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.

She's now at CHRD and learned her lesson because CHRD doesn't divulge any information about itself. All they have is a collection of articles they get from other places.

Yet just a few days ago the Guardian wrote:

According to data gathered by Chinese Human Rights Defenders, a US-based NGO, between 2017 and 2019, there were 29 cases of law firms or lawyers having their licences revoked or suspended, compared with nine cases between 2014 and 2016.

Which means this no-name, opaque NGO is able to investigate this kind of stuff. Who pays for it? Like I get doing a labor of love but I also doubt people like Sophie Richardson don't have a source of income.

In a way it makes them glow even more because you have to wonder how exactly that no-name NGO with a website made in 2008 counts as a job. This is the only job she has listed on her linkedin, along with her previous title at HRW and a one-year stint as a 'visiting scholar' at Stanford in-between the two.

CHRD on linkedin itself has only 2-10 employees; this is filled in by how many people list them as their employer. They have a "Team associate" living in Hong Kong... unfortunately, their profile is private. CHRD is based in Washington ostensibly as it lists two employees in washington, one of them being Sophie.

OSINT is a joke but sometimes we can still use a bit of it lol
