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.

I mean, there are proven negative physical and mental effects to being overweight. None apply to everyone but in general being a healthy weight is, well, healthier
It's correlated with negative physical and mental effects. That's not the same thing. Causality has been elusive, and it may be entirely broken to associate one with the other.
See, you just proved my point. You said “healthy weight” even though there is no such thing, and demonstrably so. You are allowing yourself to adopt capitalist thinking.
There is absolutely a healthiest weight (BMI 19-21), supported by mounds of science. Weight higher than the healthiest one causes poor CVD outcomes, higher cancer risk, depression, and many more. That is nearly a fact. Evidence: calorie restriction has a positive effect in laboratory settings. Population studies from questionnaires and direct weight measurement. Longitudinal studies for many decades.
We should not shame anyone for their weight, nobody has to lose weight or do anything. But don't spread misinformation like that, it's just not true. Notice I'm not asking you for proof because it's well established.
Obesity is a product of capitalism, the very thing you claim to hate. There would be no fat people in your personal utopia.
Being fat has nothing to do with capitalism. You are a right wing traitor lunatic who belongs in prison if you believe that nonsense.
So you're telling me that Walmart, highly engineered and processed foods, food deserts and a general lack of, or disconnection from, traditional cuisine and foodways all have absolutely nothing to do with capitalism... lol, ok man
I didn’t say that. I agree with that.
