Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

While I understand why people protest in the street, it really doesn't do all that much... Perhaps there should be another term we use for large, permitted street gatherings, like an 'awareness campaign' or something.
I thought protests are supposed to be illegal, as you're purposely disobeying a rule to show how ridiculous/unjust it is.
I think that's civil disobedience, the definition for protest is below:
Civil disobedience can happen at a protest, but the protest itself isnt the same.

At that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification! I was definitely confusing the two.
Protests should be outside the homes of politicians and in the offices of the rich. Not the streets
