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.
Also remember, things are newsworthy because they're novel. US sees like 2 gun deaths per day and thousands due to insurance company malpractice, but this one death dominates newscycles.
As one user wrote on Bluesky, “The reward out for the person who shot United Healthcare’s CEO isn’t even enough to cover 1/9 of the bill we got for 28 days of radiation.”
I’m waiting for the copycats with bated breath.
There is a way for the rest of the CEOs to avoid joining this guy. I wonder if anyone can figure it out...
Oh I know, expensive security detail, bullet proof cars, and remote, fortified homes?
This is an I'm spartacus moment. Everybody in america should be doing their utmost to ensure the authorities have an overwhelming amount of information and leads to follow to ensure that the investigation eventually concludes with the result most in the interests of the people.
Don't get prison time by giving false information to the police. That's a crime.
Yeah but I think a lot of guys look like him. It's probably best that I call in every. single. one.
Idk man, I'm pretty sure it looks like Hunter Biden. Guess he's been pardoned
His company is offering one free appeal of a claim denial for information leading to his arrest!
Me when a CEO gets his head blown off right in front of me:
Why are all the pictures they release of the guy just black blocks?
You're getting blocks? I just see an empty room.
Westworld said it best:
I love when the largest police force in the world has to [normal part of police work].
Dont snitch btw, mans a hero.
This hero brought a mass murderer to justice.
There is no way I snitch if this guy's kid or mom were killed by this company's CEO greed and decisions, and no court or system would bring him justice. let them fix the system which kills people lives first
If I serve on his jury, I’ll for sure push for nullification.
Sure he broke a law, we can all acknowledge that.
But was he wrong? (Based on the overall reaction I’d argue society doesn’t think so, and that’s where laws come from) Or are the laws, allowing things to get to a place where this is understandable behavior, wrong?
Self defense. He wasn't wrong, he was forced to act because someone else was using deadly force against millions of Americans.
I don’t think self defense could be stretched that far, honestly.
But that’s why jury nullification exists. His actions were legally wrong but morally/situationally not, so you let them walk.
Anyone thought about inundating the tip lines with useless tips to help our hero?
Be sure to only submit one tip per phone number / IP address and take real numbers (Address, phone number, etc) then fudge them a little, it makes it much harder to filter out (my job used to be filtering tips like this). Area code needs to match tip area, for example.
Reminder: Snitches get stitches, and those stitches may not be covered by your insurance.
They can't all go looking, they've got homeless people to harass.
We should cover all the deaths from denied health coverage instead.
I hope that backpack becomes a bestseller and a symbol.
I have it, great backpack.

Call every tipline and report the person responsible for this death and many others - That person's name was Brian Thompson.
but this one death dominates newscycles.
Step 1: be white
Step 2: be rich, or a young, attractive female
Step 3: dominate
attractive female
Really? Right in front of my salad?
Love it.
Also have to wonder how many random unrelated and innocent men would have been ~~summarily executed~~ "killed in self defence by police" by now were the shooter Black.
No idea ...
Cool backpack.
curious the man didn't use a better disguise. Just shading eyebrows, changing skin tone, a cheap prosthetic nose, maybe some gauze inside the mouth to change face shape. Sometimes the old spy tricks are the best.
How do you know he didn't disguise himself?
That could be a Black woman with extensive makeup.
Seems to be a white male, age 20 - 48, 150 - 220 lbs, somewhere between 5"4' and 6'2. Best I can do.
US sees like 2 gun deaths per day
Are you sure about that? NYC alone has around 1 murder per day, and I'd assume that most are gun related.
Snitches get stitches...
It's the face of an angel.
Setting aside how we feel about the deceased as well as the police, it's not much of a dunk to be like "I can't believe they're asking the public for information!" Assuming good cops and immoral criminals this is what we'd want the police to be doing.
Here's one that wasn't shown in the post
HAS ANYONE SEEN JERMA RECENTLY??
K, is it just me, or is he pretty hot? Easy on the eyes AND a social justice crusader? How YOU doin'?!
"no I don't think I will."
