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]

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.

Don't leave us hanging. What does "found inside" mean? Froze to death or murdered? What does being in full view from the path have to do with it?
They were in full view of the trail so i knew someone would call the cops or rangers on them. This isn't an area where folks are accustomed to seeing homeless people.
The news article said the person died of exposure which i took to mean froze to death though it hadn't gotten that cold yet. My fishing buddy later said a ranger told him it was a man and a woman sharing a sleeping bag and it was the woman who had died.
Homelessness is becoming more common where i live. I'm thinking some don't have much experience sleeping in the cold and don't realize how important it is to insulate yourself from the ground. This may account for the woman freezing to death despite it not being that cold yet
Wow that's rough. But thanks for following up.
I can't shake this thought. Losing your job, or your rent increasing beyond your means, resulting in your getting evicted... IDK, it just doesn't sound like it's so impossible for most Americans.
But imagine that you lost your job, your SO says "never mind honey, I still love you, we'll get through this. We have got that tent, and we always talked about going camping. Cheer up, let's go sleeping bag shopping with our last cash" and then they end up freezing to death next to you two weeks later.
