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.

During her campaign, Kamala Harris promised to go after "illegal immigrants" and create the most lethal military in the world. The DNC just released a report claiming that Trans people were a weight around Harris' neck that she should have abandoned. When asked if she would change things from Biden era policies on Isreal, she claimed nothing would change under her tenure.
I voted for Harris because I wanted Trump to lose, but it really seemed like a vote for Harris was a vote to harm the marginalized, the minority, the child, and the disabled. A lot of people heard what was said and saw actions enacted and decided not to vote for either party because they saw the options presented as, "harm lots" or "harm lots but with pride stickers".
I just got told since I'm already marginalized by our political and voting system I shouldn't say anything in political discussions. Blue MAGA is really a thing.
That's why its a good practice to ignore campaign bullshit and look at their voting history. Pretty much no one actually follows through on campaign promises.
Harris ran a bad campaign, but she was actually a good option if you look at the stats that matter.
It seemed DNC thought they could gain votes by appealing to republicans that were on the fence, and underestimate their core base found it incredibly distasteful and apparently had amnesia from the previous trump admin.
It doesn't matter how good the restaurant is if all their advertising says, "we put bugs in our food!" It is kinda useless to consider how good the Kamala presidency might have been, how much of her campaign she would or would not have followed through on. People made their choice based on what she said she would do, and people did not like what she was promising.
It is possible that she would have given less weapons to Isreal, but that's not what she said she would do. It's possible that she would have reined in ICE and defunded them, but that's not what she said she would do. It's possible that she would have protected the rights of minority groups, but that's not what she said she would do. Even if Kamala Harris had a perfect voting record and had a history of supporting progressive changes, I think it would be very reasonable to become skeptical of her based on her campaign promises.
So don’t vote Dem or GOP? Got it.
