So The West just collectively acts like it never happened huh?

(The old Matrix homeserver at genzedong.org no longer exists; genzedong.xyz is the new one)

What is Matrix?

Preemptive TL;DR: Matrix ≈ Discord - tracking + end-to-end encryption (by default)

Matrix is a protocol for real-time communication (text, audio, and video) implemented by various applications ("clients") -- the official one is Element for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS), but there are many others, e.g. those listed here. It's also federated, like Lemmy. To use a Matrix client, you need to make a Matrix account at one of the Matrix homeservers (similar to how you can make an account on lemmygrad.ml or lemmy.ml but still access both of them). We have our own Matrix homeserver at genzedong.xyz, and you don't need an email address to register an account there.

How do I use it?

1. Download a Matrix client (e.g. Element) on whatever device you prefer.
2. Create an account in the client. You can select genzedong.xyz as your homeserver here; if you choose the default matrix.org, you'll need to enter an email address.
3. Log in. Search for the room #welcome:genzedong.xyz and follow the instructions there. (Alternatively, for Lemmygrad users, make a comment here containing your Matrix account name and you'll receive an invite)

Warning: Long Post Ahead.

Only, it happened in the Western World/Global North; and the Zombie Apocalypse wasn't anything portrayed in the media.

Why do I say this? Well:

• Most Global Northerners STILL make Soviet/Communist references whenever Russia is brought up; despite the fact that the USSR was forcibly put out of existence against the will of the people. In addition, Modern Russia is NOTHING like the good 'ol Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
• Seriously, try looking up videos (or any media for the matter) about Russia in YouTube and tell me if you could find ONE MAJOR VIDEO ABOUT RUSSIA without Soviet/Communist references. Even on Odysee (I only go there for RT, fuck that reactionary hellhole) of all sites, there was a HammSick and USSR written on the thumbnail of the remix of the Russian Anthem.

• Despite the Government of China's preference to be called "CPC/Communist Party of China", most people, even the so-called "A"politicals say CCP instead. And these type of people then go on and scorn anyone that call the Government of China by its preferred name (CPC).

• People still go on regurgitating the same old crap about the Tiannmen Square Massacre and the Tank Man picture despite the release of the full footage surrounding Tank Man in question.

• Because of a well-spreaded lie about Chairman Xi banning Winnie the Pooh in China over memes comparing him to Winnie. And thus started an endless supply of Chairman Xi being molded with the Pooh Bear. It honestly just feels like a racist caricature at this point. A modern day minstrelism, if you ask me.

• There was a time when most people on the internet denounced HISSrael. Now? People have to ask when or if it's okay to criticize or be against HISSrael, because "If you're Anti-Zionist/criticize or denounce the Apartheidist State of HISSrael in any way shape or form, you're an Anti-Semite!". And people just buys this shit, no questions asked.

• People just believe - without question - bile spreaded around as "factual news" about China and the DPRK. And now Russia as well.
• Exhibit A: Western Media spreaded outrageous lies about the SMO, claiming Russian Military SA'd Ukrainian Women and that Russia was making a special form of Viagra just so the Russian Army could keep SA-ing Ukrainian Women. I don't like Russia for its constant, unnecessary dunkings on LGBT+ people; but even then I think this type of smearing was uncalled for.
• Even where I live, people outright believe Western-baked lies about the DPRK and the so-called Uyghur "Genocide"; and then turn around, hue, scream and cry about "WESTERN CULTURE IS INVADING THIS COUNTRY!!!" whenever as much as the concept of LGBT+ is even slightly mentioned, or whenever Women ask for more rights or wear and do as they so please. (Even my peers bashed people calling for women to be able to wear as they please without being harassed, what the fuck!?!!)

• Before 2022, barely anyone heard about Ukraine and those that did bashed it for being a corrupt, pedophilic hellhole. Now? All of a sudden everyone and their mother are showering Ukraine, especially Elenskyy with so, SO MUCH undeserved love; acting as if he's Jesus 2. In reality, Elenskyy's the world's most spoiled child I've ever seen in my whole life, my god. He's already eating up everything the US offers (which is enough to solve its own Domestic Issues BTW!) and yet it's still "not enough" for him.

So, yeah. These are why I've been thinking for a while now if a Zombie Apocalypse has happened right under our noses; because OH MY GOD HOW CAN PEOPLE BE THIS OUTRAGEOUSLY STUPID?! I honestly feel tempted to call the average Liberal a Zombie these days.

