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.
Serious posts can be posted here and/or in /c/GenZhou.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information.
Rules:
- This community is explicitly pro-AES (China, Cuba, the DPRK, Laos and Vietnam)
- No ableism, racism, misogyny, transphobia, etc.
- No pro-imperialists, liberals or electoralists
- No dogmatism/idealism (Trotskyism, Gonzaloism, Hoxhaism, anarchism, etc.)
- Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively

In looking into this again I found a supposedly serious legal breakdown that literally says that in the intro paragraph.

The case for blocking Russian media is made on the basis that it is "propaganda for war," yet one cannot seriously argue that what western media is doing isn't propaganda for war.
Well you see, they are the Good Guys, so they can't do propaganda. That is only for authoritarian dictatorships, not enlightened democracies like civilized European countries. Otherwise, their totally free media would call them out on it.
Jesus…And yet people will still purport that Europe and the way is full of free speech.
So...their argument is literally just "it's ok when we do it?" not even trying anymore. Though I guess they don't have to.
