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.

Explanation: Plenty of European cultures and languages directly owe their existence (or nonexistent, see: Gaul) to the actions of the Roman Empire. The idea is that colonialism apologists like to say colonialism is too far into the past for its effects to matter to African development (and therefore it's not Europeans' fault for stealing incomprehensible amounts of wealth from the continent) while speaking in languages that wouldn't exist if not for nonsense a some Italians got up to millennia ago.

Colonial apologists in general can usually never come with a good reason to justify their colonialism so they come up with bad stuff like this

I'm reliably informed it 'doesn't count when Italians do it.

That's how Mario gets away with so many war crimes.

Some mother fuckers just can't forgive their victims for sticking around as reminders of how fucked up their actions were.

The colonization have never ended. Without international solidarity and anti-imperialist actions. I found this meme misleading.
