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)

I believe he gained a following due to his “clean your room” lectures that seemed to help some people get their lives together. I don’t know all the details but from what I can remember his advice was incredibly basic but I guess the way he presented it made people flock to him. I’m unsure as to why considering he’s incredibly uncharismatic but maybe he just came off as a trustworthy authority figure.
I watched one interview with him back in 2016 and I sorta ate the onion at the time. He offered basic advice as well as pseudo-intellectual talking points, but nothing remotely controversial, fringe, or far-right back then. Then he started doing benzos, got a hair transplant, talking about forced arranged marriages for incels to prevent them from becoming school shooters, decrying cancel culture, and ultimately became a useful sap for the far-right while dressing like a wannabe batman villain.
Can’t believe he left the store purchasing that jacket never mind leaving the house with it on
