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)

That's Chinese disinformation! And Lao disinformation! And Kazakh and Cuban and Vietnamese and... listen, Americans need to be fed a strict media diet or else they'll start having thoughts.
That many people owning houses in [insert superior Western country] could never work
The US is too diverse for universal home ownership
My dogs are going absolutely wild
I only just noticed that it has a red line separating the colours
A Thin Blue line would be more accurate

Fuck. You're right.
I studied this recently, the UK appears to have a 60% ownership rate, untill you examine how they report it.
33% of people outright own a house in the UK, the other % are paying one off. No sane person would say they owned a house if they had only made 2 700 pound payments on a 250k property, but the UK does for stats.
The other countries report it the same. I live in Slovakia and there is absolutely no way that over 90% of people own their home here without counting the people who haven't paid off their house yet.
Could our brains survive that kind of strenuous exercise?
Seriously, we must be the only people who can burn calories just reading a book.
