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.

It's State oppression until some savage burglarizes your place.
2% of society are just these types of people who are only kept in check by some sort of authority.
When a savage burglarizes your place, cops show up, take a couple of pics, make you sign a report and little else.
When my house got burgled, a cop came to write a report for insurance and fuck-all else. The perp was never caught and I never got any stuff back (aside from insurance payout). The police involvement was entirely pointless and could've been abolished with zero negative effect.
Not saying they aren't useful for anything, but you picked a spectacularly bad example.
I love your username. Told it to some friends today while tripping (referring to the old photo from back in early 2000's), and they loved it. Such a random coincidence to have literally mentioned your username today, when I haven't uttered the words in years.
