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.

ysk that Einsatzgruppe is just the German word for "task force". What you're referring to only makes sense when you specify you mean one of the SS.
The "Einsatzgruppen" were a gaggle of former or current cops, aging reservists and some volunteers who were sent in after the Wehrmacht had taken a territory.
Their job was to shoot Jews and Partisans. While "Einsatzgruppe" is the German word for Task Force, talking about the "Einsatzgruppen" always refers to these groups in the Third Reich.
the "n" at the end is regular German plural btw. don't fall for this farce
Kollege, ich weiß nicht, was du mir damit sagen willst. Ich hab sowohl im Englischen als auch im Deutschen den Plural verwendet.
Wenn jemand im Englischen von "Einsatzgruppen" spricht, dann meint er nicht das Konzept von "Task Force" in einem deutschen Kontext. Es geht dabei, vor allem wenn wir schon über das Dritte Reich reden, um die "Einsatzgruppen des SD".
it's literally in the German dictionary. the firebrigades have Einsatzgruppen here too, for example.
some probably nazi professor getting a German boner when he doesn't translate the title of units properly, doesn't change reality.

Brother, it's the name of the groups used in WW2. it's also a generic name, but the "Einsatzgruppen" were a commando unit, whether you like it or not. it's their fucking name.
It was an euphemism for the guys who went around shooting jews.
