ppl permission to joke about their oppression.
He even tells a story (where he almost came to the conclusion that his comedy is a horrible mistake), where some white guy followed him down the street yelling the N word at him and laughing maniacally.
you are absolutely correct. Whatever an author's intent is doesn't matter, it's the impact and in terms of impact, it is what you said. It gave people license to be racist.
Also his argument about trans people being accepted quicker than black people is absurd. Should all oppression take a similar length of time to overcome? What a weird thing to gripe about.
