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.

War is a game to Americans because it's a far away concept, since they always invade. What America needs is to have war come to their land, when it's their homes on fire and their streets are battlegrounds, maybe they'll stop being such war loving trash. This is the fault of every American, from MAGA dirtbags to leftists infighting while the fascists win. You and your garbage society led us to this.
I just hope America suffers, the way they've made everyone else suffer through the decades
I'm not sure I care for you lumping all of us in the same boat. I am not my government and I've done my best to prevent this. In the end many of us are just cogs with little power. And some of us are indeed suffering.
Oddly enough, it actually does seem like Tucker Carlson and other MAGA people are calling for the 25th Amendment today so he doesn’t commit a war crime in Iran.
In that like other blackpilling thoughts it's an incorrect abstraction that confirms you and you alone are the truly good person.
Go be an incel too while you're at it. Everyone I know hates this fucking war.
First of all, it's not the gas prices this time
Americans, even MAGAs, have hated this war since day one. Read conservative Reddit and Facebook pages, no one is defending this that isn't being paid to defend it
Gas prices aren't even as high as they've been under other presidents in the last 15 years, at least not in my area. I still don't want to be in another long war in the middle east though.

That is why its so important to teach the values of socialism in context of self identified selfishness.
If we can guarantee that everyone has the means to live healthy and comfortable…
Then you are guaranteed to live healthy and comfortable.
If everyone looks after their neighbours, then your neighbours will look after you.
We are a long way away from a world where human psychology does not contain an ego, first step to mediate that is to accept it and find a way to be at peace where it can no longer cause harm.
I mean, redpill/ blackpill/ hard right wing BS thinking is what got everyone in this mess in the first place. I'm not sure why doubling down on it would help.
It's not an exclusively American trait, it's just human nature. Uproar generally only happens when the material security is not being met by the ruling power. For example, the French revolution arguably only happened because of food shortages at the time, which was blamed on the aristocracy. That's why the smart demagogues provide just enough material security and freedom so as not to agitate the entire population.
Yep, there are two things that can trigger regime change: precarious drops in material conditions and concerted foreign intervention. The Ancien régime's food and debt crisis, Czar Nicholas' economic collapse, post-WWI German austerity and economic struggles, Cold War coups and power plays all over the world, etc... It's the same story over and over.
The core value of sedentary civilization is stability and predictability. No population has ever, or will ever, flip their lives upside down and plunge into an uncertain power vacuum out of the goodness of their hearts. And yet ideologues on the internet insist that they can will revolutions into existence with memes.
