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.

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.

Patriarchy.
Persecuting trans folks keeps men and women in their “appropriate” boxes. And — crucially — keeps them seeing each other as opponents.
The vast majority of men are worse off under patriarchy than they would be if we had real gender equity.
But as long as those in power are constantly threatening your masculine privileges in case you question the regime, most men will fall in line — and most women will understandably be skeptical of men who claim to advocate for men’s liberation.
Meanwhile, trans panic keeps attention on whether women are being sufficiently feminine and therefore fulfilling their “duty” as sex maids.
Honestly, if you wanna disguise your love of patriarchy as something else, trans issues are a great way to do it.
