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.

Pretty sure ICE agents see it as they get to shoot rubber bullets and throw tear gas at people protesting racism. They aren't being forced to do it, they're being given permission.
All cops, dear
every time I say "abolish the police in all 50 states" I get ratio'd into obscurity
On .world, sure. There are probably bots there for that, if not all the users being turbolibs. this is a db0 community.
To clarify:
Skull fucking billionaires:
Necessary for the revolution, or gratuitously violent waste of time and waste of a good strap-on?
That's because law enforcement does need to exist in some form. Definitely not in its current state, but to say it needs to be abolished completely is a bad take.
I mean, unless you're fine with innocent people dying to vigilante justice.
You’re fine with innocent people dying in state justice?
I would rather see community defence or “vigilante justice” as your propaganda frames it over the systemic global cop crime, violence, and murder. I know which one looks out for the people and it ain’t the fucking bastards.
Bro, I straight up said that the current state of law enforcement is bad, but the answer isn't to abolish law enforcement.
And all you have to do is look at what Reddit did in response to who they thought was the Boston Marathon bomber to see why community defense is a bad idea.
To preface, I am agreeing with you and countering the person you're replying to.
There is a difference between abolish the police and abolishing law enforcement. Like it or not, there is ALWAYS something enforcing the laws. It might be the form of mob justice, vigilantes, local militias, gangs, a sheriff, neighborhood watches, the military, or some other state-sanctioned organizations, but there is always law enforcement. That does not argue for maintaining the police, but could still say that a force existing to enforce the laws exists. Heck, I think a police force isn't necessarily a bad idea, but that the current police force is staffed by people with a propensity for abuse, disdain for the people they are there to protect, and a willingness to escalate situations with violence at pretty much any turn.
You can argue for different forms of law enforcement, but it will always exist in some form. It's just that citizens need far more oversight and control over it because law enforcement is power that can easily corrupt.
It would be laughably easy to fix the police problem overnight.
Make unions pay for malpractice insurance on the cops. If they fuck up too much, premiums increase and the union drops them. That takes the financial burden of lawsuits for police misconduct off of the taxpayers too.
Are the bullets that killed those people made of rubber?
ICE in particular has people in the field that aren't getting paid.. they're volunteering because they want to hurt people without consequences
Why can't ICE and OIL have a TDM and leave others alone?
