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

Rules

  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

Great care without perspective future productivity is considered a social good(I.e. of elderly and disabled folks without reintegration perspective, think physicsgirl who has long COVID, for example). It may still be a good thing, but the degree to which it furthers society is difficult to quantise.

Not saying we shouldn't by the way. It's just very hard to put an actual value on these kinds of things.

And that is exactly why society doesn't matter. People do.

Are you devil's advocating? If we just look at health care, we can see the dollars added to the ledger from kids not dying in polio.

A healthy adult likes being productive, but we are not really healthy as a whole nowadays.

Yes thought the controversially was making this clear.

but the degree to which it furthers society is difficult to quantise.

That's because "furthering of society" doesn't have a well defined metric.

... so why quantise it at all?
