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.

Fun fact, you can see that this poster is for Seattle.
The police union has used its power to force the city to not allow more than about 24 responders on the "CARE" team, which is a team of non-police responders that are basically just well-equipped social workers with formal training that lets them incredibly effectively handle things like mental health emergencies, drug users, etc.
They then put additional restrictions in place to make it even harder for those people to get dispatched to a scene, such as if any drugs are visible at all, if the person is "confrontational", if they're in a building or car, or if there's an "indication" they've committed any form of crime at all.
Dispatchers also can't send the CARE team alongside police anymore.
The police don't just do their jobs badly, they force the city to spend money on their high salary and high overtime wages to get worse results, instead of sending in actual professionals.
ACAB.

That wasn't fun at all, that was bloody infuriating!
