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.
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.

What the fuck does this chart mean lol
It says if everyone in the USA lived the way they already do, we'd need 5.1 Earths worth of resources, but if only everyone in India lived the way they do in the USA, we'd only need 0.8 Earths.
From this we can tell there are 6.375 times as many people living in the USA than in India.
It's a perfectly reasonable in every way!
Maybe a slight misunderstanding.... If everyone in the WORLD lived the way people do in the US then we need 5.1 earths. If everyone in the WORLD lived the way people do in India then we would need less. Makes sense to me.
Ok. But what's the bottom row with 'world' being 1.75?
Global consumption compared to what the Earth can regenerate.
Probably illustrating that our current situation isn't sustainable.
Earth overshoot day is the day each year we use more resources than the Earth regenerates in a year. Last year we used our yearly “budget” by July 24th.
In other words the way we live is unsustainable and killing our ability to live on this rock.
yeah this chart makes no fucking sense lol
everyone in the usa is already living like they already are?
i think there meant "if everyone lived like X residents" and each line in the chart replaces X?
oh but the worpd is 1.75 ? that doesn't make sense... should be 1? unless it's something about being sustainable
It means if all people on Earth lived using as many resources as they do in those countries we would need X times the amount of resources than Earth can provide.
