Flippanarchy
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.

As someone who has been interested in retro, vintage, and antique technology since I was a preteen for me at least it's just the simplicity of it all. An old light from say the 1950s breaks and it's like 4 components max and there's a pretty good chance it's just something that needs to be tightened or cleaned, meanwhile a modern light breaks and it's almost always a fucking board meaning I can't fix it by just tightening a screw and fuck me if it has touch controls.
I will say I do like plenty of modern tech for example the FM transmitter in my truck or my computers but holy fuck I had to shop around just to find a fan that didn't need WiFi and I still got one where it's optional.
I miss DIY culture so much. I grew up impoverished so replacement wasn't always an option for us. I learned basic household repair and electronics just by watching the adults in my family do appliance repairs or tinker with old radio equipment.
