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.

Rape.
It is rape, in every possible sense, in many different contexts or layers of complexity.
Coercive, forceful and subtle, manipulative and brash, extraction and destruction, that gaslights and lies and normalizes itself.
It never asks for consent, it either assumes it or demands it, and escaping it is often quite difficult and very risky to attempt.
But it rapes everything.
The land, the environment, people's bodies and minds and their time and their thoughts, language itself, etc.
The more technical details of how and why this metaphor is apt... the various aspects of complexities of different systems or aspects of subsystems... at the end of the day, the nature or character common to any specific instance of capitalism is that of a rapist.
Wow, this is easily the most extreme response I've received on the topic. What led you to feel this way?
There is no response extreme enough when it comes to this topic.
