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.

voting
is not
harm reduction
You can believe that but that doesn't change facts. Trump's disastrous climate change policy alone will result in 1.3 million additional deaths. Feel free to explain your harm reduction theories to them. Seems silly to think we'd be in the same level of climate catastrophe if Gore had more votes in 2000.
Also nowhere in my comment did I say voting is the only or even best method of harm reduction, let alone a surefire strategy to fix our fucked up situation. My point is that complaining about what neolib ghoul the DNC leadership will trot out is a pointless exercise. If you think voting strategy is worth a conversation then approach it realistically.
harm reduction has a specific meaning, and voting does not qualify.
It has a historical meaning (Harm Reduction: defiant acts of care and resistance) and a literal meaning (harm reduction: tactics to mitigate tangible damage from oppressive systems). You're just arguing pedantics unless you're pretending my meaning isn't obvious from the context of the conversation.
voting doesn't do either of those
if it did, them how could Trump's policies be causing harm?
If "did not vote" was a candidate they would have won 23/24 presidential elections since 1932. How's that working out for us?
it seems like you understand that voting isn't harm reduction, and now you're moving on to something else. your syntax is hard to grok, so just... have a nice day.
