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.

"Cognitive dissonance" are the words you're looking for. They likely believe they are allies while thinking nothing of what the office jobs they do are tied to. Debbie, the office admin, is happily stocking paperclips and chatting while refilling break room supplies, and has no idea what her officemates actually do beyond "import computer work", but she has a niece that's kind of a tomboy so she wants to be supportive.

You have people like Debbie, and you have people who are acutely aware of absolutely everything they are doing end-to-end and know that PR shit like this actually sways opinion with the masses.

what if I told you the cognitive dissonance extends much further and into the people building the weapons

Everyone thinks they're an exception to the rule, the one "good guy"

I would rather dip my balls into a deep fryer than work for a weapons company.

I wouldn’t put it past LM to snatch a spot in a Pride Parade.

"You're gay, so you're going to represent the company at the gay pride parade."

"I'm not gay."

"Yes, you are."

"No, I'm not. I've got a wife, and three kids."

"You act gay."

"How do I 'act gay?' I'm just myself"

"That's the problem. Your 'self' is gay."

"WTF?That doesn't make sense, I'm not gay."

"Are you disparaging gays? Because I can get HR involved with this, if your going to start getting bigoted about gays."

"I'm not bigoted about gays, my brother is gay, I don't care, but I'M NOT GAY!"

"Yes, you are. Be in that parade, or you're fired."

No one loves money more than americans.

This would make more sense next month, especially for Americans. When every company says "hey we can put a rainbow behind our logo, look how progressive we are, buy our shit." And Apple releases a new Pride wallpaper (they actually just did so in 26.5).

None of these companies really support minorities, what they support is profit.

Picture just shows Lockheed-Martin just trying to show people they care. They don't.

People at just about every company (not, like, ICE and stuff) support LGBTQ+ rights. Not everyone but some people do. Carrying the flag of the company they work for is just fucking weird though.

Insane, mind-boggling, that good and bad things can coexist. If only they were holding a confederate flag so we could grandstand about it in a morally uncomplicated way.
