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

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  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.

ID: 4 drawn examples of angry shouty people in 2 side by side columns "what they say" and "what they mean"

1 What they say: "A chicken Costs £2. Boil the bones and throw in some noodles and Sweetcorn and you can feed a family of four for a week. Easy."

What they mean: "I went into a LIDL once."

2 What they say: "A bag of pasta is 28p. A jar of Sauce is 67. It's not rocket Science for goodness Sake"

What they mean: "I have never heard of scurvy, ricketts, anaemia arthritis or vitamin deficiency"

3 What they say: "Pfft. You can easily feed a family by foraging for apples and Mushrooms"

What they mean: "If You Come anywhere near my estate my gamekeeper will shoot You in the face"

4 What they say: "Well if the parents were more fiscally responsible they wouldn't be in poverty in the First place"

What they mean: "I am a massive cunt"

I don’t understand. If you don’t like capitalism why can’t you just buy land and live off of that? Things people have said to me unironically before.

Cheap(-ish) supermarket chain with stores all over Europe, originally from German.

Judging by the currency plus the words and expressions used in it, the cartoon is from Britain, where there is a significant presence of that chain.

Oh, that's an "a"! The transcription helped as I was confused what "went into 2 LIDL" meant (I'm assuming it's a grocery store or something)

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

It is. Same people who run Aldi.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Nope. They're cutthroat competitors in Germany.

Oh I was thinking Trader Joe's.

We don't have Lidl or Trader Joe's where I am so I get them confused.

[–] Knuschberkeks@leminal.space 4 points 6 days ago

Not the same who run Aldi. Same concept, both from Germany but they are different companies.

Y'all about to get a crash course on cooking, eating and surviving.
