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.

It is true that “thug” is being used as a racist dog whistle.

My point is exactly the opposite. Whether or not someone is a thug has nothing to do with the colour of their skin.

mass deportations started with Obama, and continued with Trump and Biden. Biden didn’t even stop the controversial family separation. And we have to be vigilant that the next Democrat cunt might just normalize all of this rather than making substantial changes and reparations with only some symbolic changes.

I agree. All governments = cunts. Trump + Maga = turbo cunts+++.

if you fail to acknowledge that, then you aren’t asking to end this tyranny and violence, you’re just asking for it to go back when it only affected minorities and you had the privilege to ignore it. and yes, if that’s your attitude you are undeniably as racist as ICE agents, just afraid to acknowledge it. you shouldn’t get to pat yourself in the back and call yourself an ally.

How you could read my original comment and think I might be racist is just mind-blowing. As for my supposed "privilege", I wasn't born in the USA and I don't live in the USA so...

that's why I started with an "If", I'm dealing with so many white saviours here that I now feel I need to prerespond to the conplaints.

the issue isn't just how you see the word, but how it is seen. I might argue that the R word is harmless and I don't see it as insensitive, but ignoring how everyone else sees it and using it will make me an asshole. Euphemism treadmill is real and Fox news has been using "thug" it as a racist euphemism. so here we are.
