Auntie Oedipus (@Parasite@kolektiva.social):
One of the most toxic elements of democracy brain is viewing 51% as victory and 49% as defeat.
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.
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.
If I post an anarchist meme on
politicalmemes, I expect liberals to dunk on me. If I post on an anarchist meme community, I don't expect to be required to explain the basics of the anarchist critique on representative democracy.So you want to follow the rules? Your rules?
I am confused; what community is this again?
Lol anarchism means no rules amirite? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 /s
While rules can exist in anarchism, they function as shared, agreed-upon guidelines aimed at maintaining mutual respect and cooperation, rather than as laws enforced through authority.
In other words, your distant cousins are here. And by your rules, we get a vote in the rules.
Perhaps you should read up.
I guess you didn't spot the "/s" in my comment.
What do you mean "distant cousins"? What's your deal, wtf are you attacking me? Why are you so arrogant?
The core of the cognitive disconnect you are demonstrating lies in your attempt to impose your own interpretative “rules” on the discussion, using sarcasm as a way to frame anarchism in a narrow, dismissive sense. By doing this, you overlook the very principle I was explaining: in an anarchist framework, any guidelines or “rules” emerge from a collective, consensual process, not from one individual’s authority or interpretation.
In short, the disconnect is you fail to see your attempt to control the tone and meaning of the discussion runs counter to the very idea of consensus-driven participation in anarchism.
Now, here's where you're wrong: I didn't impose any rules on anyone. I simply didn't feel like explaining the basics of anarchism when posting in an anarchist community.
Do you not understand my perspective here at all?
Could you provide a link for those that want to learn (me)?
I'm not really sure if I know "the best" source for the completely uninitiated, but
Thank you for all those, I will check them out!
