Flippanarchy
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.

I guess I too misunderstood, what does being neurodiverse have anything to do with it?
the right is trying to say that criticising the world's richest dickhead for sieg heiling is ablist
Sounds like some DEI talk to me, maybe someone should go report them or something.
right? we should all be flooding that reporting email address

Dunno who hasn't heard that one yet but it felt relevant.
Ok, rather than edit my reply to AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor, I'll reply again here because your comment helped the penny drop, and I've read the conversation again now realising that the reference to the hand gesture is to the dickhead's salute, so I get the first comment, not sure about the "roman hug", and assuming the last person is being sarcastic, saying what someone on the right might say because that's how they defend musk?
Sorry, my brain isn't entirely in gear yet and I think there may be too many levels of sarcasm overlapping 😂
Lots of the far right saying he was giving a "roman salute". All of it is the defenses for Musk applied to Luigi Mangione.
Ah, see I'd seen that, but (before I realised the musk salute connection) I thought a roman hug was a reference to its own thing (like maybe getting stabbed in the back?), rather than just a tongue in cheek reference to the roman salute.
Thanks for the help 😂
I didn't see anybody claiming that, and I don't get why that would be a defense. A roman salute is a fascist symbol that - at least in Italy - is considered identical to the nazi one. They are basically synonyms, so much so that Italian articles reporting on this fact used the term "roman salute" to describe Musk's gesture.
I mean - it is identical, yes.
As far as not seeing those claims, I can tell you its all over LinkedIn hilariously. Also:
