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.

Liberal. Adjective.

Favorable to progress or reform

That's literally Progressivism. Which ISN'T Liberalism.

Open-minded or tolerant

That's 1700s Classical Liberalism, when compared to the ultra-authoritarian norms of the time.

Modern Liberalism AKA Neoliberalism is an economic philosophy that is very much capitalist and authoritarian.

Conservative. Adjective.

Disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc

Correct

, or to restore traditional ones

Nope, that's regression. Easy mistake to make when everyone calling themselves conservative for the past half century have actually been regressive.

and to limit change.

Correct.

Also also, the word "neoliberal" is absolute syllable salad to me.

Bolded the significant part. The "neo" part is there for a reason, as described above.

It's like it's trying to pretend to be one thing, but is actually the polar opposite of it.

Nope. Neoliberalism is economically Liberal and can be socially progressive, neutral (most of the DNC) or conservative (most "moderate" Republicans)

It's a case of a movement naming itself without regard to ~~what the fuck~~ whether or not glitchdx understands what the word actually means and therefore it doesn't mean a damn thing to glitchdx

Fixed it for you.
