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

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.

I'm not American and that's not what decolonisation means anyway
Then what the fuck are you doing talking about American colonialism when it doesn't fucking affect you?
You are very fucking brave taking a stance that other people should do something you yourself are incapable of doing.
I'm capable of caring for things other than my immediate self interest
I don't know if you're being obtuse or if you're just not getting it.
My statement was that the people who use native American sayings to make themselves feel Superior to other people are fundamentally incapable of putting their money where their mouth is.
You're saying "I'm all for other people putting their money where my mouth is" as if that somehow accomplishes anything or refutes my point.
You don't seem to understand how stupid/pointless/arrogant/self-serving that is.
I didn't try to make myself superior. I just quoted a Native American. All the rest is your interpretation.
Some astronomical projection is going on here.
imagine thinking American colonialism doesn't affect anyone outside America. not to mention the person who said they advocated for decolonization didn't say for America only, so it's even more absurd. news flash: colonialism affected the entire world.
