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.

There's actually illiterate people in America? Wow, I need to expand my social circle or something

Functional illiteracy, they can read the words but not necessarily understand the full meaning of the paragraph. I do know one lady who is totally illiterate and has her grandkids read her mail to her, but she's ~90 and at least knows arithmetic.
