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.

Itās odd that people cannot see the obvious: āthose instancesā are simply fronts for Russian and Chinese influence campaigns. They actually prefer Republicans in power, Trump in particular, because they harm America. They want to divide the left and create litmus tests for DNC candidates that are impossible to achieve. Notably, the MAGA grifters benefiting from this division are unbridled by these requirements.
These are the same people who started the whole āGenocide Joeā mantra in order to breed apathy on the left. It doesnāt seem to matter that Trump wants to kill or displace every Palestinian and turn their home lands into a resort.
This is just something y'all say, it's made up. On the rare occasions where I've encountered a Trump supporter on here I call them out the same way. I suppose I could go over to Truth Social and try to sell them on communism but I doubt they'd be particularly receptive, and besides, our people built the platform.
"Met with the news the Israelis delivered the most devastating bomb & artillery attack on W. Beirut lasting 14 hours. Habib cabledādesperateāhas basic agreement from all parties but cant arrange details of P.L.O. withdrawal because of the barrage. King Fahd called begging me to do something. I told him I was calling P.M. Begin immediately. And I didāI was angry. I told him it had to stop or our entire future relationship was endangered. I used the word holocaust deliberately & said the symbol of his war was becoming a picture of a 7 month old baby with itās arms blown off. He told me he had ordered the bombing stoppedāI asked about the artillery fire. He claimed the P.L.O. had started that & Israeli forces had taken casualties. End of call. Twenty mins. later he called to tell me heād ordered an end to the barrage and plead for our continued friendship. Spent rest of day meeting with Congressmen on Tax bill."

Don't try to tell me supporting an end to the genocide is "impossible."
No they fucking aren't.
Yeah, it's especially obvious when you call them out on how silly or ridiculous their take is and they just come back at you with some extreme non-sequitor that does nothing to engage with the argument you make. I'm sure there are some "real" people on those instances, but they're definitely drowning in the flavor-aid at this point.
Dehumanising people for disagreeing with you and being racist towards Chinese and Russian people is so amazingly leftist of you. I wish I could be this principled and progressive.
