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.

Maybe, but have you considered self delusion? Because you see if you use that you can become anything you want!
Only with Capitalism™!
Self delusion probably fits better since Stockholm Syndrome is most likely just bullshit code for, "the victim gained empathy for a person's terrible situation"
If I remember correctly, but don't quote me on this one, the OG Stockholmers after whoom the syndrome was named had this thing not so much because they had empathy for the bank robbers, as much as they had disempathy to the police because they were so utterly incompetent at their job
Eh, self delusion to weaken the blow of understanding you're stuck in a system that gas lights you into thinking you're just a temporarily embarrassed capitalist and not cattle is a mental defence mechanism.
There are still people who defend billionaires though, they might have Stockholm syndrome, or could just be really fucking stupid
I was born to really fucking stupid. Even love can't talk past Stockholm Syndrome in that dimension.
You can be fearless of even religious rhetoric garbage death and still be interrupted, insulted, and told that money matters with a sigil on not-paper showing you 9/11 like back to the future, chastized, suspended, and charmed with a statement of love despite stockholders syndrom basically nullifying the cognitive ability to do exactly that properly.
Because tone matters and Marauder Traditionless Mages who link to death are scary. Even though they're here to bring you "horror" Strange Aeons where even Death May Die.
Just look at that coast north of England and see Cthulhu's claw mark.
Being hip deep in simulacra is the only way.
