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.

The Democrats failed by trying to find common ground with the GOP - the electorate is more divided than ever, and if they want Trump, they're not going to vote for Trump-lite - they'll vote for Dorito Mussolini himself... and here we are.

Don't make me tap the sign!
I'm just happy that it gets upvoted somewhere
Too soon was yesterday and earlier. The race is over - it's time to rub our own representatives noses in their bullshit and hope our country limps along well enough to give them a chance to apply the lesson. ...I'm not confident that opportunity will be on the table going forward.
If you're still putting your trust and faith in anyone to represent you and your interests within this system, you might have some lessons to learn yourself..
You can't keep playing their game over and over expecting a different result.
Direct action, mutual aid, dual power, horizontal governing. Those are the ways forward, not yet another cycle of electoral theatre.
I voted for the frying pan in hopes of avoiding the fire. I don't have faith in any of them, but there's a spectrum of awful they all fall on and I'd prefer to at least hang out on the less severe end of it.
But you're right, we absolutely cannot rely on this shit.
I’d prefer to at least hang out on the less severe end of it.
That end is an illusion, the "lesser evil" is there to manufacture consent for evil in general, and to help shift the Overton window to the right.
I'm not trying to have a go at you, I'm just frustrated and think people seriously need to be shaken out of this collective obedience to the rules of our oppressors. The existing system will never serve us, it is designed to do the opposite. If herr cheeto getting elected for a second term doesn't do it, what the fuck will?
One of my friends probably just killed themselves.
Fuck you. You are part of the reason she's dead.
I think you need to deal with your grief offline, mate.
