Flippanarchy
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.

Nope. Stop trying to spout strawmen and whataboutisms to distract from the crystal clear point you're willfully ignoring.
I'm supposed to ignore the fact that Hamas tortures people? I'm supposed to ignore the fact that Hamas has objectively made things horrible for the Palestinian people?
While you make jokes and memes, while Palestinians in the parts of Gaza Hamas still controls are being tortured. You don't care about Palestinians, you only care about conforming to meme culture.
Nobody said Hamas was perfect. But dont forget the main reason Hamas is classified by the west as a terrorist organisation is because that's how Israel likes it. That's why they installed them into power in the first place. It gives them carte blanche to murder the fuck out of them, while western allies turn a blind eye to the killing of more ~~terrorists~~brown people. If you think of Hamas as freedom fighters against a genocidal colonial occupier then things really start to take on a different perspective.
I'd be damned before I consider right wing theocratic reactionaries freedom fighters.
Nope.
You're not supposed to make every criticism of Liberal Zionists about how "Hamas is bad, mmkay?" either, though. That's known as whataboutism and deflection.
Mostly by the fascist apartheid regime whose supporters I'm making fun of, though.
What kind of baseless nonsense is that?
Methinks the Zionist apologist protests too much 🙄
Fun fact: "meme culture" has more sympathy for Palestinians (including even Hamas) than the fascist occupation forces because HUMANS do in general.
You don't have to "conform to meme culture" to ridicule Liberal Zionists, you just need a tiny smidgeon of awareness of what's happening in occupied Palestine and the most infinitesimal understanding of scale and balance of power.
