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.

A lot of people are pretending that this is a nothingburger, but I'm afraid it's probably not - they are manufacturing consent for a crackdown.
I mean I'm not pretending it's a nothingburger, but IMO this is nowhere near the first piece of "manufacturing consent" in recent memory for repressing antifascists. Like IMO it's like there's an indicator is going off...but like 69 other indicators are going off that indicate the same condition. You feel me?
Sure thing... but two things.
First, thanks to ICE, the Trump regime now knows how to disappear people without getting stuck on any legal or institutional obstacles. Two, thanks to ICE (again), they now know exactly what reaction (or, rather, lack of it) to expect from the wider US public and/or media when they do.
It's one thing to get hold of the hammer, it's another to figure out how to turn every problem into a nail - and I'd say they have now managed both.
That might be why this feels... different.
Okay those are great points.
