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.

You can run inference on desktop gpus. Copyrights are a state enforced monopoly, not a law of nature. I don't recognise any control of culture by anyone, including the author. The technology can just as well exist outside of Capitalism
I write software collectively. Sometimes code needs to be fixed. Let's say Fred wrote some code that needs to be fixed. I fix it and create a merge request. My reviewer, Mark, looks over my merge request and allows it into the collective repository. Fred, being too attached to her code, comes over yelling. Fred has not learned that software is a collective experience.
We collectively own the technology and creative works. Under capitalism, we must individually own that work to make money.
I'm sorry are you new here? We on dbzer0 don't believe in legally or state sponsored gatekeeping, which is what the concept of intellectual property by in large is. Have you ever seen media campaigns to spread awareness of copyleft, shareware, and GPL licensing, or have you seen campaigns meant to demonize people who violate the will of megacorps and try to scare people out of pirating content, you know, like these?
Also the companies who choose to prop up and lobby for laws to protect Intellectual Property, simultaneously don't give any shit about the collaboration you speak of, many of them have either been proven to, or are suspected of violating those GPL licenses. So to say that IP laws are about collaboration is just straight up shitting in our mouths and calling it a sundae.
Cool story bro?
