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.

Sure but very notably not a warlord in that position. There's so many better options.
The Secretary of State is the 'outside' representative of the US. It heads the diplomatic arm of the state and is an architect of their authority globally. The role holds considerable sway over their military and quasi-military positioning. Next to that she was also a senator and on the 'armed forces committee' before that role. She supported the "Afghanistan surge" of the military, and NATO in Libya in 2011. She is recognised as being a war hawk which means favoring military intervention. She is a warlord but not in the "beret and uniform" kind.
Cringe
Are you talking about the Hillary Clinton of THIS reality? Hillary Rodham "we came, we saw, he died" Clinton?
Warlord, noun: a military commander who exercises absolute political, social, and economic control over a region.
Personally I'd call her a moderately inept neoliberal bureaucrat who's never ever broken a nail in anger much less commanded troops but hey maybe you think she's more impressive.
At least Bubba was commander in chief, jeez.
In what way is "being a warlord" impressive??
There's very little difference between a warlord and a pencil pusher, if the right pencil is being pushed. The average democratic politician might as well be screaming "Blood for the blood god and skulls for the skull throne!" in terms of the actual effects of their policies. The only difference is aesthetics and demeanor. You don't get to act like you're not a bloodthirsty psychopath just because you've beurocratized the orphan-crushing machine to the point that all you have to do to crush orphans is to sign a piece of paper.
And it would frankly be less detestable if they were that honest about it, in stead of hiding their blood thirst behind a veneer of civility so thick they make it the bulk of their public fucking persona!
Yes and no. We have a version of Democrats that do go around literally screaming about skulls for the skull throne, they're called Republicans and they're just as detestable.
Cringe
Excellent rebuttal, exactly the level of discourse I expect.
Also cringe
Truly, a titan of intellect.
Hilary, the butcher of Libia, Clinton isn't a warlord?
No, also lmao that you think she's even capable of the job.
