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.

It bothers me how normal it is for people to advocate stuff like "fake it til you make it" on confidence. Rephrased, they're basically saying "lie about who you are until you start believing your own lies."

Like what about vulnerability and being vulnerable. Why not instead of "fake it til you make it", something more like "be real about who you are until you're okay with letting other people see you." Are people just so terrified of being real with each other, is the culture punishing that kind of honesty, I wonder.

Its capitalist superstructure. Social capital accumulation (prestige) by providing the desired discourse.
