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.

I want to live in a world where people return the shopping carts, therefore I do it myself. If you don't, you're an antisocial prick.
Sometimes I even fix the shit show of random carts in random return lanes so everything fits all neat.
Same. And I'm being serious here while it could sound sarcastic:
I feel good knowing I saved the cart return guy 15 seconds. His day will not be improved because he still needs to move all the carts; and when that task ends there will be another. I understand this, but I still feel like I made the place better than I found it. Where I am, it's hot-AF outside right now, so I hope that I'm making the next indoor task sooner and my time is appreciated -- but my time is literally like <1 minute, so I know it's not a lot of anti-entropy.
My math is that, with billions of people on the planet, if even part of us tried to save someone 15 seconds every few days, we could build so much faith in humanity.
Absolutely agree. I return mine every time and silently judge everyone who doesn't. It's the simplest thing in the world
I give the people in the handicapped spots a pass. They might not physically be able to go to the cart return and back.
Or they may be totally capable but it will burn up their energy reserves for the day and have more stuff to get done.
Best not to judge, as you said.
There's no scripture about shopping carts therfore there's no eternal damnation looming over you if you don't put them back. Take that atheists!
What does returning a cart have to do with being social?
Social as in "building or maintaining society".
Not social as In "socializing in order to enter high society".
Not the previous poster, but it acknowledges one's participation in collective behavior for mutual benefit.
(As in "society.")
Leaving a stray cart in the parking lot is very antisocial behavior.
