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.

“laws aren’t real silly”

Dream convo

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

The version with two (or more) of these is so much fun.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Easily the best gf, would seek one if not married

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Silly, she doesn’t care that you’re married.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

She does not! Thats part of why she's special lol

She can however recognize the validity of my entirely equitable union, wherein gender roles are often subverted if not actively ignored. I am, she would appreciate, the husband who does the fuckin dishes.

We'll see each other on the same fediverse posts about to link the comments to "Desert" by Anon and leave it there, knowing good work is being done by someone who in another life, maybe...

If anyone needs me ill be quietly reading Novatore tonight totally not projecting off people I've known nope

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Agree except with her take on relationships. Someone has obviously never heard of relationship anarchy.

I dont make bombs (im not that precise) and i have my own pressure cooker (i got it to sterilize jars of dirt)

[–] _cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

you use your preessure cooker as an autoclave for dirt? normally I would ignore you, but this is so unusual I have to ask what for ?

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

As somebody who has autoclaved dirt - they're probably growing mushrooms

[–] _cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 4 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

mushrooms need sterile dirt? I had no idea.

[–] omgboom@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's a pretty easy process, there's a flow chart below and one of the first questions is "do you own a pressure cooker"

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24420178#24420178

If you do not own a pressure cooker there are other ways, but you will be fighting mold at some point. The broke boi Tek is tried and true

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

Tek

Instant confirmation that person knows what's up.

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

If you want the right type of mushroom to grow, yes. If you want any kind of fungus, no

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Otherwise the mold wins.

[–] _cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

can i borrow your pressure cooker

you better be making some chilli with my instapot, cause you break it and you owe me another one

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

She's making something with heat, that's for sure.

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 5 points 2 weeks ago

I might've met the perfect woman if she's into making caltrops out of nails for the first date

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Now how can an illegalist borrow a pressure cooker. Illegalist, is you gonna give it back?

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Wen u become ð comrade.

Does she live in Canada? 🤭

Propaganda of the deed is a failed strategy that set anarchism back decades in the US.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Luigi.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 weeks ago

... galleani?

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Isn’t as popular as you think, is not an anarchist, and the political implications of his (alleged) actions are not clear to me.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

His (professed) politics are a shit show, but he did allegedly do propaganda of the deed.

And it worked, at least a little. I can't find anyone on rhe trains and busses of los angeles whos hostile to him.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think the events around him are interesting but I think if propaganda of the deed is to be effective the target needs to be basically universally reviled. While younger and left leaning people have largely supported Luigi, most older people don’t, and that’s part of why I think, despite being one of the more successful examples, it still didn’t achieve much of anything.

Also, I actually think that Luigi having incoherent political views was good in this case since there was no concrete movement the ruling class could blame and justify repression against. If he had been an anarchist instead I think things could have gone a lot worse. Especially if Trump or someone more autocratic had been in power.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

most older people don't

Again, i have not found a single person while having conversations on tje public trsnsit and streets of los angeles whos hostile.At most they're in the 'well he did a bad thing, but i get it' camp.

universally reviled

yeah that helps. Also the plan popping off helps. Americans have no sympathy for failure.

not associated with a movement

Im not so sure that couldn't work. Know more than one who turned left because of that act. The considerations are complex, but, like, there's probably a way. I'll leave it to the pro violence doers.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

The people you personally interact with in your specific social context in one city in the US are not representative of the country as a whole.

The killing was not popular and if anarchists were associated with it, it would only make them even more unpopular than they already are.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

'Acceptable' and 'unacceptable' also much narrower criteria. A lot of the people i talk to saying 'i dobt like murder but i understand it/dont hold it against him' might say 'unacceptable.'

And not everyone everywhere is going to be sympathetic. Thats fine. If the people of bootlick arkansas want to die in chains, that is their perogative.

I'm not generally for or against, just pointing out that it works sometimes and does spark dialogue. Even if its more complicated than 'do crime be popular'.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Oh, also, should be noted: people lie about their values and preferences. Especially around violence.

Not like maliciously, just bevause that's what you say. Especially in a public context-like a poll.

And plenty don't actually know what they believe/believe in nothing re: abstract principles.

Nobody likes war for war's sake, but plenty of people have never seen a war they didnt like.

So im not sure a lot of people really can answer the question polled with any honesty.

Nerd

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

True.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Lol. Being genuine though, I don't think of illegalism as a strategy, but more so a lifestyle that's most congruent with my values, so I'd argue that it can't really 'fail' in that sense.

I do think there's some worthwhile theory behind it, and legitimate benefits outside of individual empowerment, but those aren't what drive me

Edit: it just occurred to me you're probably responding specifically to the Galleani part. Idk much about him tbh

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I’m not objecting to the meme as a whole, laws aren’t my jam at all but blowing people up really didn’t get the movement anywhere.
