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.

- No ableism, racism, misogyny, transphobia, etc.
- No pro-imperialists, liberals or electoralists

I think the whole fireworks thing is a bigger reason most Americans celebrate it than anything else.
These fuckers will take out a god damn second mortgage in order to buy fireworks. I seriously don't know how else some of these ppl pay for them. You will see ppl barely scraping by yet somehow spend hours shooting off fireworks.
My family spent $700 this year and told me “This is the least we have ever spent on them”. It is ridiculous. I like loud explosions as much as the next guy but I do agree it’s absolutely insane. Fireworks are legitimately an addiction of the entire population.
Jesus Christ, that is enough money to pay all my bills, and food for a whole month for me and my partner.
I know. People here spend absurd funds on fireworks and “showing up the Johnsons” in general. Living in absolute decadence.
