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.

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.
Also remember, things are newsworthy because they're novel. US sees like 2 gun deaths per day and thousands due to insurance company malpractice, but this one death dominates newscycles.
Are you sure about that? NYC alone has around 1 murder per day, and I'd assume that most are gun related.
I am not sure at all. I might have been thinking of mass shootings instead :D
Depends on what you call a mass shooting. When we think "mass shooting", we're thinking of the Mother Jones sort in this pic.

There are about 50,000 gun deaths in the US every year, same as vehicular deaths. About half the gun deaths are suicides. About none of the vehicle deaths are.
I feel like you're trying too hard to defend US gun culture here.
People absolutely gloss over how dangerous cars are. I'd love a big push towards trains in the coming decades.
Anything I said untrue or biased?
Not every place is a valid platform for gun defense.
2 per day? Crazy....
In 2023, the average number of people who died from gun violence in the United States each day was 118. This is based on the 43,163 people who died from gun-related injuries in 2023.
2 per day, what are they smoking.
