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.

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.

There are millions of people living in the so called USA who are not eligible to vote or for whom its not accessible. Examples are young people below the voting age, felons, migrants or those in precarious living conditions.
Funny how someone with an anti electoral mindset has to point that out to someone who seems to be a supporter of electoralism.
I'm simply pointing out the Trump won the election with a majority of the electoral college and won the popular vote.
He won the contest by the rules and some people can't seem to wrap their minds around it.
I guess you always meant it more like " Trump won the election with a majority of the electoral college and won the popular vote", so maybe this discussion was kinda unnecessary, but I for me there is a clear difference between those two statements which I wanted to point out. I think its helpful to make clear that there are more than 77% of people living in the US that in fact did not vote for Trump and might be receptive for many different ways of resisting the fascist coups.
The ones who were eligible to vote and didn't chose it just as much as if they voted for him.
The ones who made a concious choice not to vote are such a small group of people that its just weird to keep focussing on them. The thought that informed anti electoralism is a noteworthy force in US politics is imo heavily misguided and fails to highlight and tackle all the barriers that many people face when they actually want to vote/participate in democracy.
What? Should we absolve 40% of the population? 90 million people?
Fuck that and fuck them. They deserve everything coming.
Yeah not voting because you have to work to survive or because you have to do child care or dozens of other situations makes your imprisonment and death in an concentration camp deserved /s
Yeah, surely all 90 million habe that excuse. Fuck off with that bullshit.
They are not a small group.
Proof it. Show me your statistics
According to this source:
Out of the voting-eligible population of 244,666,890 156,302,318 ballots were cast which means 88,364,572 voting-eligible people did not vote.
That beats Harris’s total of 75,017,613 by 13,346,959 and Trump’s winning total of 77,302,580 by 11,061,992.
