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 !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

  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.

Is it? There are mind numbing jobs invented by capital but they do exist

Bullshit jobs often tend to be better paid however. No paper pusher is getting paid minimum wage iirc

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

From my own experience I can tell you that bullshit jobs are paid quite good but that's beside my point.

Unskilled labor is less a myth but rather a strategy of capital. In the past you needed skilled masons to build a house or what ever. Now you rather use concrete, a material anyone can learn to work which makes the worker expendable. Same with factories where skilled craftsmen were replaced by production line workers, reduced to barely more than extensions of the machine. This is really happening, it's not a myth, it's a way to take away our dignity. Bullshit jobs are a similar but different phenomenon.

I am not sure if we're even disagreeing here. "Removing our dignity" and "poverty wages" are two sides of the same coin.
