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 have an uncle that was a police officer. When he got out of doing highway patrol, he was relieved, because that was the most dangerous job for police. I pictured high speed chases, drivers pulling weapons, catching wanted criminals... (I was approximately 10 at the time)
It turned out it's because walking on the side of a highway is insanely dangerous, and a driver obliviously hitting you sounds and looks almost the same as a driver responsibly passing by.
His state rolled out flashing lights that were better at grabbing attention, and that cut the total deaths for all police by something like 10%.
