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

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

I’m doing ok career-wise, but occasionally I’ll be in some neighbourhood that’s out of my price range. My thoughts are never aspirational or envious, but I get a kind of nausea in my soul like, is that all there is?

All that work and exploitation and whatever else it was that happened for you to be able to afford this and it’s what, a circular driveway so that you don’t have to use your reverse gear? Nicer brickwork for you to look at and say mmm don’t we have nice brickwork? A private tennis court so that you don’t accidentally meet people using a public tennis court? A security guard because now you’ve got nice stuff you’re living in fear that someone will take it?

It seems like so much for so little; to want to chase it seems like a sickness on par with heroin addiction.
