Flippanarchy
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.

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.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Talk about naive...
Let's say you or someone you care about (other than yourself that is) is in an accident of some kind and while laying down dying, someone passes by. They take a look and say "Not everybody wants to save others. Some people just want to live their life.", then walk away.
Wouldn't you feel even a shred of anger at the indifference? Or maybe want some kind of retribution to befall this kind of cruelty? After all, had they acted, you or your loved one might have been saved.
We're emotional creatures. That's why, not helping is the same as hurting. So when you choose to stand aside, you actually choose to harm.
Do you think I'm not angry about whats happening in the U.S.? I don't see you starting a revolution either, just typing on your keyboard. So honestly, how are you any different?
Didn't say i was different. Just letting you know it can and likely will get worse even if you just wanna live your life.
OP wasn't suggesting helping people, but calling liberals a death cult for not overthrowing a Capitalist system.
So more like, you see that person on the side of the road, you help them, and the OP says "how dare you spend your time helping that one individual while living in a society that exploits people globally".
I don't think OP really meant that but it was low effort bait for fake internet points.
Your example, there should be a potential cost to the person. How much is a human life valued at these days? 4 million usd? They may or may not have to pay 4 million dollars to get this stranger treatment.
Resistance isn’t free. Setting up systems to ignore, prevent, or cover the cost is nearly as important as the resistance.
Human life value varies by weight of minimum wage.
And the latest Trump/republican administration has proven that systems put in place ain't worth shit if no one's there to enforce them.
