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.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

2 hours ago you were referring to them NEGATIVELY as gangs completely without irony.
Because I didn't do my research before then... Like yeah I made a mistake, sorry about that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The title says "Liberal newspaper", that's quite enough information to me to assume that the use of the word "gang" here is racist slander.
However, I acknowledge that not everyone has a lot of experience reading this kind of media critically from the perspective I'm discussing, so I'm accepting that you were mistaken and weren't being racist. /genuine
Edit: to reply to your edit:
Fair enough!
Props for owning up to it. In the future, I find it helpful to refrain from speaking on topics you don't really know much about until you're willing to stand on that initial claim. Being able to admit fault is already a great step, but to go further it helps to reduce the number of times that that's even called for.
