ID: white text on a black background around a faded photo of a person with a black face scarf on and a hat that says "illegal" on it:

"But it's illegal"

"Saying that something is illegal is not an argument, it is an appeal to authority. Laws are arbitrary dictates to control a population, not universal standards of morality.

It's not an anarchist perspective, but I do love quoting David Henry Thoreau's essay on civil disobedience at the kinds of people who think that the law determines what is right. It's very useful for justifying a lot of the less radical activism to the moderates, helps with recruitment and all that too

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
