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.

Why do they consider racism, orientalism and lies disputed long ago "valid criticism". Not even mentioning the lack of humility or a will to learn, just constant snarkiness, smugness and an unrelenting feeling of superiority. Just please, engage with us on equal terms and don't be dismissive.

Edit: Don't go into the comments if you value your day...

Literally saw someone in that Beehaw thread talking about "we're a safe space for minorities" and shit complaining that they'd posted up a picture of Winnie the Pooh somewhere and got banned for it. They're literally just western-chauvinist redditors looking for somewhere to piss all over and call theirs.

A lot of the xinnie the pooh edits are racial caricature, ironically enough (skin tone)

To my knowledge, they're ALL racist charicatures

That's hard to say, since the meme began in China, but the widespread adoption in the US probably was connected to racist appeal

TIL the meme began in China

Unfortunately yeah, undoubtly by some liberal or even likely westerner living there since except yellow Xi it also included Obama as "Tigger" (how subtle):

Yo as per our survey, more than 60% of our users don't identify as white, cis het males. Additionally we have users from literally over the world. Waiting to see Beehaw's survey.

Honestly that's fantastic. Data don't lie...

Waiting to see Beehaw’s survey.

Some early data

Its a fucking nightmare over there. Left reddit because of this shit sad to see the other instances turning into reddit.

I think it's very telling that once they run out of talking points, they resort to throwing a tantrum, swearing at you and demanding to be banned like it's a victory.

I just joined here a couple days before the Reddit thing happened. They're bringing all of what I didn't miss from quitting Reddit years ago. At least on the bright side I can mostly stay out of all that here.

Yup, seen that thread. I reported some users calling Russians "orcs" and i was actually chastised in PM by mod who apparently think it is normal exchange of political opinions.

EDIT: And while the dehumanisation, bigotry, racism, orientalism etc. etc. comments still stands, this happens:

The problem is mostly 196.

Also some instances like lemmy.world seem to just approve anybody who's making a request to join. So all the idiots go there and then spread to other instances.

BuGiJu was doing a great job of contributing constructively from what I remember. Absolute bullshit on the mods' part. StalinsMoustache was correct but a bit low-effort and antagonistic, so it was to be expected (though I obviously don't support it).

At least it was only two days for the former, but still bullshit

They are also doubling down:

Afaik that particular mod begged himself into modding today and immediately start banning ML's, exactly what ultras always do on reddit.
