One of the most toxic elements of democracy brain is viewing 51% as victory and 49% as defeat.

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.

Do you expect others not to comment or something?
I expect the common courtesy of not entering into an anarchist space and then shit all over the ideology without engaging with it first at least.
Maybe, just maybe the thing you posted wasn't funny. Now if it was called America Brain or something that would've been funny.
The upvotes tell a different story.
You probably just don't get it. It's ok. You don't have to.
Ah yes the ole upvote. A mass of people couldn't be incorrect about something (like the 51%). ;). America Brain indeed.
I think whether or not something is funny is legitimately answered by "94% of people found this funny". Especially considering that humor isn't an objective measure.
But yeah, sure. This post isn't funny. Neither is Monty Python or seasons 6-9 of the Simpsons.
