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.
-
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.

I don't need to? boxing and MMA have existed for decades now, it's been recorded likely thousands of times by now. see my reply to the other guy.
in boxing, they call it rolling with the punches. even if you are hit, rolling with a punch lessens the blow of that punch when it connects.
That isn't how attacking with batons work. They come from the side because it's rotational, not linear. If they're stabbing at you, sure. But they aren't.
You don’t seem to have paid attention to the meme. The baton isn’t being swung.
How the fuck do you think a baton is supposed to be used?
what does that have to do with how is the baton being used here? is he unable to punch with it because you think the proper way for it to be used is a swinging motion? did you get elected the arbiter of how a baton is used or something? this is very amusing to me.
for that matter, even if it was being swung, a hook is also rotational movement, with the force concentrated in the furthest point (the fist), and boxers still roll to avoid or lessen the force of it by moving perpendicular to the swing. I'm curious as to why you think some random person on Lemmy has a better grasp of the physics of a swing than, say, a winner of the Golden Gloves. do you figure you're eloquent enough to argue many decades of practical evidence that contradicts you? I'm willing to listen to you try it.
They aren't punching
they are, look up the video. this is from Chile in 2019 and there are multiple angles of this takedown.
