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 [email protected]

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.

What I don't understand is that there aren't any protests going on for the current administration. Like he's calling to literally remove all Palestinians and no one cares now?
Are you fucking kidding me??
Take your apparatchik strawman back to [email protected] ๐
Let's also remember that Trump is deporting international students who participated in pro-Palestine protests on US campuses
That's literally the first article I've seen about it and the first time I've heard it called 50501.
Maybe things are just moving too fast?
I'm not against it, literally all for it, but I feel like there were larger protests after his first election and concerned about not seeing more.
It's been two weeks. People are still reeling and major protests take time to organize.
The 50501 movement alone has organized more protests than there was in the first two weeks of his first infestation. No matter what it "feels like" to you.
I was really just looking for people's insights/perspectives on things here, cause I feel like it's important.
But to demonstrate what I mean, the 2017 women's march happened the day after Trumps first inauguration and had 470,000 people in DC alone, with somewhere between 3-5million participating across the country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Women%27s_March
Idk why people are being so toxic to you but another thing to consider is the news cycle has been completely overtaken by Trump since
I think people are just frustrated, I know I am.
You're certainly right about Tump just owning the news cycle. Whether it's all been literally taken over, they're too afraid to fight back, or whatever it's clear that most news agencies aren't willing to call a spade a spade (or a nazi salute a nazi salute).
Sounds like you're not looking very hard for them.
That's fair.
I guess part of me is worried that I have to look hard.
You do because the mainstream media is complicit.
The corporate interests that are backing this coup are the same ones in control of the social media platforms. They are actively suppressing efforts efforts to organize.
That would at least explain things, it definitely feels more muted than last time. I'm hoping it isn't just apathy and am looking for more ways to make an impact.
Saw people protesting Gaza just yesterday, not at the 50501 group either.
Wasn't there supposed to be a big one yesterday across all US state capitals?
The media is in the pocket of the president. Why would they publish that story
