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.

I dislike the democratic party as well, but that just flat-out isn't true. There are focused efforts to stop most of Trump's exec orders and many other actions (as they relate to him trying to act like he has control of governmental spending, etc.) as many are blatantly illegal or unenforceable and also to stop Musk. Now, senators and house members aren't doing a ton, but there's not much they can do - they are a bicameral minority. They actually are threatening a government shutdown, but that hasn't occurred yet. Most of the resistance is rightly coming from the judicial branch.
Sounds like confusion stems from you believing words and actions to be of equal value. Which is typical for any defense of Democrats.
No, there are actual legal challenges. As for the government shutdown, that is absolutely just words as I said in my comment.
Yeah, like I said, you believe words to be actions.
A challenge in court is, objectively, an action. As opposed to "words". Already some of the executive orders have been blocked. I can give sources if you are actually interested, but you're not being reasonable.
Farting is also objectively an action. That’s not the kind of action people are calling for.
I understand that you believe this to be some kind of proper action. You don’t have to keep reiterating it.
