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]

It doesn’t help that there are almost 0 conservatives left in the Republican Party. They either joined the Trump cult and gave up on conservatism or got exiled. And many of the latter were then welcomed by centrist democrats.

Every mainstream Democrat today would have been considered a Republican when I was a young man, except for the identity politics. So they've moved to the right, and then added a diversionary and divisive agenda to their overall party policy.

It recent years, moderate was always to speak about conservatives that are too ashamed to admit that they are conservative.

So it isn't a surprise.

Well, yeah… current democrats are far closer to republicans of 30-40 years ago than they are to someone like President Carter. Even back in the day the democrats were resistant to taking up LGBTQ causes. Republicans otoh are courting fascism and oligarchy openly. The Overton window has slid that far to the right.

American politics (and any post about) is like splitting in borderline personality disorder.

Seriously so much semantics.

I mean it's pretty obvious that the Democrats are more in line with what the Republicans were 10-15 years ago.
