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

  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.

Seems like a pretty great way to protest to me.

"Liquidated with bullets"?

Do they mean sprayed with? Is this an AI fuck up or just an expression I've never heard?

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Xitter blue check with an emphasis on being anonymous. All signs point to AI bot slop.

It’s a pretty popular page. Think they run the one on bsky too.

I get the impression they aren’t native English speakers though.

I couldn’t find them on Bluesky, but I’m not sure what their @ is there. If you know it please let me know, I’m curious to see if they’re on any of the inauthentic user block lists I use.

And to be honest the use of ‘liquidated’ was like, third on the list for me for why they struck me as likely a bot (Xitter blue check user and the anonymous thing being the first two).

Merriam Webster has this definition for liquidate: To do away with especially by killing.

See also:

liquidate (v) to pulverize something into a liquid, primarily with pew pews

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 7 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Huh, it was a euphemism for so long its actually part of the definition now.

I'm fairly sure it comes from basically financial liquidation / liquid assets.

In the latter stages of a bankruptcy, you often sell off a bunch of assets to get as much liquid cash as possible to pay out as much as you can.

So, if you torture that meaning a bit... you liquidate a person who hasn't paid their debts to the mob or w/e, as a way of permanently settling their accounts.

This guy is arguably stretching the definition / euphemism a bit further... but hey, maybe if that dealership's financials actually can't handle that level of property damage, they may actually go bankrupt and financially liquidate.

they were just saying their heart goes out to musk

[–] starshipHighwayman69@lemmy.ml 10 points 13 hours ago

I believe that is the traditional Roman salute.

The note was on a dealership/showroom in New York, not at the one in Oregon btw, a lot of people are claiming they were at the same place

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 17 points 13 hours ago

Thank you. This is why social media is not journalism, even (especially?) when it’s saying what you already want to hear.

Attacks like this only let him know you're coming.

No, what you want to do is air tag vehicles you suspect he travels in, then correlate the data from those with the info provided by the accounts that track his flights. Confirm this with general news stories that include the cities he's visiting, then plant a bomb on the most likely vehicles options once you understand his patterns... Or if the security is lacks enough, directly on one of his planes.

The problem is this takes dedication, surveillance, stealth, and luck... But mostly, dedicated surveillance. The people he pays for protection are no doubt very good, and on top of that he now has the government protecting him too.

The only other way I can think to do it would shooting his plane out of the sky... And I have no idea how to make that happen, and it wouldn't be a certain kill (plane might just glide to safety).

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 3 points 8 hours ago

Once the jet is in it's main ascent to cruising altitude getting to it from the ground isn't something easy for anything in the civilian world.

But like you said - dedicated surveillance.

Birds can cause a lot of damage to a jet engine. Incredible amounts actually. Thankfully birds are very lightweight and not made out of materials that can usually make a jet engine blade deform. Usually.

A bird with the right amount of oomph could accidentally deliver much stronger materials into a turbofan during takeoff. If a blade deforms inward, it will cause a cascading failure of the engine.

But that's just the engine, which is always highly vulnerable. It sure would suck if a flock of birds made out of the right materials flew in the path of a jet on takeoff. Currently planes are built to withstand a single 4lb bird strike and make a safe landing.

worked in gta, should be easy

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Okay, I agree, not the most likely plan.

However, it occurs to me planes are probably prepped for take-off whilst VIPs are still on the way to the airport. Perhaps the signs of this happening are visible with the planes he uses, and if he happens to use roads to the airport... And VIP entrances can be mapped... That might give some opportunity to intercept him on public roads.

Ergo a series of IEDs might be the best option. If he takes helicopters to the airport than I'm going back to taking potshots as the best option.

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 32 points 14 hours ago

Well, the "free speech absolutist" should be fine with this right? It's definitely an expressive act.

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml 16 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

musk probably paid some 19 yo to do this so he can claim his life is in danger and avoid a paternity test.
