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.

I think defining terms is ineffective. Kinda like "state's rights". State's rights to do what? Focus on the actual bad shit going on instead baffling people with fancy words that can be twisted or misused later. If someone says "people aren't dumb enough to chase the high they get from seeking righteous justices by doing whatever is easiest such as attacking those closest to them" then you can go into a speech about how it happens so often that there are papers on it and it got its own term.

Focus on the actual harm being done to people. Adding terms creates a layer of distance, and opportunity to distract the conversation and waste time debating the term instead of the actual problem.
