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.

I’m not trying to justify anything - nowhere have I stated that any action that IDF soldiers or Hamas fighters have taken are justifiable. It’s an extremely messy, complex and convoluted set of circumstances and it does no one any service to attempt to simplify and boil down what has happened and what is happening to simple, binary soundbites.
I’m just trying to inject some empathy into this discussion. I understand that not everyone has a great capacity for empathy - particularly towards those who appear to have no empathy themselves - but to allow those who we oppose to turn us into death-hungry monsters is allowing them to harm us. I won’t allow the atrocities and war crimes to turn me into someone who cheers for death.
You only hear that bullshit when talking about the oppresors of palestinians. I never heard that excuse about russian soldiers. I never saw anybody critising rhe celebration of the death of war criminals like Dick Cheney
What you hear; what I hear; what others hear is entirely dependent upon what we subscribe to and what services we use to access information. We no longer live in a world where there are three newspapers everyone gets their information from. If you didn’t hear that then that’s likely due to the bubble you’re in. What I’ve heard is due to the bubble I’m in. We all get fed content that espouses views we already hold.
