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.

Regardless of whether it's arguing power corrupts, evil seeks power, or evil is more visible; this notion that evil isn't pervasive is inconsistent with my lived experience. It's not even that bad systems force mediocre people into taking several banal actions that culminate in mass suffering -- that does happen, but there are a lot of just straight up bad people at every level of society. Even in the best communities I've been a part of there is a shockingly large number of selfish, egotistical pricks. Perhaps it's a product of individualism without enlightened self-interest or an inability to see things from multiple perspectives, but the result is the same: suffering and conflict are pervasive throughout every level of every society.
Call it evil, call it economics or politics, call it whatever you want, but humanity seem to work best when we keep each other at arms length. Help each other, yes, but put a large amount of effort into not interfering with each other.
