Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

It also helped that I lived in an unabashed surveillance state, that the public at large actually wanted and defended from criticism or legal change…
