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.

Didn't a cop arrest a firefighter because he wouldn't move his truck while trying to save someone's life?

And ICE detained that group of firefighters tackling a burning wildfire a month or two ago.

Pigs can't accept being upstaged

Tackling it?

Throwing yourself bodily at flames doesn't sound like a very efficient method of fire extinguishing IMO 🤔

That's why they have the asbestos suits

Fighting a category 3 wild fire is one of the rare times both Rabbit Punches and Full Nelsons are legally sanctioned.

I legitimately doubled over laughing

Someone understands the fire triangle!

That happens way more often than we're told. The only thing rare about it is detention going all the way to formal charges.

The bright side, it also happens the other way around. I've seen video of a firetruck driving through a cop car because they wouldn't move out of the way during an emergency. And the police dept couldn't do a damn thing about it. Karma in little pieces here and there.

The rarer cousin of FUCKYOUIMABUS.

in most areas - at a fire like that we outrank them. i’ve yelled at a few who park like shitheads, and tell them they’re fucked because now i have 5” hose charged laying over the ground and they couldn’t drive their car away if they wanted to. They embarrass easy with their weak egos.

I’ve seen firefights tell off cops who are in the way. Including one parked in front of a hydrant, a superior hot real upset at that one.
