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.

My wife has been laughing at this campaign for a whole year. Never ask authoritarians for consent. Mirror your games, kill your oppressors.
Well what else should we do?
Raid the company headquarters that have the server code?
Mirroring doesn't work when you aren't given the data. This isn't something piracy alone can fix. It's not a matter of what you aren't allowed to do - it's a problem of what publishers shouldn't be allowed to do.
Stop using tyrannical diction.
Publishers are capitalists.
Capitalists want your rent for copies of a game.
Studios choose to behold themselves to capitalists, or freely publish.
Read more theory.
Calling digital copy-pasting piracy is akin to calling breathing displacing the air, data centers be damned.
the tyrants🧵 want me to compensate them for being the ❝first person❞ to count upto a number that makes their stupid FAMICOM run ❝just the way they like it❞
everyone else be damned!
I published a FOSS NES game that opens with the Yuzu logo and "Never give Nintendo money."
Piracy is still a thing. I'm not playing stupid word games. Even open-source games can be pirated, if they're only free as in speech.
Piracy is a real thing, if you praxis property.
I am not physically robbing your FOSS NES game if I make a digital copy I share with comrades.
Then what is press to you?
That's why piracy isn't theft, not why piracy isn't... piracy. It's illicit copying as a failure to reward labor. I am personally responsible for nearly every byte in the games I've made. Taking that without permission is not expressing anything besides "yoink."
"Free as in speech" is perpendicular to "free as in beer." Libre versus gratis. This is central to the free software movement. Irfanview is proprietary freeware. Doom II is commercial FOSS.
Under what jurisdiction?
You are responsible for numbers‽
Whose permission?
So a journalist writing a story about your FOSS NES game would cost you?
Respectively: failure of object permanence, total fucking nonsense, non sequitur, and making shit up.
Shoo.
You're telling on your own tyranny.
Freedom of pressers desire the absolute liberation of press. If your FOSS NES is in the Torah, or can be extracted from it from simple indexical logic, is your FOSS NES really laboured?
I can see you requesting compensation for labor made into formatting the Torah into a NES format for a game. But numbers do not belong to you, or should they.
Giving away my own artwork is tyranny, says someone very serious about word use.
And drug use.
Like people writing all your precious literature weren't doing labor, because they didn't invent the letters.
Sharing your art, or keeping it yours only is your choice indeed. But numbers are not art, and your desire to monopolize who gets to copy numbers or not demonstrates your desire to privatize numbers: which is tyranny.
You can request compensation for writing indeed, but you have to ask yourself if you are willing to censor others’ press to copy your writings. At what point are you willing to use violence to maintain that monopoly?
Publishers have already chosen to use the states to sue to slavery for those rents.
Digital art doesn't count unless I own the number 7, apparently.
Letters are not art, therefore, no work of art has ever been written.
Fuck off.
just ignore that person lol
You can digitize your art indeed, but the corresponding number it ends becoming, doesn't belong to you, or your demand to monopolize its usage.
Letters are art, as scripts and calligraphy are. Demanding compensation under no jurisdiction than your own is tyranny.
Enjoy your slavery, prole.
Just don't buy killable games. I learnt that one the hard way. Never again.
I’m camp: “let's liberate our games” anarchism.
Much liberation needs happening.🤝
