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.

There’s a looney toons episode t remember watching in the 80’s about a guy who makes a pair of boots and sells them for the material to make two, selling those to get more material, and keeps growing. Eventually he’s got a factory, a bunch of workers but he can never rest, never enjoy the fruits of his labor because capitalism demands perpetual growth. He dies wealthy but his soul died years before. I’m pretty sure my memory of this is somewhat twisted being that it was 40+ years ago, but that little guy repeatedly asking “now I get to relax?” And being told by the narrator “no” has always seemed so sad to me. Capitalism was painted as soul crushing even during the Cold War, and yet we still blindly go that route.
Thanks for to the response. I think I found it - https://youtu.be/89buUHeuT44
That looks more like a bunch of different episodes smashed together. The one I’m thinking of is in there, it was the parts where Elmer Fudd is an elf wearing a crown talking to the random old man.
