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.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Welcome again to everybody. Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.

On Sunday last week, Damascus fell to Salafi terrorists and other imperialist-aligned forces. Regardless of the flaws of the ousted government, this is a horrible situation for the Syrian proletariat as well as for the people of Palestine, Lebanon and others. We can only hope for the perseverance of the Syrian workers and the remaining anti-colonial resistance.

I have a very, very, very strong feeling that the complaints about how Gen Alpha is "ruined by screens, entitlement, permissive parenting" is nothing but nonsense that is not very different at all from how previous generations were complained about. They even complained about "today's youth" in ancient Greece, Egypt, and Sumer!

It's an outdated mindset that I sadly see all around me, even among many progressives.

Remember when when everyone said T.V. would rot kids brains? All the people who grew up watching T.V. are now saying Phones will rot kids brains. Either they have brain rot or they are making shit up just like their parents and grandparents did.

Idk I guess you could make a point about screens. I read the other day about how there is an increase of children with eyesight problems probably caused by sitting too close to a screen from a young age. Also, some of the content for kids is literal brainrot lol.

But I guess that then just boils down to what content they consume and not just screens in general.
