Because they live in filth, and they are the symbol for gluttony. Also hard working? Do pigs work? So they do anything except eat and be eaten?

They live in filth only if we force them to. I mean yeah, pigs are nature's garbage disposal, people used to keep a pig, feed it table scraps, and they turn said scraps into bacon...

They also fertilize land and turn over poor soils turning substandard land into productive arable land in a hurry.

Pigs are hugely utilitarian animals for a human population and have been thought history

Once domesticated, yes, wild... boars are not fun

Domesticated pigs can quickly become not fun if they think they will get away with it.

Are you not aware of The Boars?

Have you seen what pigs that aren't kept in prisons are like?

They range extensively, they don't wallow in filth and shit.

How would you bshave in a cell without plumbing?

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

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
