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]

Leopold was responsible for 1.5 to 13 million deaths. And a slave trade that effected many many more lives than that.

And every single one is due to Hitler? The Japanese men fighting American men was Hitler's micromanagement?

No one is saying Hitler was less evil, we're saying "No one cares about these people's murder because it wasn't to the normalized default of white people."

It's not that people don't care because the victims aren't white. They don't care as much because to an american/European audience the deaths are less geopolitically relevant.

Millions die in Africa? Ok, how does that impact the US at all, apart from immigration? Meanwhile Pol Pot and Mao Zedong are household names because there is a clear geopolitical connection which kept those people in the news and history books.

Did you read the article? Does it say that every one of those is due to Hitler? Did I say that? Do you have the most basic reading comprehension that is required to function as a human being? The answer to all these questions is the same.
