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.

Two more drones got intercepted over Dzerzjinsk. Which is pretty darn far from the Ukrainian border. So they've likely been launched locally.

Lovely

I made a Discord. It's in my profile in case someone wants to reach out. I will have to get used to using it. Considering my situation, I am a hell of a downer and may respond slowly, but I am available if you need a more personal approach.

In all seriousness, a friend made me make it, because no other service worked for sharing pirated stuff to watch together synchronized 1:1, so I may as well let anyone reach out if they want to.

I have some cool pirate sites I can recommend if you want?

My friend gets the stuff and then streams to me. No watch together website allowed for anything but links to youtube or synchronizing watching over websites such as netflix if both people have an account. I use FMHY for links to watch stuff on my own.

The portrayal of Saracens as quasi‐Jewish killers of Christ enables Christians not only to glorify those who defeat them in battle but also to inspire new military campaigns. The Muslim chronicler Izz al‐Din Ibn al‐Athir provides a vivid example of such rhetoric when recounting what happened after Muslim forces retook Jerusalem in 1187.

Ibn al‐Athir, perhaps drawing on firsthand knowledge, reports that the city’s patriarch aroused fellow Franks to avenge this loss by making a picture of Jesus that “portrayed Christ (peace be upon him) along with an Arab, depicted as beating him. They put blood on the portrait of Christ and said to the people, ‘This is Christ with Muhammad, the prophet of the Muslims, beating him. [Muhammad] has wounded and slain him.’”

Ibn al‐Athir inserts the customary Islamic honorific for Jesus, whom Muslims revere as a messenger of God, but provides no further editorial commentary: he trusts that his Muslim audience will recognize the preposterous nature of the allegation that Muhammad killed Christ. Preposterous though it is, this propaganda builds on longstanding Frankish rhetoric associating Muslims with Christ’s persecutors, and it provides powerful religious motivation for Christian warriors to avenge the maltreatment of their God.

Ibn al‐Athir credits this propaganda with raising “more men and money than there would be any way of counting” toward what academic historians call the Third Crusade; “even the women,” he emphasized, “answered the call in great numbers.” If Ibn al‐Athir is reliable, he provides valuable evidence regarding the broad impact of religious rhetoric designed to appeal to a specific subset of Christian society, namely fighting men.^12^

Everything in the West is a psyop. Or maybe not. But in reality you can't ever know for sure.

One of the GenZedong Matrix server members created a new Akkoma instance if anyone wants to join: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/3850925
