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.

Jessie, what the fuck are you talking about.jpeg
Seriously, please read up what those logical fallacies are, because neither applies here.
To clarify my previous comment: I'm strongly opposed to the notion you implied that some people are "too stupid for democracy". This line of thought has an incredibly problematic (among others: racist) history.
For example, IQ tests were used to "scientifically" claim that black people where intellectually "inferior". This is how they justified them being slaves or not allowed to vote.
Fundamentally, it is a eugenicist talking point.
And since you like to throw technical dialectics terms around: You should know that I was simply using reductio ad absurdum, a valid form of an argument. (You know how to search wikipedia)
Your capital on hyperbole is misplaced, hun.
That's not going to make the argument dissociative with your logical trauma & tantrums, not against me anyway.
I don't know about you, but I still have some self-worth left. Now, if you don't mind, I'm blocking you. Your are wasting my time & energy.
Wow, talk about ad hominem. Good riddance, I guess.
