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.

My wife has Pulmonary Fibrosis ... a condition where lung tissue has been inflamed by some contaminate and the immune system generates a run away reaction that can't stop. It inflames one part of the lung tissue and then grows ... until you have no more lung tissue left and the person dies from it.
My wife was infected by what we think was a minor virus or bacterial infection about six years ago and since then, the infection grew out of control until she had this permanent fibrosis. It wasn't because she was weak, was more exposed or less exposed or whatever ... I had the same infection but I got over it, she didn't. And this type of infection can be caused by viruses, bacteria, mold, chemical or biological contaminants.
When I talked to a doctor friend of ours about it later, he said it was just luck of the draw. Your lung tissue is basically delicate tissue that is directly exposed to the environment ... it can be affected by anything and sometimes the right event happens to trigger an immune response in the wrong way ... it's like an infection lottery ... most times people get infected and then recover ... but every once in a while, you win the infection lottery and your immune system is triggered and you now have runaway fibrosis and a ticket to an early death.
No medical expert can say why it happens, how or to whom but it happens ... and it almost doesn't matter if you are unhealthy, healthy, fit, young, old, fat, skinny or whatever genetics, its basically just chance infections ... not every time and not to everyone but if you happen to be the lucky person to win this great lottery, then your lungs are screwed.
