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.

Oh yeah jail, not murder— such a good thing.

You are clearly not a queer person and are just focused on defending Islam, because any queer person would know that not being able to live your life without fear winds up equating to death anyway. What do you think happens when gay men cant exist in public the way straight people can, and can't have relations with the people they love without fearing persecution from the state and being jailed?

Discrimination leads to death and gay men have the highest rates of suicide due to said discrimination.

Go over on equaldex and search any Muslim country there to see how abysmal it performs. Though I doubt you care about queer people's lives, you're likely just on a mission to show Islam in a good light.

Furthermore, extrajudiciary killings are a thing that occur in many Muslim countries even if it is not a state law. By not protecting queer people against hate crime and discrimination these states indirectly allow for mob justice and for people to get away with lynching gay men, even if it is not done by the state itself, directly.

The lack of protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in Muslim countries is easily verifiable. And it is this lack of protection that leads to us being killed.

From the torah would you say the same about jews or you know you can get away with islamophobia but not antisemetism

I am fully aware. This is a problem of all abrahamic religions. Islam, Christianity, Judaism— none of them are queer affirming. I don't shy away from criticizing any religion.

This is not an Islam-exclusive issue, though it is most persistent in Muslim countries today as there are many christian nations that have progressed and removed these backwards laws, whereas there are no Muslim countries that have legalized homosexuality or gay marriage.

Shame on you for your blatant homophobia and downplaying how muslims treat gay men.

I never said jail is good, idiot. Stop selectively reading what I said. You are an dirty islamophobe. Your original claim was about killing not jail and discrimination

If you were able to read, homophobe, you would know why and how jail and discrimination = killing you illiterate nincompoop.

I never justified antthing you islamophobic piece of trash . Your claimed that most arab countries will kill you for being from the lgbt community, I gave you the source saying it is not thr case and told you to talk about descrimination and jail time not murder. Your xenophobic claim is to advocate people to not visit any of those countries because they are murderous countries

You sure did you homophobic piece of trash. Learn to read, I gave you sources too but I guess you couldn't read them. I didn't make any such claim; but yes, if you're gay or queer, the Muslim world is not a safe space for you and will get you killed in one way or another. I gave you the reasoning on how jailing + discrimination leads to death even in the off-chance they aren't killed by the state (which isn't even the primary way it happens, it's extrajudiciary killings and the lack of state protections that causes it mostly). You're a homophobe that doesn't care about queer people, only defending Islam because you're a religious zealot.

Tell me where I said it was ok to jail or beat up the lgbt community? You lying about facts make you an islamophobic piece of trash. Just admit thst most arab countries have descriminatory laws and can jail people but do not lie about thr number of arab countries who kill lgbt people.

You said they didn't "kill" them. This is how I know you aren't reading.

Because the jailing and the discrimination leads to death, and the extrajudiciary killings under a lack of legal protections, is quite literally killing.

I have said this multiple times now, but you don't seem to get it.
