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.

Its not common knowledge, but I long suspected that they are the reason for so many attempts to shut down national and state parks.
Park Rangers are armed and better trained than cops. They know crazy amounts of wilderness survival. And unlike cops, be it local, state, or federal, they have an interest in protecting something rather than power tripping.
But far, far, far more advantageous is that a surprising number of them can navigate entire parks (with exceptions). The national park system has like 80-90million acres (about the total size of Finland or Germany).
The reason I don't think many really think about it is because they're pretty small in number. Like 1300 or so nation wide. But, the National Park Service has 20k employees, and nearly 400,000 volunteers. They certainly aren't going anywhere.
your comparison to Finland - Germany confuses me.
Is it as large as both together? that would be +
Is it somewhere in between? then there would be a more apt comparison and a better wording.
is it (Finland) minus (Germany)? well thats negative. weird.
Shall he compare it to a summers day?
Thous be more fair and temperate.
Should be Finland or Germany
I didn't even know they're roughly the same size, and I'm German. What Mercator projection do to a man.
