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]

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.

People with 88 in their usernames are probably people who've been rocking the same username for 20+ years at this point. I think my username naming scheme hasn't changed since I was single digits in age logging intk AIM and MSN Messenger
I dunno, if I had a username (I don't care how old) and found out it had a racist dogwhistle, I'd change accounts.
Like how my fiance came home onr day and threw out his Punisher shirt because "asshole cops are co-opting the Punisher, even though they're exactly whose asses the Punisher would be beating on!"
That's how appropriation works though, by forcing out the people who used it in its original context.
However, I think Marvel redesigned the Punisher's skull logo thing purely because of that. Those who use the old one are guaranteed to be asshole cop and trump supporters who completely missed the memo.
I'd argue that by making it so only the people who use dogwhistles use it, it now becomes a fog horn. No one in 1910 cared about a Hindu symbol for peace. People cared a lot by the end of 1945.
Very good point.
Mine is old enough to drink (21+ in USA)...
Wait are we supposed to ask if you are dog whistling or not? Now I don’t know.
