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.

Nah. Not if the damage is so subtle you don't even notice for a while.
Realy what's worse: A mild ache that takes you a month to get checked out? Or an open femur fracture that'll bleed out in an hour?
I think you're underestimating the potential suffering of a chemical attack that activates every nerve in your body.
Its effects are still more isolated. You can get a little closer with shit like dioxins, but youre confusing momentary emotionally impacting easily comprehensible spectacle with total harm, which can keep happening and have nth order effects so many degrees out. Populations and centuries. Chemical weapons cannot turn you and your grandchildren to erasing evidence you ever existed even when they turn your bones to acid soup and dissolve you from the inside.
Dying of horrible neurotoxin happens to a person, its direct. Its easy to empathize with, easy to attribute, easy to understand, easy to be afraid of. Its an attack of spectacle. If it was more devastating than blowing people up, more militaries would use it.
Not even close. Again I think you're underestimating the level of pain a human body can experience.
lets just agree to disagree here. have a nice day
