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]

I'm familiar with the story. I'm from that area. I argue that this is dissimilar based on this:

Mahoney had been hired by the company just two weeks prior.

Two weeks of work at locally owned company is not in the same vein. This guy had mental health issues.

Two weeks of work at locally owned company is not in the same vein.

A local CEO is still a CEO. A new employee doesn't rule out a copycat motivation.

This guy had mental health issues.

The same can be said of the copycats of Columbine. People who do these sorts of things can always and easily be said to have mental health issues. That still doesn't rule out copycat motivations, as that's not mutually exclusive.
