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.

The main reason is that while there are people who are willing to politically fight for the right thing, there are very few people who are willing to die for the right thing.
Luigi is one of those and even he has affluence.
We need 100+ Luigi's before we see the average person willing to risk their life.
Think about it this way: what would happen right now if Luigi were to die by the state? If he can't usher systematic change, what chance does my life have?
This isn't just online. While I'm not going to openly talk about what forms of resistance my local group has taken on, very few people are willing to do more than what we've been doing and it's frustrating.
Trump and the GOP are literally running the fascism playbook and we only have a few more chapters left until he has the ability to fully dismantle democracy.
If he does dismantle democracy, then you will see people fight. You wouldn't want to end up in jail or dead if the majority support him and will just install a new fascist in his place. You would have wasted your life for nothing. Your group would have more impact if it educated voters instead.
