Flippanarchy
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.
Join the matrix room for some real-time discussion.

You are sullied if you vote for the establishment candidate, perpetuating the current status quo. You are sullied if you don't vote against the fascist. Choisir entre la peste et le choléra, as I said above.
You didn't read my comments properly. If you had, you would have gathered I voted for neither Biden or Trump, as I am not American. In any case, I haven't voted in anything other than a local election in two decades, which once again, wouldn't surprise you, if you had read my comments.
It's a poor analogy, but maybe I can rescue it.
If you can save someone from being beaten and perhaps murdered, you should arguably do that. But if always stepping in, results in the abused never leaving their abuser and being murdered when you're not able to save them, you have arguably enabled poor behaviour and done more harm than good.
There is no good or moral choice. As I said a few comments above, there are no easy answers.
I made no progress in my position. As mentioned above, I haven't voted in a national election in twenty years.
I am simply reiterating my comments from above, in the hopes you will finally understand them. I'm at least glad you've finally caught on I'm not telling you to vote for the lesser evil, the rest not so much, but oh well.
Let's leave it there. This conversation wasn't productive, that won't change.
Back to that again. Didn't happen.
In fact, I compared the choice between voting and not voting, to a choice between plague and cholera.
You can't spell mathematics... I don't think I'll be attending your statistics lecture.
If you tried to fight your way out of a cardboard box, you'd probably end arguing with the instruction manual. Don't think we need your help fighting international fascism.
