Yahoo gave $17 million to a Chinese dissident for human rights work. You'll never guess what happened next.

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.
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)

edit: Also an accused paedophile:
Of course he's from Shanghai
Is this because Shanghai is often viewed as a technologically advanced yet morally depraved equivalent to Las Vegas, in China?
I hope that I'm able to move to Shanghai one day.
Shanghai was a primary "treaty city" meaning it was EXTREMELY heavily influenced by the western world and liberal ideology for nearly 2 centuries.
Its also a financial capital, meaning its full of bankers, investment moguls, and the ultra rich.
Yeah, I get all of that. From what I'm seeing though, it hopefully looks to be shedding that reputation piece by piece.
Not really in all honesty, China needs a financial capital for the time being, and Shanghai has worked perfectly for that. Little changed has happened there, and it is a major international hub, so the influence persists.
Hopefully in the near future.
