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 [email protected]

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.

I've never seen anyone on lemmy actually defend capitalism.
I got a couple replies just today in which people were defending capitalism. Post harder? 😛
There is someone doing it in this very thread. But yeah, Lemmy is, fortunately, quite left-wing
No they're not lol
All they did was define it, and then say they hate people that abuse that system.
“I have no problems with capitalism” sounds pretty defend-y to me
I don't have any problems with pigeons. That doesn't mean im defending them.
It does sound like your defending them. Maybe they didn't shit on your suit right before the job interview yet
To be fair, you’re also not in the comments of an anti-pigeon post in an anti-pigeon community
Thank goodness. They're such misunderstood creatures.
We need anti-pigeon comm though 🤔

How could you possibly!? Have you seen their nests!? LOOK AT THEIR NESTS AND SAY THAT AGAIN
So? Do words not have meaning here or something?
No, words still have meaning. But context matters, and context can have a bearing on meaning. The bar for what counts as “defending capitalism” is going to look different in a community of anarchists compared to a “change my view” type of community.
Ah so the commenter must adhear to the predetermined script or they're in the wrong.
Thats very anarchist...
I’m not sure I’d call it “adhering to a predetermined script”, but yeah, agreeing that capitalism is bad and should be abolished does indeed sound pretty anarchist to me!
How many years until you graduate?
Graduate from?
Oof
Definitely stay in school, kid. Ouch.
Am I supposed to be offended?
You asked a vague question, and I asked for clarification.
Unless you were trying to insult me?
In which case, you’re gonna have to try harder than that to hurt my feelings
Lol
