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.

No one wants to be a fast food worker, not because it's a bad job per se, but because everyone knows it's bullshit that doesn't help anyone, and their managers are squeezing them to get the very last penny out of them.

You do almost exactly the same thing in a charity soup kitchen, except everyone there loves doing it so much they do it for free because it gives meaning to their lives, and the people managing the operation are nice.

It's all about context, it's all about the ambiance and the social aspects.

If jobs end up not being done, it's because they have been deemed not necessary by the people. There are enough weird people to fill just about every niche, if filling that niche also allows them to live.

But treating people like people with needs and desires as well as dreams doesn't raise the bottom line! Cries in capitalism /s

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago

There is no job that someone somewhere doesn't want to do.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 70 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And a lot of the jobs that are truly awful and nobody wants to do ... are bullshit jobs that don't actually need to be done in the first place.

"no one wants to flip burgers for 7.25!" No shit buddy, maybe your business shouldn't exist anymore

"No one wants to cook our poisonous food while being paid the absolute minimum we can pay them to do it"

You don't say !?

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We could automate those jobs, yes, but then a lot of people would have no jobs at all.

[–] Celediel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In a society in which one's material needs are not tied to one's labour, this would not be a problem.

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

True, but we don't have that society, yet we do have the ability to automate a lot of people out of a job.

[–] SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

So you see the problem.

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 2 points 1 day ago

I see several. Most notably that we seem to keep winding up with leaders that want to enrich themselves rather than make thing better for everyone.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We must ban automation!

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Nah, we need to ban jobs and force automation on everything

"nobody wants to do this" = "I don't want to do this and I have no imagination"

Props to the original poster for being open-minded in their reaction

This is why I'm moving away from programming for a boss and am looking for jobs where I don't get the stress of countless meetings and project manager bullshit. I just want a nice job where I don't feel too much stress and make enough money to live decently. Then I can continue working on opensource projects as my hobby.

I really dislike all the "ceremonies" that seem to be involved in software development now. It's just so much useless ritual.

Join a cooperative!
It's our time to shine!

[–] sobchak@programming.dev 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Would be cool. I've tried, and was even able to get an interview with one, but was rejected :( This job market sucks; everyone's getting many more applications than they're able to deal with, and cooperatives are more hesitant to accept new members than regular businesses. I guess I'd have to create a new cooperative if I wanted to work in one, but I'm bad at/hate securing and negotiating contracts.

I’m bad at/hate securing and negotiating contracts.

That's the neat part, you’ll get better with practice.
And because you're not a psycopath, you’ll be able to amend them to suit both the syndicates’ interests and that of the new recruit as you go. Contracts should be living documents, not blood and tear contracts.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

That seems interesting.
