There would be no one.

There is not an ethnic group alive who either isnt hated by another or has hatred for another.

Maybe, disdain for those people is one thing, but European powers have engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide over the past 500 years on a global scale inconceivable in previous eras of human history, in part because it wasn't possible with the tech available during most of that time.

Every country in the Global South has a horror story associated with people of European descent (not present day, from the past) which is pretty far reaching if you think about it, as they make up 80% of humanity.

That's not something anyone today needs to necessarily feel bad about personally but the systems of exploitation that concentrated wealth amongst the 20% still exist today in different forms.

Just ask Emmanuel Macron who is marching around Africa to find another region to exploit after Sahel countries (Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso) united in ridding themselves of French neocolonialism.

Violent settlement, transatlantic slavery, indentured servitude, the creation of a global race based caste system. It's not that some semblance of these concepts didn't exist everywhere. It's the scale and persistence that matters.

Really? I mean, I mostly hate billionaires.

Wait, how many people can a single ghost take out over the course of its existence? Can a billionaire ghost take out more people than one who died below the poverty level? How long is a ghost's existence? Is it unable to move on because it hasn't yet eradicated everyone it wants to? What if it is just unable to for whatever reason? Does it simply roam the Earth forever harming other people that it didn't even intend to originally?

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

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
