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.

Why wish? Just do it. If you're renting, owning or renting to others, you're just perpetuating the system you're criticizing and have no moral high ground.

This is very, "you criticize society, yet you participate in society. Curious."

I don't rent to anyone so I have nothing to worry about ethically. Me participating in a broken system by renting is not relevant at all.

But if you're renting, you're enriching an evil landlord or an evil property management group, so you're contributing to the problem. There are more than enough hypocrites on here to unite and create a co-op, so why not just do that?

How is this even a real response?

So we're demonizing renters now in a thread about greedy landlords?

It's not hypocritical for someone who's against landlords to rent out of necessity. That's absurd.
