Flippanarchy
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 !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

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.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Its mostly an aesthetic. Nobody really believes in anything except appeasing the in-group
I heard a leftist youtuber online I really like say he feels like most leftists online aren't leftists, theyre fans of leftists, and I thought that was an interesting way to describe the lack of praxis and focus on rhetoric, internet clapbacks, and slacktivism
FD signifier on yt is rad, highly recommend :)
Even rhetoric is fine. Its not as important as oth organizing and infrastructure, but working stuff out, theory and PR do kind of matter.
I think 'fans' is accurate, but in a different way. I have met people who are like deadheads for getting tear gassed, and believe in fucking nothing. Its just like a social thing. Like sports teams. They say some right surface stuff but theres no thought no critique no literacy. I guess id rather they be anarchism fans than raiders fans or milwal fans, but its alienating.
