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

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

Elon is a monstrous turd who has certainly killed plenty of people with his actions but I really doubt those numbers. The only time I’ve heard people cite these things about USAID they’re based on projections from how many people were receiving aid, not actual, recorded deaths. From what I understand, some of the void left by USAID has been filled by other international and local organizations so those projections are extremely flawed and inflated.

Do you have a source for this?

Agreed. I'm sure there have been and will continue to be some deaths as a direct result of abruptly halting aid like this, but I wouldn't be surprised if the broad result was actually a soft power vacuum that enabled China to casually dance their way into being the good guy for millions of people, paving the way for good international relations in regions that were otherwise gonna be hard as fuck for them to enter. Now their foot is in the door.
