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)

more for you
They use the same bullshit time and time again because:
1: they're lazy and uncreative (fascists always are) and
2: It works on a depressingly large number of people.
here's something for you:
It's pretty obvious to the non-libs I would say, but I think it's not being said enough generally how these are interrelated issues. I think there's a tendency amongst the libs to feel uneasy about drawing out this relationship out of deference to Palestinians and Black Americans (if they are neither of these). It's an unfounded concern IMO, but I think it's related to the competition for attention it would imply. It's really an ideal topic for creating solidarity between these groups in many ways, but americans are so alienated from each other that the impulse that it is a distraction from the other cause might not result in the solidarity in practice as expected.
That's just my sense of the situation at the moment. There's a lot of folks that get it, they just are not libs. Maybe PSL needs to make this part of their election messaging.
It makes me wonder how easy it would be to villainize black Americans and justify mass killing us if it came down to it.
What an awful title... I don't mean to say "if you disagree with me, you're missing the obvious." But I am wondering if this is something very basic that everyone understands.
Also for context, "we will capture more until the jails are emptied" is lifted from an official statement by Hamas on the Oct 7 "terror attacks."
clicked around a bit and found this link:
:officer-down:
You're totally correct in this, which is why we've always held solidarity for Palestinians
here's another useful analysis comparison that can be made, the disproportional deaths are also highly correlated
https://israelpalestinetimeline.org/charts/
https://shadowproof.com/2014/09/29/police-killed-v-killed-by-police-a-statistical-perspective/
based on just two random samplings I could find above
the ratios by deaths from the other
Palestine : Israel = 8.3277928102
US persons : US cops = 10.35443038
these are very rough numbers with different time frames, etc, but they are in a similar range and direction
I wish it was obvious for more people.
