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.
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.

have all the sanitation workers walkout and we'll see how quickly a regime with clogged toilets (among others) survives.
They'd just put up an out of order sign or close the park. Doesn't effect the regime and only harms the public
Harming the public helps the resistance, by turning the public against the oppressive regime. Just like the oppressive regime shooting an innocent woman in the head helps the resistance by turning the public against the oppressive regime.
Unfortunately I don't have that much faith in my fellow citizens anymore.
I don't think anything is going to change until many begin starving. Hope I'm wrong though
That's already the case:

Right so elderly abuse isn't what I meant and you know that right?
It's the most vulnerable group which is also kind of "observed" so it's where it starts/it is first noticed.
Right I'm clearly talking about economic times becoming so bad the average person begins to starve.
Your data points to either increase of abuse in care facilities or simply the result of a rapidly aging population. You can't tell which it is either because it doesn't provide the data but instead percentage increases. Which overall is a worthless metric. 5 to 15 is a 200% increase, but not helpful. Hell just this year I had an elderly family member die after refusing to eat. Despite the best efforts of the family and doctors she just wouldn't eat. Instead of force feeding her they let her pass peacefully.
Considering we saw increases in care facilities and the rapidly aging population your data tells me very little.
To be clear my point was about famine. Not about isolated cases of abuse or cases where people did not access available care or sources. Either due to unwillingness or being missed. These are obviously problems, but not the type I was discussing
In the US? Lol ok
