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.

I'm not directly affected by American politics. But it is interesting to see how it behaves. The Democrats seem to have an identity crisis, they appear to have expected to win because "who would vote for the orange guy?" mentality, but they showed their lack of vision by allowing Biden to run first then switching to Kamala when it didn't work out. In the meantime Trump was being a salesman/conman with bold proposals that would benefit the people, even if they weren't true (as it usual with politics).

The Democrats needed, from the start, a somewhat young, centrist and fierce candidate, that could chew Trump during debates, thus turning Republican voters, but the Democrat leadership is sadly lacking and not getting on with the times. I see news about the GOP and Turning point USA quite often, never good but very visible while from the Democrat side there is just silence, just waiting the Republicans to lose.

We've had too many centrists and the only time any centrist is "fierce" is when they're pitted against a progressive.
