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.

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.
Join the matrix room for some real-time discussion.

These two things are the same 
They recognize human artists would refuse to make it but don't bother to ask why that is. Pretty normal for AI enthusiasts.
I think Renee would slap Ashli in the afterlife. Seriously!
Far centrists(?)
radical center-leaning inactivists
That's some glorious trolling. 🔥
Is this centrist you speak of with us in the room right now?
That isn't centrist, that's just dumb
I can also have AI make a picture of a mural of Hitler with a bunch off Jewish people and call it centrism, but that too is just dumb
Centrism, Dumb, what's the difference? As far as I can tell centrism is just the political position of saying "I don't know what the difference between any of you are, and I refuse to learn and develop an opinion"
And then they say things like "they're all as bad as each other" and refuse to vote.
For people who forgot which one Ashli Babbit was:
On January 6, 2021, Ashli Babbitt was fatally shot during the attack on the United States Capitol. She was part of a mob of supporters of then-outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump who stormed the United States Capitol seeking to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election. At the time of her killing, Babbitt was a 35-year-old United States Air Force veteran and a supporter of QAnon, a far-right conspiracy theory.
It's hard if not impossible to have a more justified killing; she was trying to get into the part of the capital where the lawmakers were hiding. Officer held the line and did what they needed to do to protect themselves, lawmakers, and democracy.
If one had gotten through, more people would have gotten through and a lot more people would have been hurt.
It’s unfortunate she died, and I believe that most of the people there were rubes that only really intended to shit on desks and piss in each other’s mouths, but mobs go nuts.
Look at the case of Marina Abramovic… she did a performance piece where people could do whatever they want to her and she would just stand there. It started out innocently enough by the end she was cut up and someone had pointed a gun to her head.
Anyway, point is, even if you believe people didn’t intend to hurt other people, these things change when mobs realize there will be no repercussions for their actions.
Holding the line was the right thing to do.
This is what AI is good for, something so fucking dumb it actually causes physical damage to your brain. Like for real we could put people under an MRI scan and we could see the brain being damaged in real time.
I've read somewhere you can't actually directly feel the damage to your brain because it doesn't have pain receptors on the inside. That picture just proved it wrong.
Driving a car is the EXACT same as Trying to Murder Members of Congress!
-Americans!
Eh, the members of Congress deserve to hang.
Babbitt's crime wasn't her trying to attack our Imperialist overlords rather that she was doing so in order to enable a fascist regime to take their place. That is the part people should be focusing on. Not the methods but the reasoning they engaged in them.
If we are going to lambast her, we need to do it properly. Because there will come a day when it is us who have to storm the capitol to depose these fascist fucks ourselves.
The key difference is what you do when you get in there. Mostly all she wanted to do was attack people and if that couldn't be achieved then vandalised stuff.
This reasoning is shortsighted. You stop at their actions instead of trying to understand the intent behind why they engaged in those actions.
They did not simply "want to attack and vandalize". Vandalism and Violence are a means, not an end. They sought to engage in those means for a purpose.
There is nothing inherently wrong with engaging in these actions themselves. It is what one is trying to accomplish by doing so that is called into question.
If those people had been there to overthrow our capitalist overlords and instill a socialist regime, then I would have 100% supported their actions. Yet, they weren't; the reason they did so is to bring about a fascist regime. That's why what Babbitt did was appalling. That is the key difference.
I don't like when cops kill people, I think they should always be investigated by a third party when someone dies. But also, when a cop is pointing a gun at you and says don't come closer, continuing to cross the barricade they set up to keep you out is tantamount to suicide. The cops had a duty to protect congress and lethal force was reasonable in that scenario
"Everybody tells me not to do this, because it would make me a revolting asshole of epic proportions. I can't get anybody to do this for me, because none of them wants to be revolting assholes of epic proportions. Oh, I know! LLMs - they were made for this!"
I wonder what the people in that building feels about what this'll do to the desirability of living there and the predictable impact on property prices. "So... How much are you willing to pay me for moving into something with that slapped on the side of it? I'm afraid I can't go lower than $300K."
We're reaching critical levels of shitlib with this one 🔥
