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.

So, that's been the tactic for a bunch of decades now. How's that been going for the working class?
For a bunch of decades, they haven't been executed on the streets in broad daylight. How is it going now?
The problem with your logic though is you think it just started one day. We've been on this road for a while. Trump doesn't exist without Bill Clinton's deregulation spree. Donald Trump wouldn't nearly be this powerful without Obama's expansion of the surveillance state. Neoliberals have contributed to what we're seeing right now and it's important not to forget that. During the Bush Administration all the neoliberals voted for the Patriot Act which basically created everything that's killing people in the street right now.
Yeah, except they didn't use it to kill people. The crime is not buying the car, or sharpening the knife, the crime is driving somewhere and stabbing people.
And they never asked themselves what would happen when it inevitably fell into nefarious hands. Because neoliberals exist to prepare a comfortable environment for fascism to flourish in.
Again, making knifes and selling knifes is not a crime. Stabbing people is.
Taking commissions to make knives from people wearing shirts that say "I'm going to stab you as soon as you make me a knife" isn't a crime. But it's foolish and gets you stabbed.
Which is why you support anyone who does it.
Those regulations existed for decades, sometimes centuries, and it were lobbied for by Trump or project 2025.
Nobody was wearing that t-shirt.
When the regulations were put in place, people who saw shit like this coming tried to warn you. But centrists don't listen to anyone not named netanyahu, so they barreled ahead.
They were absolutely killing people you're out of mind if you think otherwise.
I correct my statement to "blatantly murdering American citizens in broad daylight".
Every US president has killed foreigners by the tens of thousands, that's just old news.
Obama literally assinated American citizens. And don't forget that people have died in the same types of camps before when his man Tom Homann was working for him. Its all connected.
Also neoliberals being okay murdering innocent people just cause they werent born here being old news is also the same problem.
Pretty fucking poorly, which is why I'm not crazy about the strategy we've been using for the past decades. You understand these events didn't just happen out of nowhere, right? They're a result of the things that happened before them.
Yes, electing the 34 criminal traitor pedophile.
Real "if a democrat were doing this we'd be at brunch right now" energy.
As long as they don't wear a tan suit, right?
As long as they don't drone strike entire weddings in Yemen, as long as they don't explicitly protect the torturers of Abu Ghraib, as long as they don't pass a copy of Romneycare but more right wing, as long as they don't send 40B to a nation actively engaged in ethnic cleansing, as long as they don't expand upon and set the stage for worsening the border policy that is already draconian, as long as they don't send care packages to bankers responsible for the economy tanking. When will you moronic liberals get it through your thick fucking skulls that this is not about optics but about policy. Jesus fucking christ
