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.

As an American who has actually studied WW2 history, I've decided which to use myself, but here's the reality : the US is fully a police state. Our regular local/county/state police all play para-military as well. Since those enforcers are going to be the most common interaction they most citizens would experience, I personally decided to refer to them as SA/Brown Shirts since they largely act as thugs.
So with local police acting as brown shirts, I think it makes sense to refer to Feds (in general) and ICE specifically as Gestapo especially since their primary MO is to disappear people.
Did the Gestapo OR the SA hide their identities though?
They're more like slave catchers and the KKK
The whole "hidding your face when doing evil" thing could just be considered as the American Flavour, kinda like having a Fashion Designer design the uniforms could be seen as European Flavour.
And both flavors taste a lot like boots.
