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

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.

As a Canadian, American voters and the left in particular told democrats to eat shit and go away this past election. They allowed this trump takeover and called democrats fascists. Now you want those same democrats to save you? They’re gonna take a 4 year vacation and watch you people reap what you sowed, while they enjoy their money and vacation homes. It’s absurd that the American left has become so toxic, splintered, and frankly easily played by the right.
Nope. You've got it EXACTLY backwards.
The Left implored the Dem leadership to learn from their past mistakes and listen to their base.
In response, the Dem leadership refused to listen and their apparatchiks everywhere, including on Lemmy, called the Left Trump fans, false flag operatives and a ton of other bullshit.
You should stop getting your US news from mainstream outlets. You’re just rattling off propaganda.
I don’t watch any of your trash news at all. I’m just using my logic. You fools got played, how can you say you didn’t when you’re literally standing in shit? American leftists have become so toxic and offensive, which makes sense after all it’s just in the American blood and culture. The rest of the world, we just shake our head at you guys. ALL of you guys now, fuck your whole shit hole country
As an American, this is complete horse shit.
Sure, but look where your logic has led you guys to. Maybe try not being so hard headed. The rest of of leftists around the world shake our head at how toxic the American left has become, and how they love to clap back at any criticism with venom.
Not sure what you're referring to when you say the American left is toxic. We do expect a lot better from our elected officials and people are getting fed up with progressives being hamstrung by the neoliberal elite. Many of us still hold our noses as we vote against fascism but I can't blame people who've given up on the Dems after decades of carrot dangling only to lose all momentum when they're in power.
Focus up during our upcoming elections, because it seems like you fall for social media propaganda easily.
I’ve probably been through more elections that you’ve had years on earth
So you're in the age bracket most susceptible to online propaganda, got it.
Like I said, focus up, mine elder.
