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.

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.
Join the matrix room for some real-time discussion.

I really don't understand these comments. There is no distraction; both are symptoms of the same disease, and everyone in power is past worrying about diverting attention.
They're starting to remind me of "it's been X days since Sean Hannity agreed to be waterboarded for charity" that used to be on Reddit all the time. At a certain point, you just have to realize it's not gonna happen.
My one exception here is that Hannity being waterboarded would ultimately be a stunt with a meager charity benefit. The Epstein Files would actually cause a whole lot of damage to power structures.
The Files are important for a number of reasons:
I don’t think we need to stop talking about his endless firehouse of flooding the zone, but we need to keep our focus on the one thing that can bring him down and by now the longest standing scandal around his neck he hasn’t yet been able to shake.
Fuck the Epstein files, eroding rights isn't the distraction. The Epstein files ARE the distraction. You're a fool.
The Epstein Files are absolutely important and still relevant, but let's be real... he'd be doing this whether or not the Files were hanging over him. And although I would argue that the US government has never stopped repressing antifascists, this is at least a signal that it's gonna get worse for us or anyone the government can paint as an antifascist...i.e. anyone with a conscience. I.e., I don't think this meme applies.
As far as I'm concerned, that was our last chance to change the minds of the cult. That being dropped as quickly as it was plus all the Charlie Kirk shit cemented it imo
Who's to say (nice username) it's been really dropped? I think a lot of MAGA people are still very upset about Epstein even if they are momentarily distracted by Kirk dropping a new public toilet. Which is why for almost any other mainstream news story I would absolutely agree with the meme, but I do think that openly repressing antifascist groups is more than just a distraction from Epstein.
Agreed
There was never a chance to change the minds of the cult. Late stage capitalism will collapse into fascism as sure as gasoline will burn when exposed to fire. The absolute best case scenario would be that a new (likely more competent) fascist demagogue would get into power. Epstein is and has always been a bust.
they could murder your whole family in front of you and you’d say "why would you distract me from the epstein files like this?"
