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]

ID: 3 panel comic:

  1. A surprised looking person pops in to existence on a floating rock surrounded by fire, next to the devil.

  2. The person asks "wait a second-- why'd I end up in hell??"

  3. The devil, now taking up the entire frame, replies: "because centrism enables fascism"

What part of this do you think American Democrats disagree with?

[–] phlegmy 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No idea, I never said the democrats disagreed with any of that.
I was asking why you think I sound more right wing than democrats.

If you want me to come up with things that make the democrats look right-wing, look at healthcare and education.

What? The fact that most Democrats want healthcare for all and free education for all is right wing?

Is that really what they want though? I mean, they might say they do, but they just had a full four years in office and medication still costs ~10x more than it does where I live.

If you broke your arm, how much would the hospital bill set you back?

In my country, it costs $0. The leading centre-left and centre-right parties both support this, despite being political opponents.

Yet your supposed leftist party doesn't appear to have done much more than talk about it.

Democrats are certainly very left wing in comparison to republicans, but not on a global political scale.

This seems more like complete ignorance on your part about how governance in the US works. Just because you have the presidency and maybe a bare minimum majority in one of the branches of government doesn’t give you carte blanche to do whatever you want. On the other hand, Republicans now have majority in all bodies of Congress, the executive branch, and the judicial branch so they have more power now than Democrats ever did in the last decade or two to enact their agenda.

Get educated or don’t voice stupid opinions about governments you are not a constituent of and know nothing about. I don’t have time to educate you.
