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.

Some things to consider, for those interested in objectivity:
P.S. The Snopes article on this is 15 years old, so imagine the age of the actual screenshot.
[^1]: > Mitigating factors in Allen's sentencing were the fact that the fraud was already underway when he became CEO of TBW in 2003, that his crime was a non-violent one, and that Allen was one of six persons who received credit on their sentences for cooperating with investigators and testifying against Farkas, the mastermind of the fraud scheme. (Farkas himself was sentenced to thirty years in prison.)
[^2]: > Brown admitted walking up to a teller with one of his hands under his jacket and telling her it was a "stickup."
The violent crime he committed according to a liberal:
Threatening to shoot and kill someone if they don't give you what you want, even if the victim is not aware you're not actually armed, definitely counts, don't know what point you're trying to make.
Also, I quoted that exact line in my own comment, why are you bringing that up in your reply as if it's information I concealed/withheld or something?
It only counts only in a bullshit legal system way, of which no normal person should give the time of day too.
Poverty and stolen working class money actually kills people, finger guns do not.
To even pretend it is the other way around is the most vile fucking liberal take imaginable.
TBH I've been stabbed and I've been scammed and guess what set me back less.
If you're in the US, the medical bills might cost you more than both
Sure, whatever. Say that capitalism is bad and America is a fascist dictatorship or I'm going to downvote you.
Here's your tomato tomato. I'm not hugely familiar with crimlaw (everyone in the family did civil if they were in legal so those are the proceedings I'm familiar with) but the few criminal proceedings I followed closely, they'd pick one defendant and get all the others to turn on them. If you'd flip, you'd get 2 years for conspiracy. If you didn't, you'd get 25 for wasting the court's time.
