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.

Excellent form, take notes

Low center, wide stance, come in head down at gut level and lift. Ya love to see it in the wild.

Anyone have a link to the video? All I’m able to dig up is that dude throwing a can at some cops and getting spear-tackled by a bootlicker.

[–] _cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 2 points 12 hours ago

I don't have a link to this angle, but here's a link to an angle where the camera is closer and on the other side

Do they teach them nothing? Cop doesn't even try to sprawl.

[–] _cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

the video of this is even better. the cop gets back up and proceeds to be thrown to the ground again before the protestor runs off.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If thry could learn, they wouldn't be cops.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

that's offensive. and if those cops could read, they'd be very upset.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago

damn we gotta see more of this

[–] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sadly, the police officer got back up.

[–] _cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 14 points 1 day ago

yeah, and got thrown back down to the ground in almost the same fashion. and to top it off, the protestor was not caught.

the cop picked himself back up, and got thrown to the ground again.

the only other links I found were reddit, and they had all been deleted for violating reddit rules. can't have people celebrating cops getting their asses kicked. I imagine it's somewhere on youtube, but there was weeks of protests so there's many hours of video from them.

honestly I'm shocked the facebook one stayed up, they're not any better than reddit for censoring protests. especially since this was filmed several years ago, it's a wonder the video didn't get zucked.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

this just works if the guy with the stick doesn't hit the other guy on the head with it, which the stick guys will learn to do next time from this

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cause he's charging in with his shield up he's basically given the defendant a shield too, you can even see he ducks down shield side.

The baton can only really hit his left side, but he's probably in panic mode and not able to swing as he goes airborne.

That said, there's probably more shieldly stick boi ready to be cunts and mess this hero up.

[–] _cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 4 points 1 day ago

there was, they arrived just in time for the cop to get thrown to the ground a second time and for the protestor to run off.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

sadly I'm guessing after this there were many other stick guys and while he managed to tank the first guy his stats / armor weren't high enough to fight off the horde

[–] _cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

he managed to fight this cop and one more, and throw this cop to the ground again before running off.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Nice! I don’t have Facebook but I’m happy to hear that he was able throw down and get away

[–] iridebikes@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That cop probably fractured his tailbone on that tackle dayum

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Its tailbone. Objects aren't typically gendered in english.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

But the person the object belongs to is generally gendered. 'His' is a possessive pronoun in this instance

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Cops aren't people. They're objects, tools if you want to be specific.

[–] iridebikes@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

I can't believe you ratioed me with this nonsense.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Yeah it's kind of nonsense that we spend most of every municipal budget on such shitty tools.

Also, gentle corrections to non-native speakers are cool; i always appreciate them in languages I'm tryinh to pick up; i expect that will continue even when im to the point you're at where you only fuck up on the occasional weird rule or idiom.

[–] Netux@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

But the joke was great, you missed it, and he explained it while keeping it funny. Ratio was deserved.
