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.

I agree. Tue people who voted for this shit love capitalism and deserve every bit of it.
Europes just as capitalist, but with better safety nets so people don’t turn against it.
How come Spain was the only one to condemn the US while every other European government condemned Iran? How come you all sell weapons to Israel so they can commit genocide.
The west is all horrible, my country included.
That's a non sequitur and false equivalence: opposing or supporting both Iran or Israel have little to do with capitalism as a way to govern and tend to be more rooted in self interests. Iran has capitalism as does Israel, now that most kibutzs are in name only it no longer has small scale communism to any real extent either.
I am not sure what you are responding to as it has been deleted but that really stood out. And as for the last sentiment I can thing of no government or organization that once big and powerful enough hasn't committed atrocities all the way up to genocide, be it the East India trading companies of the Dutch and British, the many empires through history (including the USSR and US), and all organizations that insulate themselves from criticism and their customers/employees (in the case of companies) or citizens/people (in the case of governments). The west is only notable today compare to most other nations by having more open reporting on what government decisions are being made and their negative impacts leading to more criticism that or more authoritarian regimes. This is typified by the reporting on the Spanish flu during world war 1 where the flu may well have originated in the US and was brought to the trenches killing millions but was reported on openly in the Spanish press while both the Entente and Tripple alliance supressed that news in their respective presses, leading to spain during that time being more representative or the wants of its people than the US, France, the UK, and Italy on the Entente side or Germany, Austria, and Turkey on the other (russia having bowed out by that point to start their civil war).
