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.

"If you're disabled, you're better off getting a job that pays $10k over the US median annual income than collecting disability."
What a worthless take.
I mean fuck me for setting my standards further than being in poverty forever. By the way, college certification courses aren't hard to pay for with payment plans and SaaS/cloud computing isn't a bad one. Even hvac is bumpin' and that's one that autistics can accel at. You could sell an infrastructure or build it and it's less than 15,000$ to get there. Hvac can get to Six Figures but SaaS/Cloud Computing is a high starter. Mri techs aren't bad either those are high paying low cost certification profession.
Set your goals higher than a bui. How about we help those who are in poverty get into these careers and build them up instead of keeping them on fucking poverty jeezus man.
Okay, so you are more able-bodied than some people. Awesome for you. Not everyone is capable of what you are, even with extensive support. Telling those people to get off SSI, go to school, and get a job isn't helpful. In fact, it mostly just further erodes their self-worth because everything in our fucking society is tied to what value a person can produce for capitalism.
Everyone deserves to be able to live, even if they can't work.
Really someone learning a valuable skill errors their self worth how? Maybe by a dead end job market but that's their fault then for not doing research on the job market before spending money on furthering your life and btw Affirm has payment plans that are affordable for nearly every earning bracket for college courses.
Leanring a skill that can help you earn money and get you out of poverty is what fucked up?
