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.

Nina spitting truths as always. She's on fire recently, so follow her if you're not doing so already.

To be clear; everyone working in my government, particularly after today, is a Nazi, or someone who works for Nazis. Do you know what we call people who worked for the Nazis, in the Nazi government? Yes, that is correct, Nazis.

So Machado is certainly not gonna feel lonely on the list of people on my TV who are definitely Nazis.

Oh, was that too harsh? Are you feeling bad for the good career civil servants, working for the literal fucking Nazis, who I have just impuned? Cool, let's refer back to that part where I said I was surrounded by people who openly recognize that this is fascism, and ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY refuse to accept what that actually means.

We call people, who worked for the Nazi Party, in the Nazi government, Nazis. Nobody says "the Nazi government and the career civil servants who hated them but stayed."

"They'll just find someone else."

Then let them. "I took the job at the concentration camp because I was sure Hitler would find someone else" was not a good defense in court last time, and it won't be this time either.

You're right, it's much better if the government agents prop the nazi regime. A strike of any sort is totally edgelord behaviour.

Fucking cringe, mate.

You’re right, it’s much better if the government agents prop the nazi regime.

Who is propping up this regime, db0?

The people who collected your garbage this week, perhaps?

Howzabout the plumbers who ensures that there's water coming out of your taps? Perhaps them?

A strike of any sort is totally edgelord behaviour.

Who said anything about strikes? If the aforementioned garbage collectors and plumbers leave their government jobs out of some moral prerogative they can't actually go on strikes, can they? The only place they'll be "picketing" is on the unemployment line.

Go ahead explain to me how a park service maintenance worker scrubbing a toilet is propping up the regime.

Don't you know it's telephone sanitation engineers keeping society alive

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

have all the sanitation workers walkout and we'll see how quickly a regime with clogged toilets (among others) survives.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

They'd just put up an out of order sign or close the park. Doesn't effect the regime and only harms the public

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Harming the public helps the resistance, by turning the public against the oppressive regime. Just like the oppressive regime shooting an innocent woman in the head helps the resistance by turning the public against the oppressive regime.

Unfortunately I don't have that much faith in my fellow citizens anymore.

I don't think anything is going to change until many begin starving. Hope I'm wrong though

[–] saimen@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The increase has been sharpest at nursing homes and long-term care facilities

Right so elderly abuse isn't what I meant and you know that right?

[–] saimen@feddit.org 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's the most vulnerable group which is also kind of "observed" so it's where it starts/it is first noticed.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Right I'm clearly talking about economic times becoming so bad the average person begins to starve.

Your data points to either increase of abuse in care facilities or simply the result of a rapidly aging population. You can't tell which it is either because it doesn't provide the data but instead percentage increases. Which overall is a worthless metric. 5 to 15 is a 200% increase, but not helpful. Hell just this year I had an elderly family member die after refusing to eat. Despite the best efforts of the family and doctors she just wouldn't eat. Instead of force feeding her they let her pass peacefully.

Considering we saw increases in care facilities and the rapidly aging population your data tells me very little.

To be clear my point was about famine. Not about isolated cases of abuse or cases where people did not access available care or sources. Either due to unwillingness or being missed. These are obviously problems, but not the type I was discussing

It is better to have them there, rather than have the government be 100% Fascists. People who don't support them can slow things down by "accidentally" doing things wrong/poorly. If they all leave and are replaced by actual Fascists who want to support the regime, they will do things as well as they possibly can. Also, having people in there who can feed information is also really useful.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

This is the 22 years of slowing down you're talking about:
ICE killings

At the least you're honest on wanting them to stay there, accelerating genocide.
.001% Nazi state is still too many.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Lol. I don't think you understand how this all works. Do you think it'd be higher or lower with 100% of people working for them supporting what they want?

There's a very real and useful tactic called malicious compliance, where you do what's written but not what's intended, to slow down the machinery. It's a useful tactic, but you need people on the inside to do that.

If you still want them to leave after reading this, I'm assuming you're on their side. You want them to leave to make room for obedient workers. If so, fuck off. You're too easy to read.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Am I talking to a robot, or do you blatantly ignore the fact that ICE accelerated it's “machinery” after 2025, and that malicious compliance is having the opposite effect, as I replied to you back?

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How can you know it's having the opposite effect if they're accelerating their machinery? The result could easily just be the acceleration from increased spending and recruitment being more powerful than the malicious compliance.

If they leave, do you think those jobs remain vacant? Obviously not. They fill them with new employees, who will probably be sycophants. They'll be happy to do the job as desired and make things worse.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Because effectively “They [have] fill them with new […] sycophants. They’ll be happy to do the job as desired and make things worse.” It's 2026, they’ve point blank executed 9 people in Minnesota, a Blue state.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Alright, I'm done. I moving on. I don't know if you're actually just trying to help them or if you're so set in your stupid idiology to realize that you're helping them. Everyone getting out of their way is what they want. Malicious compliance has been used historically to great effect to slow down authoritarian regimes. If you can't recognize that then you aren't arguing in good faith.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

prove it.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

This has some examples against the Nazis. It's been used many more places too.

I suggest you researc before you are so sure that you're correct. You're closing yourself off to learning new things because you think you already know the answer.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Teslas are helping the Nazis.
Boeing too.
U-haul as well.
Ford, Cheveron, and all the Americans automotive makers are not doing malicious compliance (MC).

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Sure, the companies are not. They are in support of the regime, so why would they? They probably have employees who are though. You wouldn't know until after this is all done and they come out and say it. The entire point is to keep it descrete so you can continue doing it. You can't do it if they fire you.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 4 hours ago

They are “descretely” accelerating the genocide of fascism🤦‍♀️. Since you can't see that, the conversation is over.

[–] goldyLocks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

A strike of any sort is totally edgelord behaviour.

~~Uhhhh, I thought this was strictly an anarchist instance? Not a prog-lib one. You think ditching tried and true socialist praxis is "edgelord behaviour?"~~ OOps

Can you parse sarcasm?
