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

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.

Non violence is easy to ignore. First it starts with, 'Don't destroy public property.' Then, it's, 'Don't block roads.' You get a handful of liberals acting in good faith against a system that always acts on bad faith unless forced to change otherwise. After that, it is, 'Don't cause traffic jams.' All these rules sound fair but they're designed to keep protests harmless, useless and easily ignored while normalizing such rules so that people are more repulsed by individual violence than state injustice. If you follow the rules, you accomplish nothing because tyrants don't listen to others; if you don't, you are a terrorist. Liberals concerned with the optics of protest thus take away the very thing that can save them as the definition of peaceful gets narrower and narrower.
Violence is legitimate for legitimate ends. Power concedes nothing without a struggle.
You don't even remotely need to reach for social murder. A state is defined by its ability to do violence. Property rights are enforced with violence.
Politicians and billionaire owned media: “violence Is never the answer (and especially not property damage)”
Also politicians and billionaire owned media: “Today we celebrate and appreciate the troops who fought bloody battles and died so that we could have all the freedoms we enjoy today “
"Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic ethnic group in a given nation. It's just the promise of violence that's enacted and police are basically an occupying army." - Brennan Lee Mulligan
A lot of people just want to be on the record as promoting non-violence as well. It looks WAY better when your social media posts come up in a trial.
violence is the supreme law of man. People get confused with violence monopoly. Violence monopoly is good, otherwise it's the law of the jungle.
