Performing as progressives and then using poor and fat as insults for republicans. That just tells good people who are fat or poor that you see them as lesser (thelemmy.club)

blud is gonna crash out at toddler calling them or someone else fat and stinky with that "fatphobic" point lmao

But seriously, there certainly is a degree of classism and elitism - I remember there was a quite popular post after Trump got elected that basically showed how if people with higher education only were allowed to vote, then Kamala would have won, and the comments went how you'd expect them to go. The sentiment can still be found today in lib news threads, though they are much rarer since Republicans are no longer the hot topic and now it's ICE or whatever.

Though to be fair, it probably has less to do with them hating the poor, obese or people who didn't go for education for any reason and it's just a product of the team sports politics bullshit the vast majority are knee deep in. Gotta cheer your side and throw any insult you can think of at the other!

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

Rules

  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
