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 don't get the use of the word "demonic". Demons aren't real, the US however, is.
One of the things I've realized over the years is that it's so hard to talk to people about capitalism and AmeriKKKan imperialism in particular because the reality is so much more evil than the rest of humanity is able to come up with, and the actual words (e.g. capitalism) are taboo.
Like if demons were real, the AmeriKKKan capitalist class would be worse.
And IMO, it's usually a safe choice to sacrifice some precision for agitprop.
... that's a fairly funny thing to say, from a person with the username y0kai.
Even funnier that it's being called out by someone with the username being a l33t sp34k version of the word "spectral"
I mean, I'm all in favor of spooky, fantastic, imagery and language, with layered meanings and connotations, when appropriate.
I'm not arguing against it's use, with a mildly leet-speak version of a kind of demon/vengeful spirit from Japanese folklore, as a username.
... Do you see the difference?
I'm not saying you're against it. I'm just saying it's a funny coincidence that your name is also a word for a supernatural entity related to ghosts/spirits.
Ah!
Well then, I guess we'll have to see if a shinigami or phantasm shows up, maybe a poltergeist will figure out how to work a keyboard =P
They didn't call them demons, they called them demonic
I don't see a problem.
The idea is to create resonance - not dot the "i"s on some secular fundamentalist check list.
Name is weirdly appropriate.
