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 [email protected]

Rules


  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.

Also remember, things are newsworthy because they're novel. US sees like 2 gun deaths per day and thousands due to insurance company malpractice, but this one death dominates newscycles.

If I knew who he was, I wouldn't tell a god damn soul.

You just need the balls. It’s not a technically difficult feat if you plan well.

Most Americans are used to guns and many have served and be trained. I think I could do something like this and get away and I’ve never been around guns. If I was at a point where I wanted to do something like this then I would just plan meticulously. Anger can be a great motivator.

You also have to have the technical know-how and acumen to understand that your phone is a tracking device. Leave it at home. Your car also likely has a tracking device on it because car companies are selling that data. There are license plate cameras everywhere too, even if you drive a 90s beater. Also bullet ballistics is not a perfect science. You can also rebarrel your gun. You also want to have all this done years in advance so that when you decide you have a target, your purchases are hidden among a cloud of other things. If the gun isn't yours, wipe it down and ditch it. Don't leave fingerprints on the bullet casings. If they can't place it in your hands at the time of the crime, then that leaves a reasonable doubt.

As one user wrote on Bluesky, “The reward out for the person who shot United Healthcare’s CEO isn’t even enough to cover 1/9 of the bill we got for 28 days of radiation.”

The antidote to crowdsourcing identification is mass surveillance. Nobody wants that.

but this one death dominates newscycles.

Step 1: be white

Step 2: be rich, or a young, attractive female

Step 3: dominate

Idk man, I'm pretty sure it looks like Hunter Biden. Guess he's been pardoned

No idea ...

Cool backpack.

In the other pictures with his face he was wearing a jacket with two prominent chest pockets. If I were going to change jackets I would definitely change the color.

They can't all go looking, they've got homeless people to harass.

Seems to be a white male, age 20 - 48, 150 - 220 lbs, somewhere between 5"4' and 6'2. Best I can do.

Really? I was sure it was an Asian woman, last I've heard

Anyone thought about inundating the tip lines with useless tips to help our hero?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Be sure to only submit one tip per phone number / IP address and take real numbers (Address, phone number, etc) then fudge them a little, it makes it much harder to filter out (my job used to be filtering tips like this). Area code needs to match tip area, for example.

Super easy to filter, doesn't do anything

I personally love when the world's largest police force has to crowdsource their job

Bitch you mean appeal for witnesses.
