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.

You're on an anarchist sub, Clyde - nobody here is going to be fooled by politicians peddling edgy liberalism.
Go back and make sure you didn't lose the plot of the thread at the very start, okay?
I don't care what sub I'm in. All I want is leftists to learn to become politically effective. I want leftist objectives to become mainstream. I want to get us out of this endless loop of whining and pandering to virtue signals. I'm going off the starting topic above about how leftists refuse participate in the electoral process because the candidates put forward are not idealistically aligned 100%. This is shortsighted and gets nothing accomplished. These next four years the Overton window will move so far to the right we might as well start over from scratch. It's one thing to clap all day about progressive values. It's another process altogether to become politically effective. Some of that requires building coalitions. Doing the groundwork to set up foundations. You know, politics.
So your definition of "politically effective" is to just become liberals?
I don't know if you've noticed, but the (so-called) "mainstream" exists to co-opt and de-radicalise leftist objectives. The "mainstream" is not funded by Anarchism Inc, you know.
The candidates put forward are 100% antithetical to leftists objectives. Political parties do not exist to represent the working class and never have. They're not funded by Anarchist Inc either.
Fuck "progressive" values.
Coalitions with whom? The very liberals who will sell us out to the fascists as soon as we threaten the power and privilege of their capitalist benefactors?
You're doing the thing. You're grandstanding while not engaging with the substance of what I wrote.
I never said leftist have to become liberal. Did I say that? Where did I say that?
I've heard this diatribe a thousand times. It's like you guys share the same copy pasta so you can fellate endlessly to how "neoliberalism is fascism in disguise".
Enjoy your circle jerk. Some of us are going to roll up our sleeves and get to work trying to make the world better.
So... just more liberalism from you, eh?
How long do you think it'll take them to get you to do apologetics for genocide?
Same old same old grandstanding and huffing and puffing. Now we have to drag me politics into any of this as if you really give a damn about Palestine (I know you don't).
Have fun sitting on your throne of... getting absolutely nothing done.
Please stop projecting, liberal. We all know your ilk is perfectly fine with genocide as long as the blood and gore doesn't intrude into your first-world consumerist utopia.
You have always been perfectly fine with it... you're just not as honest about it as your fascist cousins.
Feel free to piss off and sink with your precious and faux "liberal democracy." No one here will shed a tear for you.
Stop pretending you give a damn about genocide. Im sure you have no idea what is happening in Yemen, Syria, or Sudan. I'm also certain you couldn't place Gaza on a map before Oct 7. You never gave a shit before Oct 7 and damn certainly don't care now. It only took you five minutes to bring it up so you can continue your cosplay.
Also, stop ascribing me to liberalism. I have nothing to do with it. And the fact that you're still playing this game tells me you have not understood anything of what I said so far. I'm done with this conversation
Again... stop projecting, liberal.
Again... we all know your ilk is perfectly fine with genocide as long as the blood and gore doesn’t intrude into your first-world consumerist utopia.
Again... you have always been perfectly fine with it - you’re just not as honest about it as your fascist cousins.
Again... feel free to piss off and sink with your precious and faux “liberal democracy.”
Again... no one here will shed a tear for you.
Don't cut yourself on all that edge, m'lord.
Not being an apologist for genocide is "edgy" to you, liberal?
Nah. It's just your thought terminating cliches and constant labels and faux angst that carries into everything you say.
I guess anything is desirable except being politically effective. Now go away and keep sniffing your farts. It's the best you have to offer to the world after all
Soooo not being an apologist for genocide is "edgy" to you, then?
