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

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

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.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

fuck that genocide-enabling noise. if your choices are to go to prison or take part in mass murder of innocents, then you don’t get a pass for opting to kill people to save yourself some discomfort.
I don’t disagree with you, but let’s try to at least understand the complexity of those decisions instead of viewing the world in black/white. That sort of thinking breeds fascism and authoritarianism.
TIL that saying people should go to jail instead of being Nazis makes me a Nazi.
Then don’t double down on genocide apologia. It’s really that fucking simple.
I am not engaging in genocidal apologia. Just because someone isn’t as hard-line as you are doesn’t mean that they’re opposed to you. Viewpoints are held on spectra because life doesn’t exist in binary states; it exists on spectra.
I hate the Israeli regime. I hate Zionism. I don’t believe that the state of Israel should exist. I think Benjamin Netanyahu and his ilk should be gaoled for the rest of their lives. I sympathise and empathise with the innocent people of Palestine and would love to see their sovereignty established and upheld by the international community.
I also believe that celebrating the suicide of IDF members is a fraught and dangerous precedent.
One can understand the complexity of a circumstance without ‘picking a side’. One can understand that humanity is complex, nuanced and difficult to understand. One can abhor the actions of a person while trying to better understand the motivations for that action. One can walk and chew gum.
