Flippanarchy
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.

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.

Lol! Remember when I told you how you liberals really don't ever stand for anything?
And now suddenly you do?
I don't know what that means. All I learned from you is that to even begin to have a conversation I have to first testify under oath and somehow establish I'm not a liberal. I don't know what you want. Every question I pose is only met with another snide remark. But imma keep going because this is so bizzarre and fascinating.
Once again, what ought I do to establish I'm not a liberal?
So you are interested in making your attempts to co-opt and hijack leftist spaces to protect your precious liberal status quo less obvious?
You've made it impossible to falsify your claim even after I've asked you for your terms. All roads seem to lead to Rome in some way with you.
I will stop participating in liberal democracy. I will stop voting for any of the candidates because they all contribute to the status quo.
Please. Tell me: what ought we do? Do you have a road map or an effective strategy to achieve anything? I'd really like to know if there's a better way.
Thanks! <3
I've done nothing of the sort.
You can stop being a liberal any time you feel like - you don't need me to hold your hand through it... after all, you became a liberal without my help, did you not?
Cool. I've stopped being a liberal and I won't participate in electoral politics. After all, it all contributes to fascism one way or the another, amirite?
What should I do next? What's the strategy now? Is it more listening to you yap or is there an actual plan we can turn into concrete results? I'd like to know please
So which part of...
...are you having a hard time understanding?
Yea, I'm asking you what do we do next? Are you having a hard time understanding? It's the only question I've posed in this whole thread. Which part is confusing? What's the next step?
Who is "we," liberal?
You are on a leftist sub, lib - the only people skulking around here who will help you protect your precious status quo are your fellow libs.
So, again - which part of...
...are you having a hard time understanding?
Ah, I see. We're back to square one. The loop must go on. So again, we need to eliminate the liberalism out of me before we can talk leftist strategy. I said I got the liberal out. I stopped the liberalism. What's missing before we can move on to discussing strategy?
I'm beginning to believe you have no concrete strategy. I've only asked you ten times in this thread. I shall persist though. Together, we can find a viable path to implementing our - - sorry sorry! YOUR-- goals. I'm not allowed to be part of your in-group because I haven't proven myself "not liberal". That's a hurdle we still have to overcome apparently. This is fun!
Oh, you did, huh?
You took off your little ideology coat just like that, eh, liberal?
Do tell... what coat are you wearing now?
I'm an anarchist. Can we have a concrete plan of action? What do we do?
Okay, "anarchist..." what is it that you actually want?
Same thing I've been asking from the beginning: what's the concrete path to achieving our goals?
Sorry, "anarchist..." what is "our" goals again?
Generally a stateless and classless society free of the oppression and exploitation. However, at this point I'll settle for achieving anythitg that we want on the left of center. Really, I'd like anythitg (Universal Healthcare, parental leave, end of wage exploitation, etc).. I don't think what I'm asking is very mysterious. Would you like to obfuscate more or can you finally answer the question?
What's your path?
So all you actually want is another New Deal?
At this point I'll take anything. I'm starting to think you don't have any strategy at all...
I'll take that as a yes.
So as soon as some liberal comes around and offers you one, you'll be swapping your "anarchist" coat out again, huh?
Do tell... how did the last New Deal come into existence? Do you know?
You seem really invested in labels and qualifiers rather than accomplishing anything. The aesthetic of the left for its own sake. Kinda like college kids who put up a Cheguevara poster in their dorm room. I want to be on board with a movement that accomplishes something. I'm not really interested in the cosplay part of the left, ya dig? I'm pretty certain at this point you don't even have as much as the semblance of a strategy or plan for implementing.... anything really. Good luck to... whatever it is you're trying to do. Cheers.
So you don't even understand how this thing you want came into existence in the first place?
No, I understand fake cosplay from lame ass losers with no practical agency when I see it. Its all theater.
I'll take that as a no... which begs the question - what are you doing here?
You expect the left to give you something that only liberals will give you?
No, I don't. I want the left to give me anything as stated...many...many...times before.
You want the left to give you the first-world privileges and comforts the liberals were supposed to give you. Is that right?
Where are you getting all this from? "first world privileges"?? Why do you feel compelled to make stuff up? Why don't you ask me what I want? Hint: it's been mentioned several times in this thread. It's because you, masquenox, have nothing to offer apart from gate keeping and calling everyone you dislike 'liberals'. The left has plenty to offer but is hampered by imbeciles larping as 21st century leninists. Case in point.... Do better
