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.

Nothing in that picture is silver.
Which is more immoral: Flock cameras or spreading misinformation about the contents of them so the tweakers dismantle the network for us. Bonus- your catalytic converter remains in place while this happens.
The immoral bit would be the one where the tweakers risk jail time under false pretenses in terms of the reward.
Honestly makes for an allegory of capitalism. The worker (tweaker) does all the work and risks their health and freedom, while the beneficiary (people who want to get rid of the cameras) just enjoys the fruit of the worker's labor.
To be clear, I'm not saying getting rid of the cameras is a bad thing, I'm just saying tweakers are people too.
Copper would probably be a more believable material
Copper thieves know most electronics contain some amount of copper, we have to convince them the reward surpasses the inherent risk that comes from stealing a security camera. Why risk jail stealing a camera when you can continue the tried and true method of stripping poorly secured new construction sites? Because one camera is worth more than you can strip out a house in a week. Did I mention they have diamond lenses?
There are 'entreprenuers' stealing fibre-optic cables for copper... This might get them to stealing flock cameras instead.
Not if it doesn't pay
I mean I think we can crowdfund 10-15 dollars a piece to buy them from crackheads
Tell them they have to find the right one. All they have to do is try a few more.
this is actually true. about half the cameras contain gold and silver in much higher quantities than the other type.
Just have to keep trying until you figure out which is which.
~Shhhhh.~
