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

Doing things which are allowed and fine, both morally and legally. Like crafting things and selling for a fair price.

Disagree. Using currency isn't ethical. It supports capitalism, and in most countries it requires you to pay taxes, which are then used to do bad things by the government. There's no ethical consumption under capitalism. A better example of something legal and legitimate would be giving someone a hi-five.

This highlights a point which I did not make explicit: What we see as legitimate or not is a personal, subjective judgement.

I agree giving a high5 is less controversial, although I guess if we search hard enough, we find someone with some argument about why that's also a bad thing (maybe tied to historical and cultural context, purely guessing).

Overall I'm happy my point was still understood as it was meant to be, although and despite the disagreement about that example.
