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.

Assuming you haven't frantically gone and un-downvoted a mass of posts in tankiejerk recently, you absolutely do.
Use the... downvote button? Yes, I don't know that I've ever denying using the downvote button, as a matter of general use?
And it... benefits me?
Beg pardon? lmao

I like dunking on Tankies, check my profile.
If I provide a citation, will you eat your words, or provide another mealy-mouthed evasion?
All I see is 'liberals bad!' dreck of the usual sort on your profile.
Past two pages, lots of bitching about liberals (some of it justified), no bitching about tankies. But yeah, you love dunking on tankies, apparently.
I am a man of my word. I will abide by it. I have downvoted you before but I don't stalk your profile to downvote it randomly. I don't downvote tankiejerk or meanwhileongrand randomly en-mass. I upvote goat and others when they have good reasons to mock Tankies.
And yes, I have bitched at liberals. Proudly and without shame. I'd probably do it less if they supported the poor, disabled, BIPOC, queer like they say they do. I've been told I'm allowed to call them out for failing to stop Trump when it's not election season, and it hasn't been election season since at least October.
It helps that I avoid Tankie spaces because I value my sanity from genocide denial and critical support that's uncritical of China/Russia.
Here's a post talking about how Tankies are fucking irritating, my first post on Lemmy with this account: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/30081996?scrollToComments=true
Here I am calling out Hexbear's brigaging: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/44680433/18840953
Here's a post I made of Hexbear defending the Stazi: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/43942929
Here I am mocking a tankie for saying being Lemmy was made by one, no one can complain: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/25213024/18577912
Here I am calling out Nutomic's transphobia: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/43519235/18546345 https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/43519235/18510989 https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/43519235/18512294
Here I am calling out "left unity" is a sham that kills anarchists: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/42884026/18266290
Here I am asking why Hexbear is federated with an anarchist space because they're annoying: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/41261039/17734511
Here I am calling .ml/tankies annoying as shit: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/41085748/17709577
I could do more in calling them out, I agree. But I dislike Tankies, they have the right idea of stopping capitalism but doing it in such a bad way it just makes state capitalism.
EDIT: more links of me calling out tankies:

I'll remember to screenshot it next time I notice you downvote a bunch of tankiejerk posts at once, then.
Man, my issue isn't that you bitch at liberals - you told me to check your profile if I doubted you bitch at tankies, and when I went through your profile recently, there's no tankie-bitching involved, just liberal bitching. Not only that, but in this very thread, you're here not only bitching at liberals, but also DemSocs and even anarchists who believe in harm reduction, despite saying you engaged in it yourself.
If you're going to cite your own profile as evidence for or against something, having that citation be visibly evident of it is preferred.
Please do.
So should I have made it even? Every time I call out my rep failing at their job of representing me/my state I should go to .ml and say "Stalin is dead, lol"? It'd be funny but not a good way of calling out their simping for Stalin/Deng/Kim Jung Un. I value what's left of my sanity by not going into Hexbear/Lemmygrad, espeically since Lemmygrad is deferated. I have to go out of my way to dunk on them.
It helps that liberals are the only thing really able to fight Trump at the federal and local level. I've been told criticism is vaild. Here I am doing that.
No, if you're going to make a citation, make the citation relevant. In other words, just saying "Check my profile" doesn't work if checking your profile leads to the past several weeks of you bitching about liberals.
But you aren't offering 'criticism' of liberals here, you're here poo-pooing electoralism and harm reduction as a whole and, bizarrely, downvoting people for questioning the veracity of a Lenin quote (a quote which turned out to be unsubstantiated, by the way).
Fuck, your response that kicked off this comment chain was in response to my comment about working with liberals, and despite your every other comment in this thread being scorn for working with liberals for being insufficiently pure, you regarded it as a 'strawman'.
EDIT: And, in the true spirit of criticizing someone for 'being unable to take criticism' by the horrid act of downvoting, it would seem you couldn't resist, yet again.
Projection all the way down.
Editing your comment like this is violating the spirit of the disengage rule.
I edited (or rather, checked Lemvote) as soon as I saw the downvote, which was before I saw the reply.
Ok, fair enough..
Clearly we're not going to ever agree on this. Disengage, as per the instance/community rules.
