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.

They didn’t forget. They protested at the polls. It was impossible to exist in the US without being reminded of the election.
No. They forgot. Or straight up didn't care. A "protest at the polls" would mean voting 3rd party at the bare minimum. Not showing up mean they don't care. To be fair there was some voter suppression going on, but that doesn't account for anywhere near the 80 mil who literally don't ever vote.
I disagree. This was the most widely advertised election in US history.
Republicans need to fall in line. Democrats need to fall in love. The left doesn’t mobilize unless deeply motivated.
Yeah and that's because a huge chunk of the base doesn't care. Republicans fall in line because they care, even if they only care because of moronic fearmongering. Dems won't stoop to that low, so the only way to make people care is to offer a candidate that energizes people to do the bare minimum.
