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.

I hate being that cringe guy in the comments posting FD quotes, but this one is such a banger
FD is FDR I guess?
Frederick Douglass
Never heard of them
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Douglass
Frederick Douglass was born into slavery 1818, in Maryland. He escaped at age twenty, and went on to became a prolific author, public speaker, and political activist, in the fight to abolish slavery.
They've never heard of you either
In the USA, humans were enslaved. Abolitionists, such as Frederick Douglass, resisted the practice of slavery. There are many important abolitionist figures. I'm fond of John Brown.
Guess they are one of the kind of people you know if you are from that particular county, but if you are you do in fact know who they were.
Very important to American history, but yeah I don't think he'd be much important outside of here. Maybe Liberia.
Unfortunately, I would wager that the average American doesn't know who he is either.
Certainly the caricature of all of the worst parts of America doesn't know who he was:

With the mass underfunding of education to enable fascism, probably. "Frederick Douglas is one of the wokes, no money for teaching about him!"
FD Signifier, actually ☝🏼
