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.

Saw that the other version didn't use gender neutral or gender inclusive language. And the quality was pretty shitty tbh.

I used the latest comparable data for work related deaths I could find without much effort: Source.

I added the profession of sex workers even though the available data is not really comparable, but I rated "Lifetime prevalence of [..] workplace violence ranged from 45% to 75%" as probably more dangerous than the ~0,1% yearly death rate of logging workers.

TL;DR: Organize at your workplace to enforce safety standards and maybe establish new ones so less workers die.

"Last Place Douche Bag" making fun of cops that claim to have the most dangerous job when there are many jobs that are way more dangerous.

It's even less dangerous in most countries that hold training and acceptance to a police service at a high regard.

Great job updating this!

I wonder if these rankings are consistent across countries (ignoring countries where the job simply does not exist, like for instance and as a strong assumption, there is not much logging in Egypt.)

Most likely the rankings are similar but not the same. I think regions with better work safety standards can have way lower injury/death rates in all or atleast some of these professions.

Your source puts Landscaping Workers in the top 5.

I wonder if that includes the guy I watched across the street yesterday 50 feet up a tree with a chainsaw and a rope

I would have 100% thought Firefighters would be under the top 3 or so.
