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.

In general I just get frustrated with the human slander. No. We're not all evil assholes. We're not stupid. We're a bunch of animals that managed to break out of the normal fight for survival primarily by working together. This all only works because we help each other most of the time. And stupid? Why? Because we don't all individually understand the massively complex world we've created for ourselves?
The bad people and things that happen are bad because they're exceptional. They break from the norm and aren't representative of the whole of the human experience. It really sucks that some psychos can take advantage of our behaviors to get us to do awful stuff, but the solution to that isn't "Woe is me, humans are just bad. Maybe we should all just go away." Are their victims bad? Do they not deserve to be saved because their oppressors are evil?
You can't really have any social progress before you recognize that "we can do this" and "we are worth it." Otherwise what would be the point?
We're basically monkey's with nukes.
I know right? Thats like saying all dogs are evil because police dogs attack protestors
