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

  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

Decided to have a go myself:
The transgender flag with a black triangle taking up the other half of the diagonal and a circled A in the middle of the black.

Or a vertical one:
Vertical transgender flag with a black triangle containing a circled A at the top part pointing down.

And a NB one:
The nonbinary flag with a Square containing the circled A rising from middle of the last stripe.

Ok. I think I'm done.

I'm curious, if you put the trans lines in the diagonal between the red/black. would it look neater?

like you flag, just wondering

only way to know would be try it (wait a second)

done: definitely kinda neater

looks cool, hope whatever design you choose gets printed into a flag .

We suggest making the trans flag diagonal and putting it in top left, replacing the red.

[–] Kasane_Teto@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Uuuhhh I like the 2nd one!

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago

Yes! Those are both perfect ioo.

[–] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 days ago

There's a little too much going on, I think.

Missed opportunity to make the cat the trans colors

[–] Kasane_Teto@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

let’s see,

I tried, atleast it still looks good with my shitty Ibis Paint skills :3

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Not to transvestigate a cat, but it's safe to assume that cat is trans.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

What if:

Keep kitty black, background red... but...

Make the circle for the kitty have the trans color pattern, as a ribbon, circular.

Or, maybe do that with the kitty itself, give it an edge/border type thing that's the trans colors?

Subsequent to that: that last idea won't work well because the cat is simply too detailed, complex.

So... maybe make a simplified, vector version of angry kitty?

Maybe stylize it a bit?

Also, we have all the various 'A in circle' designs from... all of history, and probably your nearest grafitti'd wall, that could be used as another element, in whatever color/pattern, to balance the kitty.

You've also got simply a 5 pointed star, usually red, ala the Zapatistas.

Or, go visit Mahkno and his merry band of absolutely pristine gentlemen, and you'll maybe notice a skull and cross bones, and the slogan 'Death to all who stand in the way of freedom for the working people!'

You also possibly have the color patterning from Makhno, the CNT FAI, Zapatistas,.etc.


Zapatista Flag:

Makhno:

[solid black]

apparently a modern slava ukrainia take on the mahkno flag:

CNT FAI:

(whoo boy if that ain't the most 1930s font I've ever seen)

Regional Defense Council of Aragon:

(try and tell me that at least the purple, if not other style elements here, don't work with trying to fuse Anarchy and Trans Rights)


Out of historical flags, onto some other concepts, such as...

'How to make a Libertarian immediately fear for their life and stand their ground':

'AnarchoKitties':

'This one apparently triggered Stormfront so hard they have a thread whining about an Anarchist using this one':

Interesting crest/circular encapsulation concepts:

(maybe make the roses on the right red, keep up the vertical symmetry coloring?)

And finally... apparently the emblem of the 'Trans Anarcho Cat Girls':


PS: Don't forget that flag dimensions and actual shapes of the actual flag itself are mere suggestions, not actual rules.

This is way too out my skill level swwy 😭

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago

Ah hey, no problem!

Just trying to throw out a whole bunch of examples that anybody could potentially grab some inspiration from, any part or parts from em.

[–] 5ibelius9insterberg@feddit.org 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How about turning the Red to Pink, the black to blue and add a white stripe in the middle?

love the colours, bit the cat's details get lost due to the lack of contrast in pastel colours. not sure how to solve it besides making a more stylised and simplified cat.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago

You bring either the red or the black or both back as outlines/borders to the existing elements.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago

You could also leave the black black, as you now have all three trans colors in the design.

Half pastel, half high contrast, maybe throw in the circled A of some kind to give a highlight to the black, balance the whole thing?

Or, you can as I elsewhere suggested, make the circle of the kitty be a trans colors ribbon, keeping it in black, or do the reverse, pastel kitty, red and black circle... lots of possibilities.
