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.

On top of the magical thinking encouraged by any religion, Islam:

  • Explicitly condones child marriage and rape (Muhammad married Aisha when she was 6-9 and consummated the marriage at 9-12)
  • Explicitly condones slavery; many of the details of the way in which it does this were progressive for the time, such as freeing slaves as atonement for sins, but that's the problem with considering a text to be eternally perfect: the world moves on. Kosher butchering is another example of this phenomenon.
  • Strongly condemns apostasy; a minority of scholars believe that the only punishment involved is in the afterlife, but even then, there's social pressure to not even consider leaving the religion. This ties back into the suppression of free thought and the encouragement of magical thinking common to so many religions.
