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.

I would rather live in a world where large numbers of people didn't feel like this, but here we are. So I shall laugh when someone kills one of those bastards.
If we solved poverty, and I don't care too much who pays for it, then I would probably be quite happy to let them keep their riches. But there are still billions that don't have enough.
If dragons weren't big and avaricious and fire breathing and tyrranical and invasive and murderous, I wouldn't mind living in the same building as one.
If vampires weren't dead and didn't have that blood thing and weren't predatory and could be out in the daytime and could guck with garlic and churches and didn't do all kinds of weird magic shit, they would be perfectly lovely people.
But that's the root of the problem, 99$ of all billionaires are sociopaths that will never have enough, always needing more; and capitalism is built on extraction of wealth.
There are billions who don't have enough, because the filthy rich are incapable of ever having enough.
One of the many shitty parts of capitalism is that if your CEO doesn’t come up with as many shitty ways to turn an already successful company that’s already saturated its market into one that makes more money this year than it did last year, the shareholders (always Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street, JPMorgan and a few others who all own each other as well) will fire them and appoint a psychopath who will.
Yep, and because of their greed at the expense of others I shall cheer their deaths.
