I realize most people who would visit 196 certainly know this, but I still feel compelled to point out that anarchism is entirely incompatible with capitalism.

Then explain why the chad in this meme is on the side of the capitalism

You can’t, and your argument lays in shambles

Then I'm left with no choice but to depict myself as the gigachad

I was hoping to avoid such extreme measures

Is that how you spell that? Jesus I'm stupid

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

“Renege” is the correct spelling in english - I’m just bilingual and confused.

No, it's not (remove the i)

What is the 196 sub? Why is the bad guy depicted as a Chad?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What is the 196 sub?

Shitposting community that is expressly LGBT+ affirming and trends leftist (see stickied posts, for example)

Why is the bad guy depicted as a Chad?

Good question lol. Maybe because the person who doesn't look like a male stereotype is the reasonable person in this post?

Do we get a poem?

Although I'm just a cheap knockoff, here you go:

Festive nowadays

A day, tiny chad screeches

Beyond the sausage

Thank you!

I'm just a cheap knockoff

I refuse to accept this

That's a lovely haiku. Don't sell yourself short.

Has any online leftist ever talked to an ancap? It's not that they suppirt oppression outright, just that they don't care if it doesn't affect them. That's why their ideology makes sense: they don't consider that they'd be the proles, they'd be the capitalists.

Coincidentally, that's why most authoritarians support their brand of oppression: in their specific genre, they're the winners and the losers can go fuck themselves. And no, they don't consider that they're just paving the way to their ineviable overthrow

So they support oppression outright.
"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor"

(never mind that they openly support capitalism, and capitalism by design and necessity is oppressive, so either way, you're not making the point you think you're making, or worse, are being not even neutral in the face of "an"caps ambitions of oppression, but actively arguing in its defence)

Milei, the "anarcho-capitalist" president of Argentina, is now trying to outlaw abortion. This guy is pretty much against certain civil liberties.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Their arguments don't make sense until they successfully redefine every term they use, like Anarchism, hierarchy, consent, and more.

ancaps are just libertarians that live with their parents and libertarians are just republicans that like weed

Regarding the Chad as Anarcho-Capitalist convo: I think we maybe shouldn't credit value to character archetypes rather than to logic and principles.

No one's actually a complete Chad IRL. Some look the part. Some look the part and walk the walk some, but plenty are still true believers of white power. Some look the part but are really Gaston, or ready to go Joffrey at a moment's notice.

Others of us don't look Chad at all, and may look doomer, or sad girl (or whoever she is. Maybe Female Of The Species) and still have a point or legitimate grievance.

What others classify you as doesn't make you or your feelings less valid. These archetypes are observer's perspectives of instances. Moments. They're not a complete picture of what is happening.

And being or becomming Chad (or Neitzsche's ubermensch) is not in having perfect positions all the time, but being willing to err and learn from our mistakes. IRL, its a process, and even Christian nationalist Chad can learn, recover, and walk an enlightened path. Chad is a process. And 72% Chad is still pretty Chad.
