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.

This is silly, off the top of my head:

Electric lighting, Air conditioning, refrigeration, vacuums, washers/dryers, modern toilets + sewage systems, grocery stores, GPS guided + Air-conditioned combine harvesters.

This very moment I have my Instapot cooking, the dishwasher washing, the washer washing, the dryer drying, as I lie in bed (which I bought instead of made) cooled by a fan. I just took a drink from a water bottle I didnt have to whittle by hand. Life is, in this beautiful instant, pretty good.

Great, I’ll let the people in the line outside the food bank know that things are actually pretty sweet right now.

While you're doing that, ask them if the food bank line is preferable to literal famine because the crop their family spent 14 houes a day to dig by hand failed.

Thanks bro I just told them all that their life is way better than a 16th century peasant. They were stoked. Then four of them OD'd on fentanyl and fucking died.

I answered the topic "has technology ever improved working hours, conditions, leisure time?" with examples of how it objectively has.

Can you explain your reasoning otherwise; or are we just here to have an doomer circlejerk about the existence of poverty instead?
