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.

Yes but framing it that way doesn't allow the nations with older colonial claims to feel superior to the newer ones so they set the cutoff at about 300 years.

Its very important to close the gate at the right point in time so you feel the most important and the only person worthy of pity. For from pity come guilt and guilt is a wonderful commodity to be wielded and leveraged. But its also something you don't want to waste.

Also the framign of the meme allows for patriotism in so called socialist states, as they are always labeled as (by themselves and by tankies) anti imperialist and antk colonialist.

So your answer to the ship of theseus is that any ship is the ship of theseus.
