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

Rules


  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.

The thing that makes flock even worse is it's essentially private capitalist surveillance

You Go Gary!

Good fuckin kitty!!

[–] thagoat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 hours ago

Thank you, Gary!

Isn't it corporate surveillance?

[–] A404@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Corporations are the government

Fair point in the US at least, but I think this intense anti-government rhetoric since Reagan has been massively helpful for them gaining that power over the last half century. Better rhetoric would have focused on constraining power accumulation of any kind.

Both. But ultimately it's the government trying to circumvent our constitutional rights by having a private organization holding the data.

The Bill of Rights is pretty much a list of rude suggestions to the government now.

~~Ah, the comma... the devil's punctuation mark.~~

~~If you want me to say thank you to Gary, leave out the comma. "Say 'Thank you Gary' "~~

~~If you want Gary to say 'Thank you', leave it in. "Say 'Thank you', Gary"~~

Edit: ah, quotation marks... thenextguy's something or other. I clearly wasn't paying attention.

You misunderstand the intention. The request is for people to say:

thank you, gary

So it actually is correct.

Oh, and if you want to tell Gary to say "thank you", you could write:

Say "thank you", Gary

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

No. The comma is correct as is. The quotes surround what should be said to Gary. The comma after Gary is correct. However, there should be a comma after "say", I should read

 Say, "Thank you, Gary."

What? Am i high? Is this a joke? What's the purpose of the first comma? A colon maybe, but not a comma.

[–] capuccino@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

The comma is in the right place.
