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

  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.

Gallons of bleach followed by gallons of ammonia down them. That or a tire fire near the inlets.

A few loose shits first though.

tear gas + liquid ass would be a potent combo

Just get a concrete truck and seal in the deal. Because some random person could walk by and be corrupted by their promises. Much harder to break through 2 meters of concrete than remove a chair.

I always said, if push comes to shove, I will make it my postapocalyptic endgoal of shitting into every single bunker's air vents until they choke on the fumes.

The chair won't work on that door. But no bunker is save from an angry mob with Oxygentorches and Jackhammers

No just a welder seal that shit shut. I bet if you run a bead down half the height of the door on the opening end it wouldn't open..

I am 100% convinced that the reason they're so obsessed with AI is that they're planning for societal collapse and trying to automate away all the skills and labor they're incapable of doing (which ie essentially everything). Their dream is to go down into a luxury bunker, let an automated security system kill any plebes that try to break in, and have a super intelligence take care of them.

Not to mention unguarded stocks of high explosives... or just pouring a fuckload of bleach down their ventilation systems.

[–] oatscoop@midwest.social 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Find a few large trucks or tractors and fuck up their emissions systems: i.e. "rolling coal". Drive up to the air intakes and attach the exhausts to the air intakes.

Their CBRN filters will get destroyed in short order and then they're screwed.

Bethesda (game developer of Fallout games) called it in Fallout 4. The Vaults as seen in the games (and the TV show) seem to have the purpose of keeping radiation out, in the case of nuclear war. That was the advertised purpose. In Fallout 4 (one of the DLCs), it is revealed that their actual purpose is to build them on other planets. Robots do the terraforming while humanity lives in the bunker, and the humans come out when it's safe.

Elon Musk is trying to get people to Mars. That's where the bunker will be. They'll leave us Earth, after stripping its resources and leaving us with the climate change and all that good stuff.

[–] khaleer@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's not bathesda idea, oryginal fallouts were meant as a testing chambers for Vault-Tec. Only some were meant literally for survival of the wealthiest.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (4 children)

and that was the idea from the original game (1997). Although I don't think it was part of the GURPS Vault 13 (the game that became FO1, circa 1994-1995)

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Interesting, I didn't know FO spawned from GURPS

Though Vault-Tec were not actually very good at their job. The small number of vaults we see in the games that were intended to work as advertised (whether as a control group or something else) all had something go wrong.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The idea of colonizing another planet is silly sci-fi nonsense. Neither Elon Musk nor any other billionaire is anywhere near being able to do such a thing in their lifetime. Hell, even the fictional one who claims to be trying to do this in Fallout, Mr. House, is just a lying narcissist who uses that claimed goal to hype himself up as some kind of god among men (along with his empty promise to distribute his life-lengthening tech).

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Yep even the harshest places you can imagine on Earth are still better than any planet we have the technology to get people to.

The top of mount everest is more conducive to human life than any part of mars

No one is leaving to live on Mars during our lifetimes. And the first people there are guaranteed to be workers, not billionaires.

They can stay on that planet with a worse climate than whatever we will have after climate change.

I wonder how many billionaires will just get couped by their security forces once society has collapsed to the point where they wouldn't expect consequences. Their advantages right now come from society as well as the complexity of organizations and social networks. Transitioning to self-sustaining life in bunkers eliminates the power the billionaires hold over the security forces, like what happened with Roman and Ottoman emperors at various points as they grew more dependent on their security to the point the security ended up holding the keys. Especially if they go out of their way up hire security that will do anything they say.

[–] Krono@lemmy.today 13 points 1 week ago

This is an open problem for advocates of the Dark Enlightenment theory (Wikipedia) like Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin.

One of the most commonly discussed solutions is to surgically implant explosive devices into the bodies of your lead security force.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Exactly. In dystopian fiction (Robocop: Prime Directives for example) corporations absolutely use the threat of removing all benefits and pensions to force their underlings to be compliant, as there is absolutely no social safety net.

Edit: In the Roman Empire the praetorian guard was responsible behind a fuckload of assassinations. If a Roman emperor didn't keep them happy they would remove him.

And for all the right wing shit about thr glory of the Roman Empire I need to mention thay around 60+% of Roman emperors died a violent death. It was an incredibly murderous society.

[–] TBi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Yep. “We can protect this guy and all his money and fancy food… or … kill him and share it amongst ourselves…”

[–] pez@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think the way to avoid being couped would be to make sure your security forces lived really really well before the collapse, and have everyone live as equals in the bunker. At least that way they'd have some loyalty to you. Problem is that requires sharing and we all know how much billionaires love to do that.

I can not wait for the wealthy to enter their tombs.

And they aren't even giant stone monstrosities so we dont have to deal with much tourism afterwards either.

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What always strikes me about the billionaire shelter with staff is how do they figure they're not going to get praetorian guarded like day two. There's literally no failsafe imaginable that does not end with you dead and/or tortured

When I was a kid I didn't think the chair trick worked on doors until I realized that you need to place the chair in a way that jams the handle from being able to rotate. It works only on doors (I think) that rotate both sides when you turn on.

It didn't change my life much to learn it other than give me some small satisfaction from knowing it wasn't some Hollywood myth.

[–] hereiamagain@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

It'll work on regular handles too if the height is right 🤔

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It absolutely works for handles that don't turn on each side. It's about the angle of the chair creating leverage. It works by redirecting the force of opening the door down the back of the chair and into the floor, creating a wedge. It also kinda relies on having a carpet or rubber mat to create friction otherwise the legs will slide if not braced as well.

It's a nice thought but this scenario will never happen. They probably have multiple hidden entrances and I expect they have plans to make the whole bunker area a dead zone with mines, radiation and drones/robot dogs. Anyone settling close to their bunker would probably be killed before they even came close to the mines and drones.

[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The whole bunker scenario is stupid either way. Those things won't run without a lot of workers, it's not like the rich can do anything by themselves. And since they're such total useless assholes, their reign in there can only last so long before someone gets fed up
