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.

Have you spoken to anyone who didn't vote and really listened to them?
Many times. Although they are often drunk so maybe it doesn't count? Or maybe it's unfiltered and true. The folks who didn't vote really see all options as corrupt and want the end of this dumb story but they would pick the option that caused less pain if they were already in the booth.
I think in swing states, the turn out was greater than in 2020. Harris got more votes than Biden. But, obviously, Trump got more than Harris. People who sat out in 2020 came out for Trump. Following what you've shared, it's because they saw Trump as the option that caused less pain.
All of this makes sense to me. I don't know how the voters who sat out in 2024 would have otherwise come out for Harris.
