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.

Gender is imaginary, people's gender/sexual identity is complex.
Consider Cartesian coordinate system such that the horizontal x-axis, called the real axis, is formed by the real numbers, and the vertical y-axis, called the imaginary axis, is formed by the imaginary numbers.
The complex plane allows for a geometric interpretation of complex numbers. Under addition, they add like vectors.
Its a public perception. I wouldn't say its "imaginary" any more than facial expressions or ethnic complexions.
"I don't look angry, because anger is imaginary" doesn't address why you're beat red with steam coming out your ears.
Geometry is a good tool for describing points relative to one another. "You look more/less than " is as valid an observation in terms of height or weight or degree of tan as gender. Also very easy to be wrong, because of your own biases and misconceptions.
But these are all things you can observe and report and evaluate from some objective framing.
