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.

Don't care, it's the citizens responsibility to be informed.
Not knowing that murder is ilegal doesn't make it legal. Not knowing circulation laws or law changes doesn't let you avoid a fine. It's the resposability of the people that participate in society, in driving, in a democratic process, to be properly informed. If they decide not to inform themselves they must abide by the consequences of their actions.
And it is the government's responsibility to educate the public well enough to have the critical for thinking skills to be informed. See any connection there?
Agree that we should have good enough public education to have critical thinking but disagree that it's its responsibility to do it, if the government won't its the citizen's responsibility, because in the end, if they don't take care it will be them who suffers.
I'm all in to facilitate such with proper education but it's the responsibility of each one to be informed.
It's our responsibility to inform them and get them organized. If we fail, we face the consequences too.
All i know is that when i went to my friend circles and let them know i voted and why, and before the polls were even closed one of my irl friends said “I’m not even registered to vote”. i damn well better find out that he’s a secret felon or we are about to have fucking words.
Well, that too of course, 100% agree. There was no shortage of "please don't abstain" posts around here and other social media I follow. I always preach that even if you don't like any party, voting what you dislike the least is extremely important, alongside whatever movent you want to do in the future to change the electors. I'm from Spain and I alloy the same way of thinking around here too, just voting might not be very effective, but whatever extra should be done, ALSO vote. O accept whatever result since that's what abstaining is.
