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'm not going to lie. One of my old reddit accounts had 88 in its username. Not because of malicious reasons though. It was a random number I came up with since the username I wanted was already taken. I got banned from r/comicbooks for that despite proof that I was NOT connected with any racist content.
You can't really prove you're not secretly pro-Hitler though. It's simply not possible for anyone to do.
Sounds like something someone secretly pro-hitler would say.

Unfortunately, 1988 was a bumper year for future fascist fucks.
Who CARES if they want to Support Hitler? TRUE ANTI SEMETISM is when you Support CHILDREN BEING BOMBED IN SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS!
Uh... no. Not even close.
I understand where that sentiment comes from, but "antisemitism" is prejudice and hostility targeted specifically at Jewish people. Semites or the Semitic people are an ethnic group originating from the Middle East that includes Jews, Arabs, and Akkadians. Antisemitism is the (false) belief that those "Semitic races" are inferior to the "Aryan race" based on pseudoscience, racism, and religious discrimination.
Even if I were born in 1988, I surely wouldn't use the number in a username. Same if my initials would AH or HH.
People with 88 in their usernames are probably people who've been rocking the same username for 20+ years at this point. I think my username naming scheme hasn't changed since I was single digits in age logging intk AIM and MSN Messenger

Unfortunately most people are completely clueless about dogwhistles.
Seconded, if I wasn't married, interfaith I wouldn't know even half the dog whistles.

Derek Dash. Derek, the name, suprisingly peaked in popularity (in the US) around the 80s so according to my calculations, you were born then.
Now I will never look at my Helly Hansen rain jacket the same way again.
There was a time around the 00s in Germany where they were used as a dogwhistle, at least that was the story going around back then. Anyone wearing one of these was being looked upon with a lot of suspicion by the general youth
Don't ask what Hugo Boss was doing during the Second World War in Germany
