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

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
-
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.
-
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.

Don't compare it to advertisement, compare it to the medium that contains the advertisement.
Some TV is advertising. Some TV is the shows you wanted and got the thing for to begin with.
The goal isn't to eradicate the medium, it's to get rid of the ads, or at least limit them to a reasonable and regulated set of public service announcements.
The problem isn't your right to petition the government. It's that it's easy for a business to likewise petition them, and they can make it clear that people who support their policies often get seats on boards with nice perks later, when they're out of office.
You want to keep your right to petition. That's called lobbying. Outlawing lobbying is saying it should be illegal for you to try to get your representative to vote in a particular way.
And that's why Im an horizontalist. I dont believe we should channel our force into a beatling that enforce their will upon vast lands. Corruption is inevitable. We should rather strive for democratic confederations where we rule democratically in participation with our neighboring communities.
