Flippanarchy
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.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

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.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Noticing shit libs coming here arguing against anarchism because we dont try to stop problems they have, that it is not proven we would have, by making them worse.
Pointing out potential pitfalls by saying 'you could have a lesser version of this problem that a greater version of plays a large role in defining our whole shit' and then just not engaging with any response because they're just here to justify shit they know is vile and doesn't even work for the thing they're using to justify it.
Its like the whole 'what about violence?' 'why is this violence happening?' 'totally unjustified, appeared from nowhere, has no cause, you can only kill it or accept it, not prevent it. Except by violence.' 'so it violates thermodynamics?' 'No it's just people being shitty!' Argument. Super fucking done and not looking to have it again in literally every thread on left politics.
And the weird double standard, where were reckless and bad unless we have pre-planned every aspect of a system that is fundamentally about including and nurturing agency rather than imposing a predetermined thing, and done so in a way that solves literally all their problems while making it so they never have to think, they must oppose us and we're just dreaming impossible dreams.
Is there a way other than blocking users to stop seeing their bullshit? Like a thread block? Or a thread server block?
Logging off and touching grass.
But this is the prevailing zeitgeist. You're on Lemmy. Lemmy is online almost exclusively in western states. The Online West is a product of the western world. And the western world is rife with this ideology.
You're going to keep running into this shit for the same reason you're going to keep finding yourself stuck in car traffic, sucking down air pollution, and surrounded by shitty fast food.
Going outside does not help. Only drugs, and my organs are not young.
