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]

The media is trying to paint a picture of him as a right winger so they can better control the narrative. Read his actual social media posts and you can see that it's much more nuanced than that.

The media is also trying to paint a picture of him as a left winger. But his overall "wing" does not matter when we support him for his message

He didn't kill the CEO of Planned Parenthood or the dean of a liberal college. He killed the CEO of one of the most evil companies in an evil industry - something we can all get behind

Right. It's just yet another example of progressive ideas being popular with everybody, so long as it's pitched in a vacuum without any labels attached. Everybody wants better healthcare. Everybody wants cheaper groceries. Everybody wants privacy in their bedrooms. Everybody wants money out of politics. But most people aren't paying enough attention to realize that they're actually voting against these things when they vote for conservatives, no matter what those conservatives pretend to stand for.

Eh, same thing with the democratic party, they at least drop some crumbs but at the end of the day they still answer to the oligarchs

That's kind of how humans work. Everyone has all sorts of disparate opinions not aligning directly to party lines. I mostly follow left wing politics except where it comes to guns because for some reason that's right wing. So many beliefs and opinions cannot be properly expressed by a political spectrum but by god we'll do it anyway.

It makes me remember that video of the guy putting every different shaped piece into the square. https://youtu.be/Nz8ssH7LiB0

Yeah exactly. I consider myself far left but if I were to speak about certain topics here, I would face lots of criticisms and downvotes… and that’s okay.

It’s why we should focus on topics and not teams.

To be fair, your idea to sterilize every New York Yankees fan IS a bit on the extreme side..

They interviewed one of his friends from college who said that “Luigi tends to be on the left economically but not agree with the leftist identity politics”
