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

Can you quote the part of the post that claims the Democrats persecuted the students more than Trump persecutes the students?
Edit: rereading the post, I see that there is a potential ambiguity similar to the ambiguity in your first sentence.
The meaning of the post is the the democrats put more effort into putting down the protests than they put or are putting into putting down the current authoritarian rise to power.
It didn't mean that they put more effort into putting down the protests then the current authoritarian rise to power is or would put towards putting down the protests.
The post is literally this and it's false:
See my edit.
It's not remotely ambiguous, it's a single sentence with three nouns in a specific order of events.
Pretending that I didn't give both interpretations in that edit.
