This administration has made me a straight up anarchist. Fuck this bullshit government system, fuck all government, laws don't matter anymore, fuck money and fuck corporations.
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.

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.

Isn't blackpilling an incel thing?
Wtf you mean, being blackpilled also comes with being part of r/ Collapse
Unfortunately this is partially because a large portion of the US populace doesn't ever hear the truth. So much time and effort has been spent on overtaking media outlets that even -after- gas prices started rising there are people who don't realize it's because of the war. It's disgusting, and I have no idea what the average person can do about it. It feels like I'm shouting into the void.
Copy pasting a comment I made on a similar meme
Not to give excuses for people but it's also perfectly reasonable to express concern for something that directly affects one's daily life, before an abstract system of domination.
Moral evaluation is overridden when one's purchasing power and thus livelihood is threatened. The Yellow Vests in France started because of a gas price hike, and then transformed into a political movement. The Boston Tea Party into the American Revolution. Police Corruption in Tunisia into the Arab Spring... It always starts with concrete issues and then expands in critic of the system.
Thank you. People tend to look at individual and societal behaviors from the same point of view.
Access to quality information, presence of logical frameworks, proper moral frameworks over heuristics, biases, propaganda, etc. play much greater roles in influencing societal behavior rather than a simple explanation of "society is so selfish".
Just a personal observation, but looking at stuff in this manner creates resentment against society and makes it seem irredeemable. This is bad, as it hinders any motivation to change it for the good.
Americans are isolated by a very carefully crafted coccoon of corporate media sources that generally downplay, spin or ignore real humanitarian stories when they make the US looks bad. This has been the norm since Bush Sr. And I say this as one, because I've completely eliminated all conventional media from my life because it's fucking useless.
Snippets the media drop about a far off war do not register with the US public until it hits their pocket books, probably because said media has conditioned them to be numb to war being the default state.
Zionist supremacist media projects that USrael empire's enemies are the theorcratic madmen that deserve to be back to the stone age. Peace negotiations with Iran are supposed to look past past resistance to Zionazi genocidal empire, to wipe the slate clean/outlook going forward. Mossad agents as US negotiators are there to guard a pretext for war and failure of peace.
Both gas prices, and $600B permanent + $200B (and counting) special military budget increases, is the disconnect that happens when Empire propaganda triples down in face of losing, and the reality they inflict on the world/Americans.
Always have been Like, really. Anti-war mouvement are massives during conscription. People are protecting their own interests, and is a good think to build grass root mobilization (or organization)
