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]

E: before people derail the conversation to offer me the fallen arm from the title - I've tried many different combinations, and they all result in a wrong looking shruggy face. Deal with it lol

Those ideals are lovely. Very few people would argue against any of that as an end goal. The problem is the transition. Most people (myself included) just don't have enough faith in people to believe that it will happen peacefully. It will require violence. And even people who hardly know anything about history know that civil war is not something they want to have happen to themselves or their children. And so the bread and circuses still work, just as they always have.

Lmfao, all you're doing here is continuing to prove the point op is making

The liberal wants their individual privilege and comfort maintained! At whose and what cost is completely irrelevant.

No. The problem I have is the label "the liberal". Not wanting to die in a civil war isn't exactly a unique political position. There are people of every single political persuasion who aren't going to be willing to die, or have their children die. That's just part of being a living being.
