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.

How is pledging allegiance to any flag based? Especially not this one
Yeah it's literally rainbow-washed US imperialism and that's enough for people to be like, "oh sweet, nationalism!"
I'm more like this.
What is this flag? I'm not familiar?
American stripes is a major stain on this.
Could be Cuba, USA are not the only one with those stripes
Cuba has blue stripes on theirs.
Could be Ohio
Well can't be USA, only 9 stripes, USA has 15
15?
Wait, was it 13? I only remember the stripes represent the first founding states and the 50 represents all of the states
I dunno, I ain't American
yeah. 13. i thought this was a reference i didn't understand haha. it's one stripe for each colony of the original articles of confederation
No flag that i can remember or find has 5 red/4 white.
That's clearly meant to be USA stripes (malaysia, liberia less likely in context) just they didn't check how many stripes.
Anyone know what stars the top left corner of the nato compass star represent?
Top right is EU, bottom right is aus/nz, bottom left korea, taiwan and i presume japan? Extra chevrons are for ukraine and hongkong.
Incidentally the southern cross, used here to represent the white bastions in asia is often used as a nationalist icon in australia. It's popularity as a tattoo for the far right have earned it the nickname: the aussie swazi (ozi swozi) since it's like an australian swastika.
Duly noted, thanks for saying so. I didn't know that.
This needs to be salted, burnt, and desecrated
If you show this flag to a russian child they will be traumatized for life
Ideally, scrutinizing a flag to make sure it's free of symbolism you object to shouldn't take longer than pledging allegiance to it.
Ideally you would never fucking do that because the smartest flag I ever saw could barely run DOOM
is that the Pepsi logo orbiting the NATO star? ๐คฃ
EDIT: I have been informed it is part of the South Korean flag.
Yes, and the red circle is for Coca-Cola
(Actually it's for South Korea)
my edit beat you by like two seconds ๐
cringe.
the only people who make an ideology this much their personality are conservatoids with their trump brand socks and underwear and steaks and watches and phone and framed holographic print of a signed portrait of Trump hanging higher on their wall than the cross they pretend to carry.
Yeah i presume that posting a flag for liberal bootlickers in an anarchist shitposting community was meant to highlight the cringe.
Pledging allegiance to any flag is total bootlicker behaviour. And while this flag centers queer and minority representation, it also includes all the nations that comprise the american empire.
Pledging allegiance to any flag is total bootlicker behaviour.
There's an exception, this flag:
It sounds like you already made trump a bigger part of your personality than trump voters do.
