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.

this is the kind of thing that happens when the white washing of a hate symbol goes far enough. there are absolutely southerners who believe the lie that the stars and bars represent southern identity in general and not just racial hate. so then, they get it in their head that they need a symbol for gay southern identity and so they combine two things. to those of us in the know about why the daughters of the confederacy exist, and why they started putting up the stars and bars everywhere during the jim crow and segregation era, it looks completely ridiculous
I am pretty sure this was made as a joke.
(at least i hope so)
i'm telling you right now as a southerner that people fly these in earnest
I thought we were talking about the fursuit
I see you've never been to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina......
In all honesty South Carolinians will slap the stars and bars on anything. A lot of them were sincerely taught that the Confederacy was about states rights and cultural values. If you beg them the question of "a state's right to do what?" You will get two different answers.
If they didn't go to college they will become angry and say whatever they wanted. If they have gone to college they will give you an actual answer, my favorite being a conspiracy theory over the route of the transcontinental railroad.
I'd totally fuck with that last one. Anything to get people enthusiastic about trains. Part of why I'm stoked for dying in a death camp; if they build a rail spur to my apartment they don't even have to raid me, I'll just show up.
There is a kind of white supremacy that says that The West is inclusive and therefore further developed. These people will defend Israel even tho it didn't even legalize same sex marriage
Its beautiful.
My south is rising again
i've known too many racist gays this is not cool
Gonna get absolutely Banged by the north
Does he look E. Lee cute?
