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.

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 funny thing is it seems most commentors in this post are civilians.
I am a state employee, and I am keenly aware of my role in reinforcing the state mechanisms.
My work directly supports and maintains a small subsection of gears of this overall system.
I get paid in taxpayer money, I have the capability of living a "middle class" life.
I donate some of my earnings to charities and fundraisers for various undisclosed civil rights and activists.
I love doing the contents of my work, And I enjoy the knowledge that my work contributes to a better experience for civilians in my state.
But I am keenly aware that I am reinforcing the gears even if the work I do has little association to any detrimental effects to the people.
I am at the bottom of the ladder, following orders, providing services to improve the experience for civilians, reinforcing the gears.
I do it for the paycheck.
I am complicit in that regards.

It really depends what a person actually does for the state, at what level of government they operate. Especially in a country as large as the US. Many states are larger than European nations, and have larger GDPs. If you work for the state level Department of Environmental Protection in Vermont, you're not exactly contributing to the same "machine" that's killing the Republic
Do you know what we call the person that distributes soup to the homeless at a nazi event?
I'm gonna guess "Nazi"? So let me get this straight, the state run soup kitchen near you does Nazi events?
Lmao. Really American of you to SLAM yourself over it but not actually do anything about it.
Operational security is a must for anyone self aware.
Take is as you read it, but I cannot elaborate further.
You sure helped out Yemen, Lybia, & Gaza then.
Thank you for your Zionism!🖕
Oh fuck you're so mysterious. If I had a dick it'd be so hard right now.
Should we thank you for thousands of cops deaths and ICE deaths committed each year that you loved collaborating in the ~~homocides~~qualified immunity of your state?
Ah, the tag 'Knee Jerk Flame Fueler' saving me a lot of trouble here
Clocks can answer for themselves.
Do you have anymore nuance to apologize for?
