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]

  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. 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.

someone desperately needs to learn meter

if he's got no sense of humor he's a fed

and all that guy does is poke at it for not having perfect meter when the history of comedic music from Gilbert & Sullivan to Weird Al is rife with elongations and contractions to make a joke fit a melody

If he’s a stickler for the format he’s a fed

If he really seems to mind
That your lines don’t really rhyme

This meme format has legs

Or a computer scientist. They seem to be sticklers for format as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Are they the sticklers, or is it the lazy ass compiler?

If he's got no sense of rythm he's a fed.

if someone posts a joke

Do you really suggest I stress that on "one" and... what, the emptiness at the end of the line? A stressed pause? Courageous.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wouldn't dare suggest what you stress in an anarchy community.

Oh, btw, here's the 'h' you dropped from rhythm. Have some more so you've got spares.

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Someone seems to have confused "no rulers" with "no rules". Also there's no h in ῥυθμός that's some Anglo colonialism you're involved in, there. You probably stole all of those from the French.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

there's no h in ῥυθμός

Not acknowledging that that rough breathing mark is an "h" is the real Anglo colonialism here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Joke's on you, am not an Anglo.

excuse me, but as a Greek, what the fuck is this ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Copied it from wiktionary, didn't bother caring about ancient vs. modern. Especially given that the only reason I can read it is maths.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I'm not Greek and know nothing about the diacritics, but from wikipedia seems to just be ρ with rough breathing. Should be "rhe"? I may be saying the complete obvious, that's just what I got from the wiki :p

It indeed is "rhythmos".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I know, but the letter is actually just ρ. We don't have a different sounding r in Greek

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Modern greek. The word's from ancient greek;

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CF%81%CF%85%CE%B8%CE%BC%CF%8C%CF%82

Notice how the modern word dropped that diacritic

Daym, corrected by a Non-Greek >_<

What studying natural sciences does to a mf (I am intimately familiar with the Greek alphabet, despite not speaking a word of Greek)

Jazz nursery rhymes

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Good idea, but change the "someone" to "somebody". Breaking rules on purpose doesn't work if you also break them on accident.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

i love jokes. i'd love to laugh at one someday.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

I thought it syncopated just fine.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

knock knock? You know we have DOORBELLS right?!

Third epitrite (dah dah DAT dah) aka 4/4 offbeat throughout. In the original last dah after "hands" (which is on DAT) is a pause.

I shall simply be pointing out "Fits betER with a suit AND tie". That 'er' is not a place where you can put stress, under any circumstance, and the "and" is questionable at best given that it would be the first syllable to vanish into "suit 'n' tie" in natural speech.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, that one line needs fixing:

If his haircut's tight and high
And it fits a suit and tie

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Alternately, and slightly more poetic:

Fits just right with suit and tie
