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 White Empire is not just a real physical thing (the empire right now) but as a real historical thing (the empire for centuries). Understanding things this way, you can become insufferable dinner company. You are zoomed out so far that things make sense, but in a world full of mad men, this only makes you seem crazy. We live in a White Empire and have for centuries and don't even have a name for it. I just made that name up. It's the greatest trick the White Devil ever pulled. Convincing the world he didn't exist (the Devil is definitely he/him).

Is this person on indica or something

[–] 6kb_@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

he has really good geopol takes and i don't generally disagree with him except he does like to proselytize a bit and also i remember looking at old articles of his, he spoke of the ussr's dissolution as 'democratization' or the return of it, and also said 'soviet empire' more than a few times. i'm not saying this to say we should '''cancel him'''', i'm not even being really down on the guy, since he does have his head on straight and he's got a good heart, it's just a bit funny. he's very good for news. just wanted to throw my two cents into the big old hat

Interesting, interesting...

So his writings go back to at least the 1980s?

oh, no lol... millennial through and through. he seems to have had an interesting route to discovering his own politics, sort of hippy adjacent mixed with surprisingly incisive and lucid takes on geopolitics, and seems to have become a third worldist in no small part due to being brought up in the usa, but he seems to be pretty young comparatively. for some of his reflexive anti-communism, i think it's just typical anti-soviet sentiment for his generation, especially given his background as usa diaspora )who migrated back to country of origin but he acknowledges he spent a good while in the empire. he has an interesting piece on almost being recruited for like, i forget what it was but pro-usa 'journalism')
