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.

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

This post was designed to just piss people off. It serves no other purpose.
Are you worried about violence?
Well, go bitch about it on liberal.world.
k. I expect to be banned here for wrong-think. Been banned from communities on this instance for incredibly benign shit.
You’re not gonna get banned for being a lib. You’re just gonna get made fun of. This isn’t Lemmy.world, and we’re not gonna coddle you to make you feel better.
You’re whining enough for all of us jfc you’re everywhere just picking fights.
Omg you can’t be here on this instance, the AI will steal all the incredibly important things you have to say! Run boy, run!
Going online and telling other people to commit violence is incredibly easy. It also has little to no impact on actual violent activity.
By contrast, you've got politicians actively running cover for paramilitary in the US. If you can shoot someone and get away with it - as in during the Rittenhouse murder, the Daniel Perry murder, the NYPD subway shooting, various murders of migrants on the border... you can take this all the way back to Rodney King or the MOVE Bombing if you like - then you have a strong incentive to do it again.
By contrast, if you're a Christopher Dorner or a Micah Xavier Johnson or a John Allen Muhammad or a Luigi Mangione, state officials will have unlimited resources and full license to take them in dead or alive.
Consider a case in Houston Texas of police demolishing the side of a building to get at a suspect of a police shooting
You can talk all the shit you want about fascists but when push comes to shove where do you think you're going to be standing? Fascism works because the fascists are killers and the shitposters are terminally online dorks.
And where pray tell will you stand? What conversations are you having in the meat space? You talk a lot about the real world in your comment replies but I see very little talk about proposed solutions or actionable content. You seem to yell at the same clouds of those that you chide. Just from a different angle.
If you can shoot someone and get away with it - as in during the Rittenhouse murder
This was absolutely clear-cut self defense, and there is so much direct video evidence out there accessible to the public, including the whole damned trial, that anyone who still claims Rittenhouse "murdered" anyone in Kenosha is outing themselves as an ideologue who readily rejects inconvenient facts.
It's not murder to stop someone who is literally in the middle of an attempt to kill you, and "he shouldn't have been there" is 'she was asking for it by choosing to dress that way'-tier apologism.
No way. The kid took a guy illegally across state lines with the intention to intimidate if not shoot protestors to protect fucking insured business property. He went there with ill intent, it was recognized, and people fearfully reacted to subdue him.
He got his wish. He got to shoot two and walked scott free. Then made a bunch of money while psychopaths took him on tour around the country for people to cheer because he shot some "liberals."
I don't care about the fact that he thought he was fighting for his life. Maybe he was. But he engineered that situation himself. That is not at all comparable with the choosing to dress that way bullshit.
The kid took a gun illegally across state lines
This is literally untrue at one end and deliberately deceitful on the other. Literally the only portion of that sentence that is correct and not misleading is "the kid", lmao:
Pretty hilarious that the very first thing you retort with is both false and deceitful. People like you don't even know the most basic facts of the matter, and what you do know, you deliberately twist with deceitful intent. You've got your narrative, and damned if you aren't going to stick to it like glue, no matter what the reality is.
Thanks for proving my point so succinctly.
Liberals have been defending arming neo-Nazis in Europe, and arming a genocide. Accept the fact that they are also Nazis.
Capital will always turn to fascism, when the people demand equity.
Wait, which Neo-nazis in Europe are we talking about again?
LoL. Why does it matter?
This ‘wait, are they the good Nazis?’ is exactly how we got here. There are no good Nazis, period.
They're trying to determine if you're labelling Ukraine as Nazis, which your reaction confirms, was a good thing to determine
Exactly. There are Nazis they support. But I didn’t just decide to call them that- they call themselves that. Which is why Congress had to lift the ban on arming Nazis in order to send them arms.
If your reaction to criticism of Nazis is ‘wait- which Nazis?,’ you’re a Nazi supporter.
The undeniable urge for liberals to find middle ground with fascists is exactly why things have been allowed to get this bad.
The tankie "you're a nazi" insult has nearly as much weight as the zionist "you're antisemitic".
How does it make me a tankie to point out someone wearing Nazi patches on their uniform? Why is it that I’m the problem for pointing out they shouldn’t erect monuments of Nazis? If I say ‘we should re-instate the ban on arming Nazis,’ why do you get upset?
What’s funny is liberals are upset at conservatives gaslighting Musk’s open Nazism, after a decade of defending their own favorite Nazis. Red & Blue MAGA really are two versions of the same problem.
sadly neo-nazis in Europe are already armed :/
In large part because Congress lifted a ban on arming them.

looks like they are armed pathetically
I consider myself liberal but don't care about Nazi lives. I don't know any liberal who does.
This reeks of strawman to me. Typical leftist drivel.
Lmfao, literally all of you, it's your fucking function in society to shield nazi lives and enable their existence.
Seems like you're making things up, just like this made up interaction in the image
K.
Do they condemn violence against Nazis? As far I have yet seen, they are willing bedfellows to fascists when it comes to economic policies. But I haven't heard any liberals object to hitting Nazis.
