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.

lol, what is this from?
Found it in the comment section of the original post
Am I wrong or is that headline really poor English?
Extraneous "and"
That or an extraneous that
It makes sense if you read it as the caption for the picture
No, I realize it's a parrot. There is either an extra and or an extra that.
They mean that grammatically, if you read it as a label, it works because "This is ..." Is implied, and thus corrects the grammar
Maybe but doesn't requiring a pair of implied words still mean it's bad English?
It's "headline English", not "conversational English". In context, it works.
Yeah I'm not defending it, it's bad. But i see what the other commenter is saying
Yeah, I understood what it said but had to read it a few times. Plus so far I've seen 3 responses on how to fix it so it's not impossible to catch I editing...
Ain't no stool pigeon.
Gonna make you sing like a canary.
And then you're gonna sleep with the fishes.
You dirty rat.
You sly dog.
