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.

Im not going to the fucking gym, sibling, not until there's a community lead free anarchist gym near me.

I train at home with cheap equipment. And I train for functional strength instead of appearances ; unlike the fascists I dont give a fuck how strong I look, actually I'd rather look weak to keep them overconfident.

I prefer to just go for hikes outside. You get good exercise and fresh air. I do have an elliptical at home though which I use when the weather isn't good enough to go hiking.

I fuckin did, an hour of swimming and my pecs are ready to swing a golf club at a nazi's teeth

I'm losing weight so it's less stress on my taxed joints to exercise well. Using an under the desk elliptical for some light exercise. I will then go to the range to train more.

No, gyms are capitalism honeypots for fitbros

I work out at home with body weight and everyday heavy objects.

Also yoga.

[–] vikingtons@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

a decently kitted home gym is surprisingly attainable if you can spare the space!

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And there's resistance bands, which if combined with a door anchor can replace weights for a fraction of the space and cost. A doorframe pull up bar would be the last piece of kit a home gym would really need when combined with the bands and calisthenics.

[–] vikingtons@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I use resistance bands as well. I'm not sure they'd be a replacement for my rack and all that but it's a great place to start

No. I injured myself doing BMX(ish) style street riding. Nothing too bad, but I will be off the bike and doing leg-only exercises for a week or two. I was also in a no riding zone, during graduation on a fairly capitalistic college campus, but hey, biking's not a crime (and even if it was, legality != morality)!

[–] godsammitdam@lemmy.zip 58 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is the better version. Don't need to go to a gym to exercise.

[–] A404@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

Thanks, I will add it to my meme folder

[–] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 4 points 2 days ago

A fascist practiced a skill today, did you?

[–] menas@lemmy.wtf 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is an individualist approach, a productivist one and a validist one. I see you point : people shall prepare But the next question is : to do what ?

If you want to prepare to run: run if you want to prepare to climb : climb if you want to prepare to fight : fight

This not an RPG, muscles could act counter-productively (it's weight more, and need more calories).

But most importantly, prepare to do it collectively. Some of us have the health and condition to prepare to do some of this, and may need to be recall that they have a responsibility to do so, because some of us don't. Futhermore in most situations it's better to be 3 people not well prepared than one fit. So take care of you community and make it grow

this reads like it was copy pasted from a translation app. What is a validist, productivist, individualist approach? its such a bizarre critique of a meme.

I fucked my Achilles tendon. Staying home and feeling miserable.

[–] FedX@quokk.au 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorry to hear that. I'm in a similar boat (and have been there many times before, and will be there many times after). Heal up and feel better!

[–] BurnedDonutHole@ani.social 2 points 21 hours ago

Thanks. Wish you a speedy recovery as well. Stay healthy.

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

Buy a pull up bar and elastic bands.

[–] BurnedDonutHole@ani.social 2 points 2 days ago

It's fresh and the painkillers make me feel like I'm drunk. Maybe after a week.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Skip the gym. Work on your garden. Doesn't matter how swole you are when the famine starts.

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 10 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Said the guy that got murdered over his garden during a famine by the most swolen beast of the neighborhood.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

That's what the garden ornaments are for!

[–] A404@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

That's what neighborhood militias are for.

I never skip leg day. My leg extension PR is 365 lbs. I want my quads to be so strong that fascists’ balls vaporize when I kick them.

Oh yeah, I've ate almost everyday since I was in the womb. Now, I eat at least 2000 calories every. single. day. A fascists balls would vaporize when I lick them.

gymbros? i assume because they often lean conservative asf.

[–] bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Because weak leftist’s soy boys don’t exercise.

Source: I’m a weak leftist spy boy that doesn’t exercise.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah because we all know capitalists rule the world because they are the best at punching.

That said you should still go to the gym (or otherwise exercise) because it is good for you and you are important :)

[–] Kasane_Teto@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 days ago (3 children)

does 16k steps and at home pilates count?

[–] paranoia@feddit.dk 19 points 3 days ago

pilates is no fucking joke, yes it counts

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

Everything you do to better yourself counts as bettering yourself
