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 love that you thought this was a rebuttal. Some people never questioned the first lies they were told as a child.

What's the lie? In general, throughout written history (and even before), humanity has been tribal and violent.

The fact that we live in one of the most peaceful times in recorded history is a pretty damning statement on our past behavior.

The fact that a few violent psychopaths managed to subjugate large sections of society doesn't make it anymore natural than claiming natural order of bovine is to live in a factory farm.

It was right in front of you the whole time. All you had to do was start questioning the first lies you were told as a child and not to accept them as gospel.

You have still not answered the question: what's the lie?

Since you seem to be way more intelligent than me (it's a miracle I managed to write this ~~post~~ comment, being illiterate). Could you explain the lie to me? Please be direct and use simple phrases, as if I were a 5 year old. Otherwise I might get lost in the full display of your intellect.

The stone age was not nearly as violent as the movies make it out to be.
