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

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  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.

  7. 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.

It is Amos Burton from The Expanse. He is looking sullen at the words Space (Adjective) Billionaires (Noun) at the top of the image. However, at the bottom of the image he is looking very overly happy at the words Space (Verb) Billionaires (Noun).

I love the shit out of Amos. Super awesome things after the end of the series and back to the books. Doing a, I think, 20 year time jump forward wasn't going to happen. They stopped at a good point and the books after are a lot less exciting to have on TV.

Amos is a psychopath, who knows he's a psychopath, so he ties himself to the morals of someone else to keep himself from being too evil.

I guess that makes him the best possible version of himself.

It's still a shame though, as they may have adapted them well. Still, we are going to listen to the audio books at some point.

[–] jadedwench@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Once you get to that part of the series, it will make a little more sense why it doesn't work very well. The best thing about the series is how well the cast works together. Nobody wants a season with everyone apart and I don't think most people could listen to Holden ramble that long. 😅

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

We think it could be interesting, like Invasion. Also, we do like rambling, heh.

The worst thing about the series is the scapegoating/strawmanning of anarchists by the way the OPA was represented with the (A) in their name, as anarchists we were very annoyed by that.

Did you know that if you chuck the image description between the square brackets of the image tag, it works a bit better for screen readers?

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Yes, and we did. But unfortunately on lemmy that only works for screen readers and not for everybody wanting to see the alt text (at least not that we can see). A lot of the time the alt text is useful for folks that do not use screen readers for other reasons, including but not limited to colour blind folks and folks seeking more context.

It isn't limited to screen readers only on other fedi software, so it is something lemmy really needs to fix. However, until it does we will keep using our method to make it avaliable to everyone and everymany, both stick it in the square brackets and put it in the body.

Ah, I see now. Voyager actually does display this but yeah the vanilla frontend doesn't seem too:

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ah, apparently Voyager (we think it was that one) doesn't display user profiles though which is one reason we don't use it as profiles often contain useful information.

Yea, nor does it have the option to render display names rather than usernames. It feels like every app/frontend is missing something unfortunately :c

You can get hover text by quoting after the url.

Couldn't get the code markdown to behave in lemmy, so link.

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago

Okay, maybe but it really should just work like in other fedi software already. It shouldn't be this hard.

So in order to use a treadmill in space, I believe that astronauts use bungee cords to simulate gravity.

A spring loaded guillotine would thus be effective in a null gravity environment.

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 6 points 5 days ago

But an electromagnet powered guillotine would be infinitely more badass

[–] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 days ago

They also have pretty sophisticated dampeners and counterweights so that their running doesn't cause vibrations or other issues with the spacecraft. So keep that in mind when planning for space quilliotine too or you'll risk change of course when using it.

Sounds like a problem mag-rails could solve.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Exactly, rail gun that death sentence

A simple axe, rotating axle and stump can also work

A few years ago I wondered if there were modern guillotines. I forgot the name of the company, but they had a pneumatic model. Should work in zero gravity just fine.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You could spin the guillotine and use centrifugal force to stimulate gravity!

[–] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I knew science would be up for the task!

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

They need potential energy, gravity just happens to be a relatively constant supply of that. Just need to innovate the means. Rocket powered guillotine
