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.

Americans were steeped in “we’re number 1!” At what exactly? I just saw a video of homeless children living in tents in American inner cities. So I don’t know what this “best country in the world” talk is all about.
American media is so corrupting, it teaches them to love war and violence and to always see themselves as the good guys no matter what conflict or war. Same with policing, where American tv and movie heroes are the cops who break the rules, abuse suspects and murder just to “get the job done”. So the whole culture is hammering you with this “Americans can do no wrong” mentality.
When you look at it from the outside it’s maddening, it’s like talking to a drug addict who insists he isn’t. But I can see why Americans living in America don’t see how messed up their views are, and this includes the American left which is very different than the left elsewhere. Nobody seems to be left enough to anyone and every other leftists is “fake”, nobody is good enough to be an ally. I honestly don’t get how America can survive with so much brain rot.
#1 most billionaires that's what it all boils down to. High gdp per capita, highest gdp, and it's all just corrolaries of catering the economy to billionaires.
