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.

boxes like this in dublin get painted by artists as things like tarot cards, match boxes, scenes from around the city, etc: https://dublin.ie/live/stories/dublin-canvas/
it'd be cool to see street artists just decide to take them over directly with their own art/designs, so they're not always going through a county/local council (which i assume involves sanitising any socio-political messages the artists might have)
In my town, the boxes by intersections that I assume control the traffic lights were all painted in the downtown and business heavy areas. They look nice. Then there's the no-nonsense green ones in every other area. I know what I'd rather look at.
Is it plain green boxes with belligerent text?
I can see painting something effortful to make a statement, but not what's in the picture.
Usually happens after the one that took effort is painted over.
I would have expected it to say "oh no it has paint on it" in that case.
The graffiti for its own sake in this context feels really crass in the same way that installing a fancy sign at a food pantry that says "Get a job." does.
I'll take the downvotes for that perspective, but you can have some money and support anarchist points of view at the same time.
