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.

Nina spitting truths as always. She's on fire recently, so follow her if you're not doing so already.

To be clear; everyone working in my government, particularly after today, is a Nazi, or someone who works for Nazis. Do you know what we call people who worked for the Nazis, in the Nazi government? Yes, that is correct, Nazis.

So Machado is certainly not gonna feel lonely on the list of people on my TV who are definitely Nazis.

Oh, was that too harsh? Are you feeling bad for the good career civil servants, working for the literal fucking Nazis, who I have just impuned? Cool, let's refer back to that part where I said I was surrounded by people who openly recognize that this is fascism, and ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY refuse to accept what that actually means.

We call people, who worked for the Nazi Party, in the Nazi government, Nazis. Nobody says "the Nazi government and the career civil servants who hated them but stayed."

"They'll just find someone else."

Then let them. "I took the job at the concentration camp because I was sure Hitler would find someone else" was not a good defense in court last time, and it won't be this time either.

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?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago

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.
