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.

There's a man standing on a cliff, and a man hanging off another cliff by his hands, would you consider the man on the cliff to have an advantage, or the man hanging to have a disadvantage?
I can see it, you tell someone whos also living paycheck to paycheck that just because they're not queer they are "privileged", they're gonna be like, "no, im not".
We need better terminology, sticking with this one is just self serving and kind of narcissistic, don't create culture war, this still boils down to class war
This is... so not just a class war, though. It's intersectional, everything is linked to everything else, class, racism, sexism, homophobia, everything! And sugarcoating the truth just leads to the same thing, over and over and over again.
No, semantics aren't the issue here, the issue is that nobody's explaining anything anymore. Everyone just expects to have their meaning understood through five words or less, then starts arguing semantics without analysing the context.
It is a privilege to be a white male. And, yes, as long as you're not part of the 1%, you're getting shafted regardless. The two are most certainly not mutually exclusive, the privilege being that white guys get less shaft.
Semantics are everything, if you want people on your side you need to start by not using alienating terminology
No concern trolling. There's nothing wrong with the terminology.
Spoken like a true keyboard warrior
How about none of the above, how about focusing on the bastards who actually put these racist systems in place instead of focusing on any nomenclature that's literally only point is "make white cis man feel bad for being white cis man"
You're literally drawing a line in the sand and saying "this doesn't mean anything, but also you're not allowed on this side of the line" while rich ass hats build a brick wall around both parties.
You sir, are propagating a culture war, and this infighting isn't going to be tolerated much when we rise up against the rich people stepping on their common man.
I suggest you get with the times or get run over.
