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.

Several things. The climate report of 2018 made me realize that the world fern isn't regulating itself, it isn't able to adapt to changes, because otherwise why would it not have adapted to the situation beforehand? It scared me, and made me want to bring about a change.
I was still following progressive politics at the time and still identified as a democratic socialist. I rooted for Bernie Sanders in the american progressive movement, and was quite upset that he lost again.
That was when I started listening to a youtube channel called re-education, which was some kind of edgy anarcho communist guy. I thought his videos was interesting, and so it felt like anarchism could be achieved. At that point I identified as an anarchist.
However, I have been quite interested in language and how it impacts our conception of the world. Until recently I have identified as an anarchist. But Anarchism is as broad as hierarchism, and so identifying as an anarchist is like having a conversation where somebody is asking "Where are you from", and me answering "I am from Eurasia." It is true, but most of the time it would make more sense to be more specific.
We should be clear about exactly how we envision non-state societies. Therefore I now primarily identify as a democratic confederalist and an oakist.
