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.

But I figure maybe he had a rough childhood. I hope he's doing better these days, because he was doing better last time I saw him.

This...this is it right here.

My elementary school bully messaged me out of the blue on Facebook a couple years ago...apologizing for being such an asshole and explaining that he had a tough childhood and homelife then. He sincerely seemed sorry. His facebook at least painted the picture of someone with a happy young family who was really trying to break the cycle.

I...honestly didn't remember him even being one of the worst bullies. But I certainly appreciated him coming back, nearly 30 years later. That was really big of him.

And it made me realize that kids who are bullies aren't bad people. They are products of their environment. They treat others how they expect to be treated. It's reflective of parts of their life that you have no visibility to, and as another kid may not even understand. They want to be happy but don't know how...all they've learned is how to make other people unhappy, and that has to make-do.

That's a tough thing for some adults to comprehend and accept, let alone kids who are targeted by bullies.
