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)

I think it might be time to take a break from the site lol
I've been doing kinda badly mentally lately with life shit and THAT thread (not to vaguepost but i think we all know the one) genuinely had made me feel the need to take a step back and focus on my fitness and reading routines and stop doomscrolling.
Didn't think it was possible to see genuine dogpiling and bullying on this instance but here we are.
A lot of people are negatively affected by how AI is typically used by corporations (at least in the West), so it's inevitably going to be a polarizing issue even here, but we do remove anything we consider a violation of any instance rule (usually based on the interpretation of whichever admin resolves a report) as long as it's actually reported. In this case, the comment you reported was removed (among others).
I feel you. Apparently rule 3 goes out the window when people believe something was created with AI. Like do people not get the implications of how easily serious conversations can be derailed if people can just claim AI and poison the well about whatever was said. It's unprincipled, reactionary behavior. Wrestling with ideas rather than individuals is pragmatism in the context of relative anonymity online, not just about being friendly; we can struggle over an analysis regardless of who or where it came from. If we have to know where it came from in order to do so, internet discussion becomes limited to only discussing information direct from public sources.
That said, people shouldn't take everything they see on the internet at face value, including from public sources. Even liberals would probably agree on that one. But there is also never going to be a magic formula or intuition or vibe check for discerning when you're being deceived. Only careful investigation can consistently and reliably reveal that and it's simply impractical to be thorough with everything posted online, so you have to sort of read in a fixed state of one eyebrow raised without making your head hurt and your tone hostile.
Yeah I see people constantly wrong about x being AI all the time. Most recently with the leaked Mass Effect trailer.
Or like calling — a sure-fire sign of AI (most LLM models have already moved past the early stage telltale tonal signs).
The technology will develop until you CANNOT tell anymore. To capital digital artists and graphic designers are no more sacred than the lacemakers and weavers of a thousands and thousands years of tradition rendered near extinct by automation.
Take your time comrade. mental health is more important than any site.
