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.

Was he working for British intelligence back then?

In most iterations, yes. Alfred is almost always an ex-British intelligence agent.

Why would he go from that to being a butler for some billionaire?

Working for billionaires -> Working for the billionaire (the richest one).

Tbf, I wouldn't be surprised if he was working for the Waynes to keep tabs on them on behalf of the British intelligence. Alfred also knew how to get Batman's gadgets from other markets without getting government attention, which is sus af.

Huh, I guess I never paid much attention to Batman lore. That certainly adds a creepier angle to it, if Alfred is there to keep tabs or even to subtly influence what they're doing with their wealth.
