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

Rules

  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. 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.

Except complaining will get you absolutely nowhere, because the people you're complaining to (E: with the power to do anything within the existing system) don't give a shit at best, and at worst, get their kicks out of sweeping homeless camps and abusing their occupants (or at best, are already on your side, in which case you're still achieving absolutely nothing by complaining).

Maybe consider "do some direct action to actually help people" instead.

"do some direct action to actually help people" instead.

Do you have any recommendations?

Go out in to your own community and figure out what's needed. I have no idea where you live, how you're able to help, or what kind of support your community might need.

Start by looking for a Food Not Bombs or other group helping feed vulnerable people, and go from there, I'm sure that at the very least they'd appreciate a donation and or helping hand, but more importantly, they'll be able to point you in to several directions where your help could be used.
