I feel like the American version of this is Down Rodeo.
Yeah I’m rollin’ down Rodeo wit a shotgun
These people ain’t seen a brown skin man
Since their grandparents bought one
Safaris can be dangerous, so, bring a gun.
... for self defense, of course.
The lyrics of that song go so hard
We need this
Can confirm that this works. I have a job that takes me into the deep dark reaches of Brentwood, CA, and that's probably turned me more away from capitalism than anything I've ever read on Lemmy, lol.
Brentwood in norcal or socal? The one in in norcal is a middle class exurb afaik, idk about socal
So Cal, it's near The Getti if you're ever passing via 405. Quite a few gated mansions, although it's not quite as high as Bel Air which is adjacent.
Growing up my parents had a close friend who was fairly wealthy who would bring a couple friends with family to semi-annual vacations, and one time when I was around 15 he brought us to his condo in Naples, Florida. He took us out on his boat into the beautiful mangroves with manatees and fish and birds and all kinds of wildlife, and then we hit the mazes of colossal personal mansions that turned out much larger than the mangroves. And as we boated through that maze and they fawned over how pretty the mansions were, they mentioned that decades ago when they were like 20, the land that all of those mansions and roads stood on was more endless mangroves. All the wildlife I'd just been shown was the last gasp of an incredibly vibrant and rare ecosystem actively being raped by the ultra wealthy, and these dense motherfuckers on the boat didn't see an ounce of the horror of it. That moment probably radicalized me more than almost anything.
Turns out much of Florida is just like that now. The whole state is a fucking tragedy.
Did you ever went back, now radicalized, to #landback?
This wouldn’t work in the US, some cripple with lead poisoning is gonna think he can become a billionaire too and vote for a guy who fucks couches recreationally
Is there an actual source for this? I did a quick search and didn't find anything but I can't search Swedish texts.
Swede here, it acutally made it to the news some years ago!

Here is from a quite bad newsoutlet, (currently getting ivestigated for forcing cookies on you, you can bypass it with other websites I think)

And here is thier own webiste:

They don’t mention it by name, but to be honest I assumed from this it to be real (fits their mo), if there are swedish comrades saying otherwise i will stand corrected though (and in the tweets replies people didn’t dispute it). I suspect this was around 2012-14, at the edge of occupy/davos/g8 protests
It was real and pretty successful too. I remember old media writing about it and being upset. They got a lot of attention for not a lot of investment.
Can you bring back trophies in that Safari?
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.
