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.

men in particular say this all the time, too
"i would kill for my wife" would you do the dishes for your wife? the laundry?
it’s easy to talk about sacrifices you’re never going to have to do, especially when they make you sound so badass
but actually doing stuff to improve people’s lives around you is much harder than just talking
Hell, how many would choose not to kill for their wife? Say someone sexually assaults her and she doesn't want her husband to kill the perpetrator. Because, I've been in a similar position (no opportunity to actually enact the violence though) and I suspect a lot of these men wouldn't. They aren't wanting to kill for their wives, they're wanting to kill to maintain their sense of safety and self image as a protector.
In such a scenario, the will of the victim is paramount. As much as my rage that my wife had been harmed would motivate me to go full Punisher, her desire to not lose my to a prison cell or the grave would make her tell me to allow the justice system to work. I would follow her wishes but anything I could do that wouldn't taint the evidence needed to convict I would do.
Absolutely, I think humans want the honor of spectacle and not the labor of the mundane
Especially in an age of spectacle and shallowness.
Violence is fetishised in the US
Too many losers think action movies are documentaries
I do.
In fact I do most of the chores in my house because my wife's hobby requires frequent absences.
In my opinion "I would cross border for better life for my children" is looked down because it lacks "patriotism" or whatever the call pointless nationalism nowadays. Personally if my country was in any danger of being invaded, you can find me and my family at the border faster than media can send their crew there to film it. And I say it while my country borders Russia.
In loving relationships it's mutual. Wifes would probably also kill for their husbands. The division of labour would also be split somewhat equally.
When one would do labour or killing depends on context. I'm more likely to accept some labour on request from my spouse, than i am to accept an order to kill their enemies. But we are still honest when we say we would kill for eachother. When it would make sense, in some extraordinary situation, that is. I don't expect that hypothetical situation to ever come up though.
To be fair, how often would you need to kill someone to defend your wife? Dishes and laundry on the other hand, you have to do on a daily basis. Do the math.
You're really trying to oversimplify it to make a point. Are we assuming they're both working full time jobs and such? Then sure, yeah. Is it agreed she's "stay at hom"? Then yeah, she needs to do the shit, the same as a man would if he was "stay at home"
Maybe it's a culture thing, but myself and my friends/family don't use the "it's your problem" mentality. Then again we aren't pieces of shit so who knows.
