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.

Were you literally born yesterday, or are you intentionally "forgetting" that the post October 7th phase of the Gaza Genocide started under Biden and was funded by Biden's administration?
Well it doesn't seem to matter to you that Biden wanted to do the exact same thing but in a "norm-preserving" way.
This is just something y'all say, it's made up. On the rare occasions where I've encountered a Trump supporter on here I call them out the same way. I suppose I could go over to Truth Social and try to sell them on communism but I doubt they'd be particularly receptive (and you wouldn't see it if I did), and besides, our people built the platform.
"Met with the news the Israelis delivered the most devastating bomb & artillery attack on W. Beirut lasting 14 hours. Habib cabledādesperateāhas basic agreement from all parties but cant arrange details of P.L.O. withdrawal because of the barrage. King Fahd called begging me to do something. I told him I was calling P.M. Begin immediately. And I didāI was angry. I told him it had to stop or our entire future relationship was endangered. I used the word holocaust deliberately & said the symbol of his war was becoming a picture of a 7 month old baby with itās arms blown off. He told me he had ordered the bombing stoppedāI asked about the artillery fire. He claimed the P.L.O. had started that & Israeli forces had taken casualties. End of call. Twenty mins. later he called to tell me heād ordered an end to the barrage and plead for our continued friendship. Spent rest of day meeting with Congressmen on Tax bill."

Don't try to tell me supporting an end to the genocide is "impossible."
No they fucking aren't.

No badjacketing allowed here. Even if it's against instances and not people.
Yeah, it's especially obvious when you call them out on how silly or ridiculous their take is and they just come back at you with some extreme non-sequitor that does nothing to engage with the argument you make. I'm sure there are some "real" people on those instances, but they're definitely drowning in the flavor-aid at this point.
Dehumanising people for disagreeing with you and being racist towards Chinese and Russian people is so amazingly leftist of you. I wish I could be this principled and progressive.
Yeah, here's a great example. Claiming anything op or I said is racist is wild. And also, Russia and China both have very well known state-sponsored disinformation/trolling campaigns running around online, so it would be expected that you would find dishonest accusations of "dehumanization" all while these trolls are merely "disagreeing". That shit sells with the terminally online left and big-brain centrists, which is why they push that rhetoric. The worst part is you never know if it's one of the state-sponsored professional trolls, one of the real people caught in the echo chamber, some rando dickhead that thinks it's funny, or maybe someone who is using terrible translation methods.
Yes I agree everyone who doesn't believe everything ever said about china and Russia is State sponsored or brainwashed and anyone pointing out how that is cpuld easily be dehumanising is also state sponsored or brainwashed. Really getting more and more leftist, principled, and progressive with each post. Fuck investigation, criticism, and debate true principled leftism is all about fedjacketing and bot jacketing.
So does the US but I'm not about to call you or any of the idiots I see running around spreading blatant falsehoods CIA or NSA or brainwashed because that's shitty and unhelpful.
You know, I can't help but wonder if you and I truly disagree with one another on this particular subject. On top of that, I think it's important to point out that we certainly have much more in common with each other than we do with our own political "leaders". So I find it interesting that this particular conversation has devolved into criticism of state-sponsored bullshit at each other. While it's certainly true that every major country in the world sponsors bullshit online, I think the number of actual propagandists is wildly overestimated, and the efficacy/subtlety of rhetorical propaganda is wildly underestimated. Hence how those in power are able to get people, who would otherwise recognize their common struggle, to be at each other's throats instead of their common enemy. No one is immune to propaganda and I think we all tend to habitually forget that about ourselves.