EDIT: And if you're wondering, "well if they're zombies, then what do they eat? surely not brains as they're still humans like us, right?" Answer: Anything the Mainstream Media or the Demonocrats (Government Body of the USA - including the CIA and Feds, not just the Democrats) says. No. Questions. Asked. Just like your typical zombies who will eat any brain they find, without wondering if it's a "good-quality brain".

I'm posting this in c/GenZedong instead of - I guess, c/MentalHealth or c/Comradeship because, although I'm kind of pissed from being surrounded by reactionaries and hearing liberal lies all the time, the post involves less personal problems and more political issues.

^Also,^ ^was^ ^there^ ^ever^ ^a^ ^venting^ ^community^ ^in^ ^Lemmygrad?^ ^Or^ ^was^ ^it^ ^just^ ^c/MentalHealth^ ^all^ ^this^ ^time?^

(KPL) Party Secretary General and State President Thongloun Sisoulith on Dec 30 delivered a speech extending wishes to all Lao people on the occasion of international New Year 2023.

My countrymen, year 2022 witnessed us facing a number of difficulties and challenges, including the impacts of Covid-19 pandemic and severe economic and financial difficulties. However, with the unity of the entire Party, state and the entire Lao people as well as the support and assistance from friendly countries, we have made to addressed the problems basically, saving the country from falling into a severe crisis, allowing the country to enjoy strong political stability, society to enjoy peace, economy to enjoy a gradual and constant recovery. These have laid fundamental basis for our country’s economy to grow over years to come.

As for the year 2023, we will continue to overcome such challenges and obstacles. Therefore, I call on all the Lao people, both in the country and abroad to focus all mental and physical efforts and courage on achieving our cause of national protection and development as planned, leading our country to a new step of development, with people enjoying peacefulness, society enjoying unstoppable peace and civilization.

On the occasion of welcoming New Year 2023, on behalf of the Party and government leaders and on my own behalf, I would like to extend best wishes to all Lao people both in the country and abroad a good health, happiness and continue to carry out your tasks with new and greater success thus elevating our country to new heights of development.

May the celebration of International New Year 2023 be full of joy and peace and safety, “Happy New Year 2023”.

Lib channel that Hakim ripped into not so long ago, now they're starting to doubt themselves, lol.

I'm thinking of paying the Lemmygrad Matrix a visit, should I sign up using the genzedong.org Matrix Server? Or should I just sign up on the general Matrix server? (matrix.org), seeing as the Matrix Chatroom on the frontpage links to internationale:matrix.org

Also, how active are either matrices? Does genzedong.org have any chatrooms?

Last example is when the movie ''Anna'' from 2019 was on TV today and it's about you guessed it ''KGB'' woman living in poverty in 1990 in USSR while her family or husband is abusing her, I don't know exactly, I didn't watch it, just read the script and of course she is dreaming to escape and goes to CIA to become double agent or whatnot.

So fucking tired of Yankee movies having anything to do with Russia, it's always: ''those dumb drunk Slavs abusing women who must be in kitchen constantly, while they smoke and get in fights with neighbors all day while the ''good'' main characters in movies go to worship CIA and lick USA and westoid ass to escape from ''hell'' that is their country, the ''good ones'' are always those who bootlick the west after they escape and go against their country. Then the poverty they show in Eastern European countries in movies, why don't they talk about why did poverty happen in the first place, why it's still happening and bring up the reasons for it?

Then there are movies like ''Atomic Blonde'' from 2017 where DDR is depicted as hellhole and East Germans as basically dumb NPCs, ''Red Sparrow'' from 2018(basically the most disgusting one and same thing as Anna), All the Devil's Men from 2018 etc etc, there are too many of them. It's like they didn't move on from the shit show that was Rambo 2-4, some character screaming I believe in perestroika in Tango & Cash like it's something to be proud of and similar ones. I swear to fucking god I hate every movie with main Russian character except John Wick.

Rant over.

The history of how the USSR got rid of kulaks as told from their own point of view

AFAIK, we you join pretty much any communist party they give you materials for basic comprehention and provide you with some materials. It generally is some extract of a text and some party written stuff, maybe we could do something like that. Or a very brief and short text, and a "bigger" one for a bit more in depth understanding (complete Communist Manifesto and a few more articles/short book)?
