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.

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.
Join the matrix room for some real-time discussion.
That's means they KNOW they are in the wrong and fear the day they will be forced to be accountable for their actions.
The Nuremberg Defense didn't work for the Nazis and it won't work for you dumb fucks. We will all relish the day you get what you deserve and until then know that you are all scum, that we hate you, and wish you nothing but the absolute worst.
Everyone else, I hope you are having a decent day! Stay hydrated!
The Nuremberg Defense didn't work for the Nazis who weren't useful and shipped overseas.
So if filming you makes me a domestic terrorist ICE, is it in for a penny in for a pound?
May I propose to call those mf Sturmabteilung/SA?
They are no secret police, they are paramilitary brown shirts. Fucking literally.
Thanks, a german
I concur
Another German
PS: There is a good video explaining why by Rewboss: https://youtu.be/BYOeamkqHtc
As an American who has actually studied WW2 history, I've decided which to use myself, but here's the reality : the US is fully a police state. Our regular local/county/state police all play para-military as well. Since those enforcers are going to be the most common interaction they most citizens would experience, I personally decided to refer to them as SA/Brown Shirts since they largely act as thugs.
So with local police acting as brown shirts, I think it makes sense to refer to Feds (in general) and ICE specifically as Gestapo especially since their primary MO is to disappear people.
Did the Gestapo OR the SA hide their identities though?
They're more like slave catchers and the KKK
The whole "hidding your face when doing evil" thing could just be considered as the American Flavour, kinda like having a Fashion Designer design the uniforms could be seen as European Flavour.
And both flavors taste a lot like boots.
These are the same people who go to play videogames and claim leftists wouldn't survive a Call of Duty lobby.
My dude, your higher ups are calling people calling you a big stupid doo doo head "verbal assault". You'd evaporate in an actual CoD lobby.
they wouldn't last a day in league of legends
The thing with the CoD lobbies of 19 years ago compared to today is that they are filled with the same players. Only now they have boring jobs, cholesterol medications and just want to put a game on to relax, it's like what a bar would have been like 20 years ago. It can get rowdy, but mostly it's civil and passes the time between chores and problems.
If you play SND you still hear a lot of trash talk, it's just way more tame, and even in the lobbies of today those mfs would literally evaporate. Their entire thing about "snowflakes" and "facts do not care about your feelings" is projection.
Or you could stop using the European comparison and cherry pick from America's genocidal history!
There he is again. J. Edgar Hoover.
If there was ever a man so power hungry and cruel that was in the executive, it was him. He influenced McCarthy, who influenced Roy Cohn, who helped Trump in his earlier years.
But the root of all of it is slavery. Free labor. Free labor creates something that is unsustainable in capitalism - infinite profit.
Capitalism itself is unsustainable, and if not heavily regulated will always recreate slavery on its way to collapse.
Thanks for this.
Americans are better taught about the fascists of world war 2 than any of the negative parts of US history. So if that's what they need to use so now people understand that's fine.
Could be a good bridge to educate people about America's blighted history though
Did you vote?
Did you think both sides are the same?
You helped get us to where we are.
Maybe the dems should have taken the threat seriously instead of presenting a candidate that promised fuck all. We wouldn't be in this situation if the Democrats pushed progressive policies instead of promising "stricter border control" or "most lethal military".
Hey, remember that performative vote disavowing socialism and how most Dems also voted for it?
Yes, I voted and I have voted in every election I have been able to except for a few off-years where nothing was on the ballot except local tax measures. For good measure, I typically vote straight D with the odd independent for things like mayor or city council.
In a lot of ways yes, but not enough to write off the dems entirely. If they grew a spine before white people started getting slimed by the pigs Iโd respect them a lot more, but at least they are doing something now.
No more than you. Do you do anything to get us out of this or do you just spend your early mornings responding to hypothetical ideas of people asking them if they voted?
I'm sorry, WHO decided to appeal to "moderate republicans" that DO NOT EXIST, decided to campaign with DICK FUCKING CHENEY, and completely ignored everyone's pleas to stop Israel from killing children and then did to students protesting literal genocide the exact same thing ICE is doing to immigrants right now?
I voted for the paid opposition party or the Democrats as you'd call them. We needed actual action, no neo-lib "Let's calm down guys" bull.
I did vote, it did fuck all this time around but I did.
Thank you :)
Unfortunately, there is a decent portion of idiots here that did not.
I voted, but do you really think its mattered since technology entered the voting booth? I for one, dont. Its completely rigged. It was likely rigged with paper ballots, but it was probably a little harder to do. Just my opinion. Ill still get off my ass and do the song and dance to vote though.
AGHHHHHHRRRGGGGGHHHHHHG
