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.

Hey friends, just trying to get an idea of how people think of capitalism in different communities. What first comes to mind when you think of that word? Is it your national or international retail giants, resource extraction, or logistics companies? Or perhaps your local diner, hardware or convenience store? The black market? Or something else?

Thanks for the write up my friend. Was that Fox news report with Geraldo Rivera? I remember seeing something like that back in the early or mid 2000s. I couldn't believe my eyes.

I... don't remember if it was Geraldo.

I want to say it was a less well known reporter, who actually made the trek all the way out to... I think Helmand Province (sp?)?

But... yeah.

That was almost 20 years ago now lol.

I still can't believe it. I'm watching it and it feels like I'm currently experiencing a fever dream.

The Marines weren't ordered to protect the poppy fields, they were ordered to not destroy them. Big difference

they were ordered to not destroy them.

Most of the Afghanistan vets who I've heard talk about this doesn't seem to place much importance on that distinction.
