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.

The math is not the point here...
The math is a pretty big point, seeing how the post focuses on how few trans people there are compared to the other mentioned groups (the figure for "people shot" is only 1 - but the post claims it happens every day)
It kind of is. The point of the analogy is to make the big numbers easier to grasp. If it's just wrong, then are the other numbers even close?
Are you sure? Based on their argument, I'd say "Mathematical Literacy" is the only priority we should have right now.
I'd say this shows exactly what's wrong. People discussing the details (although important details), but the real issues are ignored, almost like the mistakes are made on purpose to sow discord
Just because the inaccuracy is being pointed out doesn't mean the real issue is being ignored.
when one party makes fighting disinformation a priority instead of spreading it they shouldn't be suprised when it spends time arguing against blainant disinformation.
That bit is a baldfaced lie. We OK with that?
