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]

Rules


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

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  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.

  7. 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.

Sorry, couldn't answer your question because I don't live in an alternate reality where trump didn't win. Maybe ask some of the other people here?

So Harris would have kept ICE then, got it.

Probably, since ICE was created by Congress as part of the 2002 Homeland Security Act. The President oversees it, but funding and removing the organization is a power of congress and not the president. You would know that if you bothered to learn a little bit before forming opinions.

"You see we need to keep the Gastapo, parliament passed it so why stop it?"

I understand Harris can't write bills as president, you dingus. A president has sway over their party. What Biden wanted, Dems pushed. What Trump wants, Republicans demand.

If Harris, a brown woman said "Hey ICE is a racist police organization made post-9/11 to go after brown people, let's push to get rid of it" that would spark movement in Congress.

Then why the fuck are you confused about my answer? Sounds like you are disappointed by the fact that Harris was not all of congress as well?

I want my politicians to fight for things that are for a healthier country. Why is that controversial?

Gotta make sure everyone knows that voting is pointless and that all the marginalized groups would've died even if Harris won. That way no one who refused to vote on such lofty principles as 'it takes too much energy to vote, and it doesn't change anything anyway' doesn't have to feel bad.
