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.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES anarchism, Gonzaloism, etc.)
- 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
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

The YouTube shorts feature is so unhealthy. I once wasted 4 hours scrolling(*). It's so useless, most of the channels you are subbed to don't upload those anyway so you are fed whatever YouTube wants.
(*) (I obviously uninstalled the app after that. I hate smartphones, I hate smartphones, I hate smarphones)
I hate smartphones! I hate being reachable at all hours! I hate always being connected!
I just want to be left alone! I want to return to dedicated devices: computers for communicating and the like, and music players for music!
Vinyl discs and tapes need to come back
I wanna collect CDs so bad but I can't afford them. I love piracy. I wish I had access to a library that loans CDs just to use physical media again, but life's not fair.
Gotta admit physical media are an environmental catastrophe though, aren't they? I mean, between mas producing tons of CD and just having people share files on there devices' memory, seems to me like the latter makes much more sens environmentally.
Or are they very easy to recycle? Idk to be honest.
Also I kinda like the model RMS proposed to make music free for instance, with artists being remunerated according to their popularity on peer2peer download platforms for instance, the more popularity, the more gov grants basically.
Anything that is mass produced and ends up in landfill is an environmental catastrophe. I just miss owning stuff. If I could afford them and chose not to buy them, I probably would feel different. Super low priority though.
E-waste is a huge threat to us nowadays. But I believe smart electronic devices are a bigger problem than CDs.
