Not like that matters anyway, since no one is there to enforces them. 🙄

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.

But you see, externalized profits don't count. Externalities are for losses only.
This kinda touches on how universal healthcare and social programs deliver outcomes to those who don’t use those services. Unfortunately, Americans don’t understand statistics en masse, so to the average American, they just see tax dollars going to people they think didn’t work hard enough for it or don’t deserve it. “Small government” republicans think all social services should be dispensed by churches and nonprofits with no help from the fed.
The American mindset is also steeped in the notion that the US economy isn’t large enough to support everyone, thus, you have to make an underclass go without in order to keep the system running for those external to that underclass. Funny enough, good luck finding a consensus on where that line should be drawn.
It's the whole selfless selfishness thing. It helps every individual to help others because the world isn't a zero-sum game, more healthy happy people means more resources notionally going towards helping everyone.
