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.

Horse-like ancestors, not horses. And they were 10,000 years ago.
In the same way that man wasn't drastically different evolution wise from that period to now (science says we got a little shorter, but thats about it genetically) , horses were not some wild precursor species here. They were just horses. Potentially stockier, but still horses
Stupid argument. Bananas are very sifynkw than they were 100 years ago. The horses you know are not natural horses.
Stupid argument. Slective breeding has taken place for all of history, the beasts in your mideval paintings are no more Cats than they are unnatural felines.
Evolution takes a long time, the banana you're talking about isn't the same banana from 100 years ago, it's a straight up different strain that grew/evolved parallel to the banana your great grandparents used to buy at the store. So, no, it's not the same banana DNA wise, but it's also not even the same banana strain. It's like you're pointing at Zebras and saying they're not horses, we all already knew that part. But if a cave painting from 2000 years ago depicts a Quagga, we can all just go ahead and say 'ancient Zebras' and colloquially no one will be upset.
Lol. Cope.
