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.

For a bunch of decades, they haven't been executed on the streets in broad daylight. How is it going now?

The problem with your logic though is you think it just started one day. We've been on this road for a while. Trump doesn't exist without Bill Clinton's deregulation spree. Donald Trump wouldn't nearly be this powerful without Obama's expansion of the surveillance state. Neoliberals have contributed to what we're seeing right now and it's important not to forget that. During the Bush Administration all the neoliberals voted for the Patriot Act which basically created everything that's killing people in the street right now.

Yeah, except they didn't use it to kill people. The crime is not buying the car, or sharpening the knife, the crime is driving somewhere and stabbing people.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

They were absolutely killing people you're out of mind if you think otherwise.

I correct my statement to "blatantly murdering American citizens in broad daylight".

Every US president has killed foreigners by the tens of thousands, that's just old news.

Yeah, except they didn’t use it to kill people.

And they never asked themselves what would happen when it inevitably fell into nefarious hands. Because neoliberals exist to prepare a comfortable environment for fascism to flourish in.

Again, making knifes and selling knifes is not a crime. Stabbing people is.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Taking commissions to make knives from people wearing shirts that say "I'm going to stab you as soon as you make me a knife" isn't a crime. But it's foolish and gets you stabbed.

Which is why you support anyone who does it.

Those regulations existed for decades, sometimes centuries, and it were lobbied for by Trump or project 2025.

Nobody was wearing that t-shirt.

Pretty fucking poorly, which is why I'm not crazy about the strategy we've been using for the past decades. You understand these events didn't just happen out of nowhere, right? They're a result of the things that happened before them.

Yes, electing the 34 criminal traitor pedophile.

Real "if a democrat were doing this we'd be at brunch right now" energy.

As long as they don't wear a tan suit, right?
