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.

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.

Doctored screenshot of youtube:
You see a video with the description "LA protests LIVE: View from Los Angeles" by the Associated Press. The Thumbnail has been doctored to show a screenshot of the Episode S2E08 ("Who are you?") of the TV Show Andor, where in the episode...
Spoiler for S2E08 of Andor
the Ghorman genocide takes place
What patience?
LAPD tramples civilian with horse
LAPD damages their own cruiser
LAPD shoots civilians unprovoked
LAPD shoots reporters
The title is a reference to the line "how long can the empire's patience be tested" from the imperial propaganda channels in the show. It's supposed to sound like state propaganda. I added a sarcasm tone-tag for clarity.
Explanation:
In the referenced episode,
the empire intentionally escalates a protest into a violent riot in order to deploy lethal force, resulting in a massacre. The screenshot is from a character's perspective who unknowingly helped in that escalation witnessing that massacre.
Truly brilliant character development in Syril.
Now, we will never know what kind of being he truly is.

He always was a tool for fascists. That's the kind of being he ever was.
A complete tool, yes. But this tool had the rare opportunity to begin to realize how he was being used, shortly before being killed as a direct consequence of his toolishness. That’s good writing.
I agree it's good writing. I don't think I agree with the concept of who someone "really is" apart from what they do.
There's some utility to why; what they would do in other circumstances.
But aside from that, no.
And think of all the sex these officers will need to have after!
For which they will probably charge the city (collectively) entire minutes of overtime!
