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.

With a constitution that's can't be modified without a referendum
By fighting corruption instead of building a society on top of it
Bruh, the last time my country's constitution got changed was through a referendum that made gay marriage impossible.
Which country? was the referendum fair or rigged?
There's a precondition for a democracy to work which is a fair voting process, this includes free and non monopolized access to information. I don't think it's hard to write a constitution that is not fixed and that still grant essential rights to people.
Croatia. Completely fair, the referendum was the hottest topic in all media for weeks if not months and absolutely everyone who had an opinion on the matter could vote. Do you actually think most people out there aren't still homophobic as hell?
I don't know much about croatia but i'm sure mass media are rigged there just like in any other european country
What does it even mean that "media is rigged"?
that a bunch of people with ties to the government or political parties owns them all
Eh, I'd never use the word "rigged" for that meaning, nor am I 100% sure what that has to do with the outcome of the referendum - I don't remember hearing much support for the referendum in mainstream media, if you're assumimg they promoted it. The promotion went through other channels, primarily conservative activist orgs and the Church.
Regarding the political ties, the situation was more complex - the govt has almost direct control over one major media institution, while the rest of the media landscape is fragmented, private, with two of the three biggest TV channels being owned by foreigners. Still, you might wish to believe in some control the govt might have had over the media - but the govt at the time was nominally left-wing and the referendum went against their goals. They evidently didn't or couldn't influence the people through media enough. It was a massive embarrassment and symbolic defeat of them when the referendum passed.
I don't know what other sort of scenario you can now come up with to explain away the reality of widespread homophobia outside of your urban 1st world / internet bubble. It's all just utopistic imagination with no substance, and I have to admit it makes me pessimistic.
But how? How do you enforce the fight against corruption without a system which itself is vulnerable to corruption?
You don't have to enforce it, you should not promote it and not making rolemodels out of corrupted people. Have you ever heard of kids being teach in school that corruption is bad? Me personally never
You were never taught that corruption is bad? I was. I was also told not to lie, cheat, steal, harm others, etc. I think most people were, and yet we still have crime. D.A.R.E. told entire generations of kids that drugs are bad, and yet people still use drugs.
How do you prevent people from promoting corruption and making role models of the corrupt? That requires some method of enforcement, otherwise you might as well be wishing on a star.
I personally don't recall being taught about corruption specifically. I was teach about being a good boy in elementary school but after that i don't recall any class about how to be kind and good.
People are taught that drugs are bad but not much is explained about the underlying problems that make people do drugs, such as trying to cope with high competitive standards since childhood.
We live in a corrupted society, i think the starting point would be to fix education (which is already "enforced") in such a way that it doesn't promote corruption of any sort
