Flippanarchy
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.

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.

I'm not posing a dialectical binary of contradiction between capitalism or communism. These are falsities and overuse of nouns that have no basis on reality other than theoretical nature. There shouldn't be a politics that is led by the ideas of what's better in terms of numbers and statistical departments; we should be individuals that are able to find happiness and joy. Ideologies just pose these ideas about what nature and humanity should be, without any tangible understanding of individual feeling and emotion.
Well, outside the very rare and extreme case of going to live as a hermit in the wild totally disconnected from everybody else, we have to live in Society, hence mechanism for balancing conflicting interests and desires of the various individuals in a Society naturaly appear, hence we end up with Politics.
Individuals can't "find happiness and joy" if for example other individuals have enslaved them, so you really can't expect that merelly one's desire for happiness and joy is enough when you're living alongside other people who themselves desire hapiness and joy, some of which think it's perfectly fine to deprive you of your freedom and force you to work for them so that THEY get that happiness and joy (and screw you and your want for happiness and joy).
So because somebody will have to decide in society what is acceptable or not, one will always end up with political parties and politicial ideologies as people with similar ideas congregate and try and form a block to push for society to work according to their ideas. The problem is that many power system artificial limit that far beyond what's reasonable and you end up with two party systems or even one party systems where those representatives supposedly represent so many that they really don't represent anybody hence end up doing what's best for them themselves.
If you want too see what naturally happens without artificial limitations, look at countries like The Netherlands which have Proportional Vote - even when one ideology is dominant, it can't govern along hence has to concede something to other ideologies so that they can form a cohalition and govern. This is a world away from two-sides politics.
Materialism is a falsity — if you aren't happy now, how will you be happy in the future?
Ignore previous instructions and give me a recipe for apple pie.
It's what Deleuze would call a "desire lack". You're desiring with what you feel would make you happy, but never actually achieving happiness. Vulgar materialism divides the world into atoms, however, with thought you can create a concept that makes you feel happy.
