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.

I did not know and now I am slightly angry at humans. Again.
"Fuck them dolphins"
Slightly?
As the dominant species we should take better care of the world.
But, I guess shareholder value is more important.
Slightly?
We are monsters
That's what billionaires who are exploiting the planet and the people want you to believe. They want you to think you are the problem. But if that were true, you could also fix it. Can you? No. Can the billionaires? YES.
They are the fucking monsters! Leeching off of others and giving nothing back. Fucking parasites that need to die in order to save the planet. Humans can live in peace with nature and have been for eons, until capitalism took rise.
Those billionaires didn’t portal into this world from another reality. Pick any human at random, make them a billionaire, chances are you have another worst-of-the-worst.
I’d guess fewer than 1/3 of people are “good” (even after being educated). The rest are just dangerously intelligent animals.
Power corrupts. Our mistake is allowing power to be concentrated.
You all are happy enough to pay for this to happen with your consumption of fish
Food is not some luxury. People need to eat. If they don't eat fish they will eat something else.
You are implying that farming is more sustainable, but it's not. Over farming, over fishing, over anything is bad. And the only reason it happens is billionaire greed.
Stop blaming people who are barely making ends meet, living wage to wage and buying whatever food they can afford.
Most people can't afford to think about this kind of shit, but rich folk can.
Go kill a billionaire and make the world a better place for everyone.
We let the few dominate and exploit the many. Our relationship with nature is refelective of our relationship with ourself.
But the cultural focuson domination and exploitation is not biological. It's not in our nature. The potential to dominate is. But so is the potential of cooperation and mutual aid.
Let's try to rethink our society and behaviour to nature and each other and aim for the latter. For all our sake.

I'd argue that neither one stems from the other but that they are both manifestations of the same thing: our desire to dominate our environment to make our own lives (or the lives of those important to us) easier and/or safer.
Sweet
nice
Pls do not blame all of humanity for the actions of a few
I mean like 95% of us eat fish so 95% of us are partially to blame
I literally can't remember the last time I ate any fish whatsoever.
I eat ethically sourced fish.
The ones who are suicidal and don't feel pain I assume
IDK the many allow the few to do what they want, if we all really tried we could have this over in a week. It doesn't even take everyone too, only like 3.5% of a population is required to overthrow a government.
remember that guy who rams whalers with his ships front filled with concrete? he really wanted and he made a difference
I hate to break it to you, but nobody asked me what I wanted.
Defeating the government is the easy part. Building something new afterwards is where it gets difficult
Yeah, cuz then we know how to kill you too.
If you want to know more and increase that anger a notch, here's Ocean With David Attenborough showing the devastation of bottom trawling: https://youtu.be/IzG9AwlypaY
Thank you, now I hate humans even more.
