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 [email protected]

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.

From a government perspective they are. If you ever try to immigrate to one of the "desired countries" you'll quickly find out how worthless the average worker is in the eye of a pen pusher.
In the US, bricklayers and masons are considered skilled construction jobs.

Try to immigrate to the US and see how true that is. I'm also in a profession sources like that state as being skilled work but come application time, I was deemed worthless due to my profession, despite there being an outcry for workers.
Because countries don't generally need average workers. What they most often lack is educated workers skilled in one thing or the other.
What do you expect?
"Hi! I'm merely average. Can I come in?"
The answer to this point is in a comment further down. But the point you're missing is how often professions are downplayed as unskilled. Someone messes up in my field and someone dies, but that's considered unskilled despite it being a profession where there's constantly an outcry for more workers.
