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)

Not sure how rampant fake news is in other non-English speaking countries, but the Chinese Internet is riddled with sensational stories that are hard for individuals to verify, but easily forwarded to friends and family.
Now with ChatGPT/Deepfake and the like more readily available, the situation will be even worse. To combat this kind of disinformation, an actual "Ministry of Truth" will be required, based on a database of verified information and using logic to verify new stories and claims. Things like Wikipedia or Baidu百科 won't cut it.
WhatsApp exists in India and Brazil solely to propagate sensational fake news and shitty memes.
if this ever happens, liberals are gonna point at it and froth, "see! see! i told you china was le authoritarian redfash 1984 where people can't say shit and the government forces their views down the poor innocent civilian's throats!"
Liberals in Canada have literally just passed a bill that will give the government the power to decide what constitutes disinformation and censor content https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/online-streaming-act-cancon-future-1.6749795
No, no, you see, it's only bad when non-whites do it! 🙄🙄🙄
