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

The fact that NOW, when attacking the DNC leadership for their explicit choices of benefiting themselves that unnecessarily led to Trump getting elected has no electoral consequences, you are here raging against non-voters instead, disproves your excuses for not criticizing them.

If indeed too close to the election would've been a bad time (but that excuse didn't apply earlier, such as a year ago) NOW is exactly a consequence-free time to be tearing a new one on those Democrat leaders for all they failed to do and all their choices that benefited nobody but themselves and ultimately helped bring Fascism to America, but instead you repeatedly choose to attack the near-powerless non-voters for not getting in line with the wishes of the very leaders who were betraying those values they claimed to uphold and who, for their own personal upside maximization, did not do all that it would take to achieve that which they loudly claimed was the most important thing to achieve - "Stop Trump!"

In the subservient mind there are always excuses to "get in line" with the wishes of the leadership and your "I'm powerless" style of (finally, after much prodding!) criticizing the DNC whilst excusing yourself for doing nothing about it, further betrays that deep down your mindset is of "yielding to your betters" and turning against the peasants who didn't do the same.

PS: Your ability to read me is so bad you have failed to notice from my use of British expressions that I'm not an American. All this time you've been "seeing" in me that which made you feel better about your own choices. It is telling that in your mind you had to frame me as an American non-voter defending myself from your righteous anger, when I am in fact an outside observer watching a willful puppet to one side of the political propaganda in America attacking on command a minor guilty party to avoid point the guilt of the far, far more guilty people holding their strings.

There are two kinds of muppets in America, one dangling on the strings of Trump and the Republican Party leadership and another dangling on the strings of the Democrat Party leadership and it's thanks to both that America was always condemned to Fascism, sooner or later, with the Republicans turning ever more Facist whilst their muppets cheered it and the Democrats hugging them tightly a tiny, tiny (oh so tiny) bit to the left whilst their own muppets shout "we have no other choice" and "vote us to stop the other guys".

Mark my words, with the Republicans trying to distance themselves from the Democrats by going even deeper to the Right, turning ever more Fascist, and the Democrats in close pursuit of them deeper into the Right, Trump isn't the worst president America is going to get and you, mate, busy fighting those who wouldn't go along with that political play, are part of the problem, not of the solution.
