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.

I think that gives me more thalassophobia than any animal I could find in open ocean.

No. I don't think I will.

This is your daily reminder to carry a knife with you. Or a multitool, a Leatherman would do the trick.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

this is illegal in many countries, you're only allowed to carry a knife if you have a specific legitimate use for it, like "i'm on the way to pick mushrooms"

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago

Yeah I don't live in those countries

Yeah, I'll be 30 meters deep in a trawling net half a kilometer long, manoeuver my way past the piling realize to the outer boundary, reach into my pocket and start sawing my way through inch thick reinforced cord until I make a hole big enough to wriggle through and swim to safety!

If you are 30 meters deep in the open ocean without a diving suit, diving knife (presumably sharpened), and an oxygen tank, idk what to tell you — don't do that in the first place?

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean 30 meters laterally. End of net, 30 meters of fish & marine mammals & whatever else is caught in the net, me in the middle several meters from the edges, incoming tons of marine life to pack on top.

Honestly, having oxygen would make the terror of a prolonged death worse.

I don't think this would play out the way you're thinking. Regardless of the incorrect perception of the 30 meter depth, you would still need to be considerably deep to get caught in one of these nets. Again, if you're there without any tools and you're that deep, fuck man the only thing I can say is do not do that lol. There's a reason saws are very common on a variety of vessels, ocean or otherwise. Divers are definitely trained to carry cutting tools on them, I know I was taught to carry a dive knife and wire cutters — to be honest a saw doesn't sound ridiculous.

a Leatherman would do the trick

But enough about last night at the club!
