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]

I wasn't aware the distance was so short or he had connections to the area. That's fair and thank you for educating me.

The fact remains the took a gun to "protect" insured businesses. The real reason was to intimidate or get a chance to shoot a "liberal".

I mean no deceit.

I'm with you on intent. He had no place being there, and it surely wasn't to protect anyone.

But the guy above is correct in regards to the event's timeline/order of action. Rittenhouse sucks, he was a child who was radicalised to hate and to fear others, and then he cried (like the child he was, at 17) in front of a panel and got brought into the conservative media fold where he now, as an adult, is an absolute shit stain for not recognizing his actions or the vitriol of the people around him. I pity 17 year old Rittenhouse, no one is adult enough at that age to be carrying a gun in that kind of a situation with that kind of mindset. The 22 year old he is now doesn't get that pity.
