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

Rules

  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

Are you ready to throw your life away and turn against everything you've learned in your life?

I'm not a monstrous piece of shit so I'll never find myself in this kind of situation. There is not a single moment in my life where I have supported the military actions of the US despite living in the Imperial core, and it's not like my parents were anti-war hippies or something.

Victims of propaganda

The only victims of their propaganda that I care about are the innocent people they've slaughtered.

I don't think you realize that you are blessed that you didn't grow up in Israel. Refusing to serve because of your conscience gets you an exemption in 10% of cases there. The 90% who didn't want to serve but had no other choice are not monsters, they are caught between a rock and a hard place. Even those who got lucky and didn't have to serve lose most of their job chances and are branded as undemocratic and traitors - even the "leftwing"-Israelis look down on the "refuseniks". If you flee your country to dodge the draft, you can never come back, leaving behind everyone who you hold dear.

You can call what most of them DO monstrous (and i agree fully), but they are still human beings. And to feel such remorse that you take your own life is very human - more than any of those who continue to kill can ever be.
