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.

Chinese never cared, 88 is "double prosperity" to us chinese and it will never change. Western gatekeeping is annoying as heck.

That's fine. In the US, it's a dog whistle for Nazis. It's not gatekeeping when it is simply factual. There's a giant facility off the highway here in Nebraska called "Tactical 88" (with a logo that's quite literally based on a nazi symbol: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsadler) that is 100% a nazi training facility. They even have a giant billboard that says "free AR-15 for signing up".

Fascists love to use it all over the place. So here, in this context, it has a very specific meaning. And when we are dealing with a fascist takeover of our goddamn country, we have every fucking right to tell Nazis using nazi dog whistles to fuck off.

Chinese folks live in the US too. There's a popular Asian-american music label called 88 rising.
