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.

During college (UK college, so US high school equivalent) almost all the mates I made were working class and I became much more aware of the struggles people faced. University onwards this only deepened and I was well into anarchism by the time I hit 20. Realising I was being financially abused by my parents, distancing myself from them and living most of my adult years as a working class person for the most part and also being homeless a lot of the time of course really helped to open my eyes. Before I started getting that true awareness I wasn't prejudiced or judgemental toward working class people, but as I say I just lacked that real awareness of how society is structured to keep people struggling and marginalised in various ways. If I'd stayed in that middle class bubble I feel I could well have been just like these young middle class people who seem to think people are on an even playing field, for the most part
