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

Nice straw men you have there. Have an actual argument against a strike: rent is due.

These are all arguments I've recieved. Would you like me to introduce the strawmen to you?

Rent being due is the exact reason to strike. If we pulled off a general strike that went national do you think the strike would end without addressing the damages its caused?

It's what ever. If you don't have the appetite to strike, you certainly don't have the appetite to revolt.

do you think the strike would end without addressing the damages its caused?

Yes. I 100% believe that a strike would either just fail entirely, or at best we'd get some half-assed "compromise" that would leave people like me worse off than before while people who weren't at risk of losing anything tell me that I should be grateful for their "sacrifices".

It would make me the happiest person in the world to be wrong.

It's OK, you don't understand how a general strike would work. Literally, if it happens, you can't fail.
