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

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

Nina spitting truths as always. She's on fire recently, so follow her if you're not doing so already.

To be clear; everyone working in my government, particularly after today, is a Nazi, or someone who works for Nazis. Do you know what we call people who worked for the Nazis, in the Nazi government? Yes, that is correct, Nazis.

So Machado is certainly not gonna feel lonely on the list of people on my TV who are definitely Nazis.

Oh, was that too harsh? Are you feeling bad for the good career civil servants, working for the literal fucking Nazis, who I have just impuned? Cool, let's refer back to that part where I said I was surrounded by people who openly recognize that this is fascism, and ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY refuse to accept what that actually means.

We call people, who worked for the Nazi Party, in the Nazi government, Nazis. Nobody says "the Nazi government and the career civil servants who hated them but stayed."

"They'll just find someone else."

Then let them. "I took the job at the concentration camp because I was sure Hitler would find someone else" was not a good defense in court last time, and it won't be this time either.

It is better to have them there, rather than have the government be 100% Fascists. People who don't support them can slow things down by "accidentally" doing things wrong/poorly. If they all leave and are replaced by actual Fascists who want to support the regime, they will do things as well as they possibly can. Also, having people in there who can feed information is also really useful.

This is the 22 years of slowing down you're talking about:
ICE killings

At the least you're honest on wanting them to stay there, accelerating genocide.
.001% Nazi state is still too many.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Lol. I don't think you understand how this all works. Do you think it'd be higher or lower with 100% of people working for them supporting what they want?

There's a very real and useful tactic called malicious compliance, where you do what's written but not what's intended, to slow down the machinery. It's a useful tactic, but you need people on the inside to do that.

If you still want them to leave after reading this, I'm assuming you're on their side. You want them to leave to make room for obedient workers. If so, fuck off. You're too easy to read.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Am I talking to a robot, or do you blatantly ignore the fact that ICE accelerated it's “machinery” after 2025, and that malicious compliance is having the opposite effect, as I replied to you back?

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How can you know it's having the opposite effect if they're accelerating their machinery? The result could easily just be the acceleration from increased spending and recruitment being more powerful than the malicious compliance.

If they leave, do you think those jobs remain vacant? Obviously not. They fill them with new employees, who will probably be sycophants. They'll be happy to do the job as desired and make things worse.

Because effectively “They [have] fill them with new […] sycophants. They’ll be happy to do the job as desired and make things worse.” It's 2026, they’ve point blank executed 9 people in Minnesota, a Blue state.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Alright, I'm done. I moving on. I don't know if you're actually just trying to help them or if you're so set in your stupid idiology to realize that you're helping them. Everyone getting out of their way is what they want. Malicious compliance has been used historically to great effect to slow down authoritarian regimes. If you can't recognize that then you aren't arguing in good faith.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Malicious compliance has been used historically to great effect to slow down authoritarian regimes

prove it.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This has some examples against the Nazis. It's been used many more places too.

I suggest you researc before you are so sure that you're correct. You're closing yourself off to learning new things because you think you already know the answer.

Teslas are helping the Nazis.
Boeing too.
U-haul as well.
Ford, Cheveron, and all the Americans automotive makers are not doing malicious compliance (MC).

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Sure, the companies are not. They are in support of the regime, so why would they? They probably have employees who are though. You wouldn't know until after this is all done and they come out and say it. The entire point is to keep it descrete so you can continue doing it. You can't do it if they fire you.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

They are “descretely” accelerating the genocide of fascism🤦‍♀️. Since you can't see that, the conversation is over.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Dude, this conversation was about workers, not companies. You're so dense.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The sycophants exceed the “Schindlers” in our current moment. The companies have outpaced them.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

No shit. I literally said the sycophants are the problem. You want to make room for more by having the people slowing things down leave. Do you even remember what we were talking about?

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

You don't seem to comprehend my point. So I’ll draw it for you.
How Schindlers “MC”
the rate at which locust are breed profit
