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.

Why would it be racist to use the terms "thugs" and "gangs" to refer to white people? If anything, we should keep using them this way - decouple those terms from racial connotations.
If we don't reclaim words from use in hate speech, we'll run out of words and communicate like cavemen using grunts and pointing. We're currently in the process of losing the word "ice" to hatred ffs
You're right, you should go make a conlang to be sure that none of the words you use have ever been said by a racist in a racist way.
it genuinely sucks that words change and become racist. the R word was meant to be the correct term. but assholes exist.
language changes, too fast if you ask me. but it does. we have no choice but to keep with the times.
