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 had an English teacher who hated the word "poetical." It means "poetic." Our textbook used "poetical" in the poetry chapter several times, and she made us scratch out the "al" if it hadn't been already.

This just made me think of that.

Thank you, I was hoping so.

This feels so irrelevant for the comm, it’s nothing to do with anarchism or critiquing capitalism, etc.

Would be a better fit in a philosophy or quote comm.

Also fuck Camus, Sartre and Beauvoir ripped him and his shitty absurdism to shreds.

Capitalism does not give incentives for self care and living like a human being. I see a lot of stuff like this in communities like this, and it's because part of why our current system sucks is because it doesn't give us time to just live.

Wait, why the strong distaste for absurdism?
