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]

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

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.

Nah right wingers don't give a shit about purity testing. Evangelicals don't give a shit that Trump isn't a Christian nor do Nazis care that Cruz is a mexican-Canadian. If you're pushing in their direction thats all they care about.

Purity testing is a uniquely leftist problem and it's part of why it's so damn hard for the left to organise and accomplish anything ourselves much less appeal to the broader public.

The FBI has literally exploited this to destabilize activist orgs since the 50s with COINTELPRO and likely long before that.

If you go far enough right, you will find it. Trump once gave one little nod to encourage his supporters to get the covid vaccine, and they turned against him. He quickly let the news cycle pass and everyone forgot about it, but apparently that is the line they won't cross with him.

I remember. A few voices amongst the cacophony whined but we both know they all fell in line and voted for him in 2020 and then again in 2024.

I should have clarified, but yeah I'm not discussing US right wingers, they are in wacko mode and follow no logic. The comment I replied to was about the left and I was discussing the center to left spectrum
