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

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 agree. Privilege definitely exist, but it's kind of a burned word. If you call someone privileged, you've made sure, that the person gets defensive and will not think about in any way.
I think it's more accurate to speak of resources. Everyone has some of them, but other people don't. Inherited money, having good relationships to your parents, having a stable upbringing, living in a good neighborhood and not being homeless, being perceived as competent, being physically or mentally healthy, are all valuable resources and everyone should try to see what resources they benefit from, where others can't. Sadly prejudice and racism/sexism/... exists, so your skin color is also a resource, making it easier to be perceived as trustworthy/competent/... which is a huge benefit.
