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.

A burnt truck cant be used to haul people away. An injured ICE goon can't kidnap people.
Not breaking random things is important. But the goons and their weapons and tools absolutely need to be broken.
True. But they have more trucks. And if you arrest/deport/shoot the people burning the trucks, there's a chance that the trucks will eventually stop being burnt. Donnie would love to escalate this all the way to a fascist racist police state.
Grandma's blocking ICE arrests gives off real tank-man-of-Tiananmen-square energy, and it's hard to justify shooting "normal americans"without looking like the fascist goons that they are. But, shooting a guy waving a Mexican flag while looting and buring down a shoe store ... some might agree that it's justified to stop this "foreign invasion" with military force.
I can't blame people for wanting to stop ICE from kidnapping innocent people. But, we don't want to serve up justifications on a silver platter either.
LAPD shot journalists who were providing live coverage of the protests.
We are well past the point. Also serve justification for who? The notion not to serve them justifications implies that there is a sizable part of the population that would take to the streets if they see unjust police violence. We already have the unjust police violence. Now is the time to take to the streets. And taking to the streets means to not obey the dispersal orders and curfews that will be placed. Because then the protests will not be any threat to the government.
