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.
See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.
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.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

like, of course not saying an emotional response is wrong, but like, as long as you Do Something that’s fine. it’s totally fine. and we’re removing this as is from the real world context and reality that like, half the shit we do is not as evil as what the system does, as Commiejones said!!!
i mean, like i might know that i pushed someone’s buttons talking about xyz, i might know i was a dick to my brother. but what if the guilt only pushes me to feel i’m a corrupted, sinful being with no hope for redemption, so i don’t try? in the end, guilt helps many people Feel and Understand a moral burden, and CAN motivate them to act on it. but alone, it’s essentially worthless, apart from being able to convey sincere desire to change in a way that might resonate with people more deeply.
sorry, i will go back and shorten/simplify both of these long comments for any redundancies TT
i reread the comment and i feel like my two points generally miss the primary issue you’re talking about, so maybe i shouldn’t have said “I understand you!!” first sentence, how silly and embarrassing. but again, it’s a really soothing and, pardon the silliness, healing habit to just rationally take apart What Harm You Even Did from XYZ. if you don’t see anything legitimate, let it go and go about your day. the only example i would legitimately say you should try to mend would be that personal situation with a friend, which you said you DID feel emotional guilt over! but why stress over trying to compel your brain to release Sadness over cheating on a test? who did you hurt? i mean, if it was a test that was like, i’m qualified to give you open heart surgery, and then you were made to do open heart surgery and you killed some guy cuz you actually didn’t, then yeah that would be pretty bad, but you didn’t do all that!
