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.

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.

"OK so look, Capitalism is right wing.
Period.
If you are pro-capitalism, you are Right Wing.
There is no pro-capitalist Left. That's a polite fiction in the US that no one can afford any longer as the ecosystem is actually collapsing around us."
If you're privileged enough, meanwhile your ignorance and apathy impact those of us who aren't so lucky.
As for
I wonder why that might be..
If you could just understand that creating the narrative of you against them doesn't help at all. Don't you see how you are pushing everyone away that doesn't think the same as you?
Now I am the asshole too. What a joke...
A compromise wouldn’t be between the extremists on one side and the rationalists on the other.
It would be between the rationalists on both sides.
And being a centrist doesn’t mean you take the exact middle point between two extremists on every issue anyway.
It’s about weighing up the pros and cons of both arguments, and deciding on a solution that minimises the cons of each side.
Ah yes, because the rationalists who want to kill black people are so much better.
That’s clearly not a rational view.
There are extremists and rational people on both sides of the political spectrum, and most rational people don’t associate with the extremists.
Bucketing everyone who doesn’t share the same views as you into the same group as the extremists is just a way to feel right about your own beliefs.
“There’s no point trying to reason with the monsters on the other side, they believe [extremist view]!”
This isn’t a personal attack, both sides do it, and it’s a very common mindset in echo-chambers like lemmy.
I just don’t think it’s a productive way of thinking.
well maybe don't push them away if you want their help. just sayan
