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.

  7. 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.

"Why would I want to watch 22 men running around in circles chasing a ball for 90+ minutes? Can't you just give them 22 balls and every one of them will be happy!?"

Also not an appreciated response, LOL

Whoever has the ball is it and all the other men have to chase after him, teehee.

It gets better than that. It's where two lines of buff men line up to checkout another line of men. The quarterback is the top position because he gets to check out his team, the opponents team, and decides who and when to give his balls to. After communicating who is going to be receiving him, both lines embrace and the other team tries to get the ball often by throwing themselves at the guy with the ball.

Sometimes they'll actually pile on each other when it's unclear if the guy with the ball has been stopped.

Edit: nonono wait.. the quarter back is a switch

How do you tell the difference.

Someone in the comment chain specifically said something like football (soccer).

No I mean when watching them.

Hahaha holy shit. I didn't realize that. Leaving it tho cause American football sounds even gayer now.

Because it is. It is known.

My personal variation of that was "20 men running after a ball so they can put it deep inside the other team's goal hole"

Reminds me of how I always declined, when someone passed a cigarette around:

So, you want me to take the tip of something longish, round, somewhat hard-but-still-soft and strange tasting into my mouth and then suck on it?! No, thanks.
