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.

We have these coin lock trollies here.
I made a tool that bypasses the coin lock so I know that every time I return my trolley I am motivated purely by social concern and not self interest.
I am 100% serious, I wish I knew what was wrong with me.
In that case, allow me to fix that last line for you:
Be the change and all that. Keep being socially conscious - we need that more than ever right now.
It's completely derranged to be so annoyed at the idea of being coerced into doing something that you buy a thing, pull it apart and figure out how it works, make a tool to bypass it, and continue doing exactly the same thing but now "freerer"
This man invented a machine to prove his morality.
Not a man. The sexism of assuming everyone is sucks
You can also use the round side of a key to bypass it.
They hand out free plastic tokens for the trollies at the registers here in Lidl's in Denmark, and people still put their trolly back.
Yes yes, everything is better in denmark except the food. We are very tired of hearing this :p
Legacy of good ol' small town social control that we call "the law of Jante" in Northern Europe, rule 6 I think: "You're not to think you are more important than we are."
Only someone from a nordic country could look at satire of conformity and say "Good idea!" the remarks later in the article, my lord. While I'm all for a tight binding social contract I think you should be encouraged to be weird while fulfilling it!
We even have those little plastic coins in Aus! Just had to ask at the help desk at the supermarket and they'd give you one with its own little keyring adaptor too! Really useful when you needed it!
I routinely take the cart back and forget to take the coin back.
I can give you knowledge of the craft of bypassing but you must swear that you shall not misuse it, nor pass it on before determining the good character of the receiver and swearing them to this same oath.
You may find in time the knowledge weighs heavily upon you, and you will be forced to confront who you truly are.
(trolleys are srs biznus)
Fuckin' Uncle Ben up in here with his trolley problem.
