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.

All you can do is plant seeds in their mind about some of the more realistic & plausible ways to effect change, such as who they can vote for that will work towards easing their lives. They're probably already too overwhelmed to spend much time figuring out how to make things better, so do the thinking for them and gently drop clues they can remember in those rare moments when they're ready for it.

They have to be ready to hear it, or they'll just blow it off. The alternatives need to be fed to them repeatedly & subtly just like all the other propaganda & advertisements in their life so it can already be their head when they are ready to think about it. It's like fighting fire with fire.
