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.

Sometimes it is. For example, there are a lot of ppl being genocided in Gaza. There was like an 80 years time window for them to become refugees. Some did. Some stayed in their homeland, which is, of course also understandable. (Now, even if they wanted, they probably can't leave any more.) My point is, they had to choose between two evils, one of which was to become a refugee. You could say it's not a real choice, but that would diminish the sacrifice and courage of those who stayed to be genocided.
That isn't really a choice though?
If the choice is option A or death, that is only a choice in the philosophical sense.
But a lot of ppl chose to stay. So it was.
Yep, because they're all 80 years old.
Nobody said they are.
However, parents sometimes make those tough choices for their children and that's also valid, even if some of us would have made a different choice. Fleeing a country isn't exactly safe and often you need resources. Even if you had maybe 18 years to prepare, only very few expected the situation to escalate that quickly to genocide. Maybe some were even still saving money or planning when Israel started.
