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.

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.

McConnell used the filibuster to prevent legislation from passing in Congress. That doesn’t work on any of Trumps 100+ executive orders.
I’m not “putting anything on you.” I’m saying if you didn’t vote against fascism, then you enabled it. Simple as.
Yeah he used lots of other shit too, like flatly refusing to even hold confirmation hearings for supreme court justices, etc. There are many tools in that toolbox. I'd be content to see Democrats use even one or two, cause those little fucking signs ain't cutting it.
And I'm saying any vote that isn't in support of fascism is a vote against it, and I've already said I didn't vote for the fascists, so it kinda seems like you are.
None of those tools apply to an executive order. The literal only tool in the box for Congress is to force a 15-day vote. They did, and Republicans redefined the entire congressional calendar as a single day to avoid holding the vote.
That’s why they’ve been partnering with the ACLU to bring these cases to the courts.
Because the only attempted fascism has been in executive orders, right? Oh wait, last I heard Mitch McConnell was a member of congress and congress doesn't issue executive orders, do they? I bet there's a clue in there as to what I was actually talking about.
Bringing cases to court is absolutely a good and necessary thing and I have no complaints about their efforts in that department. My complaints have been about their complicity with and appeasement of the fascist program, and the fact that they have the gall to bitch about their constituents expecting them to do their job.
And, as they said, that's stupid and wrong to do, as it's not on them, dipshit
