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.

I think I want to switch from learning Portuguese to learning Spanish. I noticed I come across more Spanish and I enjoy speaking in it a lot more than in Portuguese

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago

An easy switch. Spanish & Portuguese mutual intelligibility is not symmetrical. Portuguese speakers have the advantage.

Protest against gentrification in Mexico

Is it mostly about expats, or about richer Mexicans as well?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Prob expats since you see signs written in English.

I took creatine for the past week or so and doubled my dose of it in the last three days.

Why am I so angry right now? Very angry?

It's the only supplement I'm taking, btw.

From what I read, past the loading phase you don't actually want to take more than 5 grams daily. Your body isn't able to absorb more than that effectively, and it just ends up putting stress on your kidneys.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I went above 5 gram, doubling it for seven days straight...

Tomorrow morning the yearly visit to János Kádár's grave will take place in Budapest.

To be able to grasp what he meant to Hungary, consider reading something from him from here:

Or check out what life was like in Hungary during his time with us:

You have me interested. I'll read.

Day #8 of going through the four withdrawals of Guanfacine (lowered the dosage), caffeine pills (now I mostly just drink tea as opposed to the five 200 mg pills I was taking every other day), Lexapro (I'm now taking Zoloft), and vitamins (I was taking more than recommended for over a year, maybe two, and got hypervitaminosis).

I feel... pretty good today!

So femicide is a real problem here. Every other week a woman gets murdered in Belgium, in most cases by a partner or someone close to them. Most of the time for patriarchal reasons.

What's funny to me is that right wingers shout a lot about revenge killing in Muslim communities but remains silent about the dozens of women killed every year by Belgian men.

I never thought an european country had that problem. TIL

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Well I feel like it gets swept under the rug because of Western supremacy views. Just 'incidents' rather than a structural societal problem.

As I was making the comment above a dude set his wife on fire while being on parole because prisons are too full here

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

The rich or more wealthy get parole while the dirt-poor don't and are left out sight and out of mind.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

More prisons beget more crime, tbh.

Another day, another lazy horseshoe theorist meme raking in thousands of updoots.

This is a perfect example of why I rarely pay attention to these topics anymore. Both the OP’s point and the comments therebelow follow the same script, and it is rare for anybody to show up citing scientific journals, interesting-sounding history books, or even amateur investigators like Moss Robeson.

I can understand other communists being angry at threads like that, but after you’ve seen them so many times you become desensitized and too exhausted to be angry. They’re all so boring.

Especially reddit, get off there. Absolutely reactionary pedo infested place. And everyone else are libs (don't know which is worse)

Never been the biggest vegan activist there is (despite being vegan now) but I got myself some vegan print t shirt. One of them says SOYBOY lmao. Can't wait to wear them in public.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Where from?

I think I'm going to start using Peertube and even put original content on there for the sake of archival.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Try the Tankietube instance, it's administrated by tankietanuki and there's a lot of us on it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Oho, I shall.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I have wanted to put original content on PeerTube as well, but it's hard with my computer situation and being busy all the time. I hope to see more comrades posting content on alternative platforms, especially exclusively. I'm worried about loss of educational digital media on private platforms like YouTube and Reddit as enshittification continues. I'm also worried about archive.org. I depend on it greatly. I hope we archive and preserve media as much as possible on other platforms before we inevitably lose them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Fuck, I'm so worried about archive.org, you have no idea...
