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

Rules


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

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  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.

People like this are so fucking weird. Like oh, you can't say a word? Wah, baby is so oppressed.

Black folks used to get lynched for looking at white women the wrong way (Edit: Now that I think about it, black folks got lynched if white women looked at them the wrong way). Even today, they get incarcerated for the dumbest shit.

People that think they're oppressed because they experience social pressure have no concept of what real oppression is like. They have to make bullshit like this up and call it oppression because even 1 day of being truly oppressed would induce suicide on their fragile ego.

If you want to say the word, stop living like a coward, say it, and accept the consequences for your actions.

It's like people who saw that Druski video and said "Oh, so blackface if okay now, too?" Yeah, I guess so. You should make a video on blackface right now and upload it if it's the same thing. Oh you did and lost your job? Maybe it's not then, and you should find out why instead of crying about it.

Its not that they don't understand. Its that they don't care. Everything is just scoring points for their grievances, justifying their bullshit. Their identity is the argument. Its a very online kind of shit head, even before there was online.

Because they base their entire worldview around hierarchy and arbitrary authority. It has nothing to do with facts or logic. Just being the one on top of the totem pole with the biggest stick to enforce their interpretation.

He was. And so was Sherman.

I don't argue with people John Brown would have shot.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I had no idea who Druski was before your comment. That shit is hilarious.

meanwhile here in realityland, a white woman yelled the n word at a Black boy and got at least one million dollars in crowdfunding for it…

This gig economy is getting weird.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 14 points 5 days ago

Hold up can I get in on this grift if I do this with a black friend and we split the money? Need to know for when we get desperate for money.

Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.

White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

Yelling at the guy with his boot on my neck that, actually, this makes him look really puny and ineffectual right now.

White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

Try calling them Tankies, next. See if that works.

Kyle Rittenhouse (white), loading up his gun and getting into his car, to drive 300 miles to pick a fight with Joseph Rosenbaum (white) and Anthony Huber (white), so he can turn himself into martry of black crime.

And I bet that's not the weirdest scenario he imagined

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Right? Like if a Black guy's robbing me, it's not because he's an [n-word], it's because he's an asshole. In other words, it's not because everyone who looks like him in one way (skin colour, ethnicity — plenty of Black people with no heritage tracing back to the African continent) is sub-human, it's because this. individual. person. is a shithead.

I actually have this experience. I was once jumped by two Black guys in high school (brothers, I think). I somehow pissed off a gang and this guy (actually a Hispanic guy) wanted me roughed up. Not killed, it wasn't that serious, but he wanted a message sent. Anyway, I never attributed the attack to their skin colour or their race. If it could be attributed to a broader group, it was the gang, which featured members who were Black and Hispanic and maybe even white or Asian.

I feel like this shouldn't have to be explained to rational people and I expect a lot of people here are like "no shit dude, you're preaching to the choir," I just also find it weird that people are like "fuck you and everyone else who looks like you." Makes no sense to me.

Oh... even better... I once got into a fight with a bully who happened to be Black in high school. Again, I didn't hate his whole race because he was a shitty person for whatever reason. We both punched each other, we both got suspended. Years later I see him at a job. He tries to talk to me, but I duck him. Those days, I was getting a ride to work, and walking home at night. So I'm walking home one night and he rolls up on me. He's got a nice car. Offers me a ride. I get in, he turns the music down. We talk about work. We don't talk about our past. He doesn't apologise. He's not interested in reconciliation. He knows who I am, but we silently, mutually agree, as men, that high school was high school and we're adults now. He asks if he can drop me off at home. I have him drop me off a couple streets over. He understands, doesn't take it personally. We shake hands, I thank him for the ride. We never became friends, but if he said hey to me at work, I didn't duck him. This was over 25 years ago. I have no idea where he is in life. I don't even recall his name. But I hope he's a grandfather and has a lot of happiness. I don't want to meet his kids or grandkids, or even see him again. But I figure maybe he had a rough childhood. I hope he's doing better these days, because he was doing better last time I saw him.

I look at people as individuals, the product of their combined education (not just school but like "every man is your teacher") and experience, not as part of their race, and I think that's how rational people look at it. I guess, anyway.

It's so easy, almost second nature to do it as far as race goes. Religion is harder. So is sex/gender. But if you can slow down and apply the same logic... I think a lot of things will fall into place. But that's a story for another time.

This...this is it right here.

My elementary school bully messaged me out of the blue on Facebook a couple years ago...apologizing for being such an asshole and explaining that he had a tough childhood and homelife then. He sincerely seemed sorry. His facebook at least painted the picture of someone with a happy young family who was really trying to break the cycle.

I...honestly didn't remember him even being one of the worst bullies. But I certainly appreciated him coming back, nearly 30 years later. That was really big of him.

And it made me realize that kids who are bullies aren't bad people. They are products of their environment. They treat others how they expect to be treated. It's reflective of parts of their life that you have no visibility to, and as another kid may not even understand. They want to be happy but don't know how...all they've learned is how to make other people unhappy, and that has to make-do.

That's a tough thing for some adults to comprehend and accept, let alone kids who are targeted by bullies.

Lmao, you could also just… not instinctively call people slurs during a confrontation? Like, so many other expletives you could use?

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 days ago

The closest they were to creativity is when they covered the outhouse with two cans of lead paint branded Shawshank Gray. This and ever evolving reasons to feel pity about themselves.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That lad ripping him a new one has a YouTube channel (@off_jawaggon) that is pretty good. He got in a beef with a fucked up right wing lady before that was hilarious in it's evisceration.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I looked up the channel and the first thing that came up is an apology video and more videos of allegations he SA multiple women?...

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I did see his apology video so did some digging on it. There was no actual assault as I understood it. They were both getting handsy (initiated by her) and she felt uncomfortable later which was what he was apologising for is my understanding.

Edit: I just see you're saying multiple. Perhaps I should have dug deeper

Edit 2: I think the other "allegation" in the title video is a legal threat from the right winger he went to town on. Not SA. Open to correction.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

I guess he issued the apology mainly since he's married now that I watched it.

I was cautious because someone who goes against the right would likely be targeted by the right, but likewise a lot of people in that field that he's in tend to turn out to be problematic as well. So I'm always just cautious in general with they field

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah I think you're dead right to be cautious. I would be too generally.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Pathetic really
