Flippanarchy
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.

No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Yeah, but if these people were truly masters of long-term thinking, they wouldn't be spending all their time ruining the economies upon which their wealth is predicated.
You say that, but if you have a large cache of cash, economic crashes are just opportunities to buy assets at a bargain.
Up to a point yes. However, if the majority of your 'wealth' is not liquid and bound up in a stockmarket that no longer exists, you're going to have a hard time leveraging it. Similarly, what liquid wealth you have is only as valuable as the form it takes. Your dollar bills in a hyper-inflationary scenario is going to have more values as toilet paper than as a means of exchange, and your gold is no good if there are no one around willing to exchange anything for it. You can eat gold, but the nutritional value is somewhat dubious.
That's why I specified having cash, and buying assets.
they get millions in cash per week
Quit licking boots. You think banks will stop loaning money to musk if Tesla stock crashed? Trump has been bankrupt multiple times, it's a big club and you ain't in it.
They only have those things as long as we honor the social contract and I think we’re all hoping for a collective flipping of the rigged monopoly game soon
That's what I said dixkhead.
Watch who you're calling a bootlicker. You talking to a guy who've never taken a loan, made use of credit or had an insurance policy. And I dare say banks will stop loaning money to Musk when they have no fucking money.
That's what you think boot licking is?
I think bootlicking is bowing down to the (unreasonable, amoral or unethical) demands of someone who considers themselves the master or owner of other people whether that's you or someone else, and that this can take many forms and have many motivations, precisely none of which are acceptable or excusable. I cannot think of a single form of it that has been characteristic of my life, and so I'd kindly ask you to use that term for someone who deserves it instead of me. I suggest the nearest MAGA adherent or Russian. Thanks.
But that econony they keep treating like a pinata actually does things. Or did. Like, it was for something.
They need to be found and taxed.
Any crashes really...
They're so busy building survival bunkers....
I fully approved of this. Then just cement over all the exits when they have closed the hatches and forget about them
All one would have to do is find the air filtration vents.
Cement!
Or airborne pathogen.
Cement is less complicated.
I was thinking community toilet
I think it's very civic-minded of them to hole up in a static position so we know where to find them.
50% they're going to leave for mars because it's a tax-free haven.
I wouldn't be opposed to that outcome either.
me neither :)
