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 [email protected]

ID: 4 panels:

  1. A self righteous person holds their hand up and says "Violence is never the solution."

  2. Stephie replies with a smile "Oh! So you agree that we shouldn't give weapons to the police?"

  3. She adds "And that we should dismantle the army?"

  4. Stephie is now right up behind the other person, looking angry, saying "Or did you mean that violence is only a solution when it helps maintain the status quo?". The other person looks deeply uncomfortable.

Hmmm. And in the case of Uvalde? How many seconds did those children endure?

Your premise was dead on arrival as the courts have repeatedly signaled that police have no obligation to serve or protect anyone.

Crime is a function of economic disparity. If cops really wanted to bust drugs, or always have a criminal to collar, all they'd have to do is raid any financial firm in any major city. They've all got booger sugar in their desks, and wage theft remains the most widely unenforced crime in the US. So obviously, the logic tells us that cops are not crime solvers, they are there to perpetuate socioeconomic status quo.
