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.

The first time I heard of cricket was as a child when reading Douglas Adam's H2G2. It seemed so ridiculous I immediately assumed it was a fictive sport invented by the author. How wrong I was.

Also it's not just India, it's in a lot of places they managed to get their grubby colonialist mitts on

We dodged that one in Ireland and hold in contempt anyone who plays it. Somehow rugby made the cut.

But our Indian sub continent got the most addiction. Our corrupt cricket board get billions of USD from government , scams, advertisers. Most people are just glued to this sport for hundreds of hrs for no reason whatsoever. I will make a rule, any person watching even 1 minute of this match will get 100 lashes from the state. I know it's Saudi Arabia style but that's how you can remove the addiction.
