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.

Those billionaires didn’t portal into this world from another reality. Pick any human at random, make them a billionaire, chances are you have another worst-of-the-worst.
I’d guess fewer than 1/3 of people are “good” (even after being educated). The rest are just dangerously intelligent animals.
and which group are you in?
Nobody’s perfect, but if I had a billion dollars my sole preoccupation would be to spend it as fast and effectively as possible to help people in need. That one criterion alone — a kind of minimum requirement — unfortunately makes me weird. However, I stand by the claim that anyone who would do otherwise is a bad person.
To be clear, there is a wealth threshold (Maslow’s hierarchy of needs) that few people in the first world achieve, so we can hardly blame them for not donating their meager savings. But a billion dollars is utterly beyond the pale. Hence my example.
Power corrupts. Our mistake is allowing power to be concentrated.
