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

  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.

No single thing alone will fix the world. Voting alone won't fix it. Throwing a molotov alone won't fix it.

Voting (in many places, for many people) takes almost no effort. Go do it. But don't call it a day and think you've done everything you can do. Refusing to vote just yields one of the many fronts in this conflict without a fight.

the changes we need to fix things can't be made by elected officials. if voting would do anything, it would have done something 20 years ago.

direct action works regardless of who is elected. why do i even have to argue this, i thought this was an anarchist comm?

How bout voting for throwing a Molotov cocktails?

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 9 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

Throwing a molotov alone won't fix it.

But the right firebomb, at the right target, at the right time, might just change the world.

Have we tried finding Franz Ferdinand?

Yup ww1 started over a single gunshot

Please keep in mind that "change the world" does not necessarily mean "for the better", and I have no doubt these cretins are looking for their Reichstag.

True, true. Saint Luigi inspired people. But that alone didn't fix the world, and it's a very chaotic move.

There are so many murdering copy cats through history, who just wants to ride the coattails of some other psychos fame.

Where are the Luigi copycats hiding? He got more love than any murderer through history, where are all the psychos who want to feel that?

Where are the Luigi copycats hiding?

They wouldn't be very good at hiding if anyone knew where they were.

Voting (in many places, for many people) takes almost no effort

The voting apparatus takes immense effort in fact. It takes so much effort that it's almost all consuming for most nations during the election period and wastes thousands of human-workhours.

I meant the amount of effort it takes for the end user.

If we're going to talk about higher order levels of effort, then everything gets very expensive very quickly.
