Flippanarchy
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.

Thank you for your optimism, friend. I worry about the far-right groups that are gaining power all throughout Europe, as well. I hope you guys do a better job keeping them out of power than we have!
Yeah, it's not the coolest trend to see rise in Europe, but it is always easier for extremists to be taken seriously during times where people are struggling so I see it as an expression of that.
I of course can't say how this trend develops in Europe, but I don't believe it is going to be a new normal for us longterm.
There's still a strong sense of unity in Europe even if Russia and America are doing their damnedest to destabilize us. I choose to hold on to optimism because fuck Putin and fuck Trump. They don't get to dictate whether or not I get to have hope and compassion for my fellow man.
It's really hard sometimes to not let hate and anger take over, but it's so important to reject that shit. I have to remind myself of that everytime I get angry with the trump administration and whatever demonic shit putin is doing on his end.
Anyway, sorry for babbling. I hope you have a great weekend, my friend. Peace and love!
