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.

Don't do the thing you want to do to try to stop the bad thing happening, because they'll use your wanting to stop it as justification whether or not you act on it. Better to just sit back and let it happen, right?
(It's already happened though, since he's now federalising national guard against State's wishes it's basically now military dictatorship, the rope just hasn't finishing tightening yet.)
No one is saying, "just sit back and let it happen". Only, "Don't do exactly what they want, and call it "resistance"".
There needs to be a consideration of empathy on the other side. If the oppressors lack empathy and escalates everything, everything you do will be "doing exactly what they want."
I disagree. Keeping these protest peaceful, is exactly what the Trump administration doesn't want. If they are looking for a justification to escalate the situation, then NOT giving them one, makes it that much harder for them to accomplish their objectives. Every single opportunity to prove them wrong about what they are doing, is a victory. It needs to be demonstrated at every turn.
