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.
If you haven't already found it, this GitHub page is an excellent collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics, made by @dessalines and others.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a private Matrix room. See this thread for more information.
Rules:

- No being an electoralist or a lib (of course)
- Moderator discretion
- This community is explicitly pro-AES
- No dogmatism/idealism (Trotskyism, Gonzaloism, Hoxhaism, anarchism, etc.)
- Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively

This is getting live threads, constant radio attention, experts commenting everywhere, millions of dollars in search equipment etc.
Just days after hundreds of migrants died on the Greek coast after the Coast Guard refused to help them or even look for them afterwards. And now they are forgotten.
To clarify: it's not that I necessarily want these submarine people to die. Searching for them is okay, even.
It's just that the contrast of attention given to this compared to the Greek disaster is insane.
They are billionaires, their deaths would likely be a net good
However, it is particularly gruesome in this case and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone
Yeah, there's this general trend where "Western" media and their offshore subsidiaries only care about people if they're famous, white or both. This was my main criticism of the coverage of the war in Ukraine when it started because from the start it was very disproportionate compared to other conflicts in peripheral nations. I guess it's hard for newscorps and liberals to talk about those in-depth because they'd need to acknowledge "that poor and non-white people are humans deserving of dignity", which is a controversial statement among their peers. Not to mention their favourite parties and corporations having a stake in killing and displacing those poor/non-white people.
