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.
Join the matrix room for some real-time discussion.

That last bit is key to understanding US society. Violence has rarely worked in favor of the common US citizen, but has been used effectively to suppress them time and time again as we saw with the Civil Rights movement.
Violence only solves things in one way and that way is the exact opposite of what the majority of people want who are looking to improve society. The violent nature of the US brought through war and neoimperialism has perverted the entire world ushering in a new age of global fascism.
I shudder at the stupidity of people who think a violent revolution is going to fix things. That their rhetoric will magically rise from the ashes to create a better society. There are zero examples of this and most revolutions, saving perhaps the Haitain, were just wealthy groups using citizens as pawns.
Anyone's rhetoric of a better society is preferable to fascism. We literally can't do worse, and can't wait any longer. Whether or not violence can help doesn't depend on your country.
