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.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information.

Really? I was under the impression the current bunch of internet dwellers are rather uncritically starry-eyed about the Mongols. Especially when the question of Russia comes up. If I had a nickel for every time a redditoid said a variation of "hurr da Mongols had attacked da Russkies in winter and won!", I'd probably be a petit bourgeoisie by now

It seems to me that people think lots of empires that killed millions of people are 'cool'. E.g. Mongols, Napoleonic, Byzantine. They only react negatively to things that occured from 20th century onwards.
