I'm thinking about those people from Autistici/Inventati in the same list of ISIS. They have been killed from a civilian perspective: no bank accounts, no loans, no cards and not even utilities will ever be given again to them.
Bit of a tangent, but I really hope European payment solution Wero succeeds, so that MasterCard/Visa no longer dominate the European credit card market.
I assume Americans don't fully realise this, but as a non-American you're often confronted by the many small ways (corporate) America enforces its cultural and political mores on the rest of us.
It's especially tiresome when you're then confronted with Americans telling you to be grateful for your continued quasi-vassalage, or even that you've been profiting off America's beneficence.
I welcome Wero, but I think it doesn't stop there. The US government says "if you work with their members then we put sanctions on you" that's why Italian banks with an Italian circuit (Bancomat) still can't provide these people with what they need
I hope they have family they can stay with
CIA handler said no more. (I keeps selling/recycling the bomb making matetal they give me.)
I haven't been paid in years. When that check finally clears I'll buy myself a data center.
If you think about it it's a lot like owning a farm.
But they have!
If you're in a revolutionary group of any kind, never forget that the money and weapons you receive likely has strings attached, strings that you are unaware of. (see history of KKK and The Weather Underground, for example).
USA smuggles weapons all over the globe, they have been doing this since the Brown Bess rifle. Odds are very good they will be somewhere in any supply chain.
Other countries have their own version of the CIA (much smaller, of course). They may very well provide weapons and money, often, that was provided to them by other sources (usually the CIA for some reason, yes, the CIA arms many groups that are enemies of the USA).
In the CIA's defence, they also sell weapons simply to make money, no strings attached.
Obviously, they then use that money to avoid congressional and democratic oversight and perpetuate evil.
Bit of a tangent, but I sometimes wonder if the Banana Republic clothing store was a CIA psy-op to ensure the American people didn't read too much about actual banana republics and the role of American empire.
I get money both from Putin and from Obama.
Highest bidder boiiiisssss
All these psyops to activate me as a stochastic element to further the imperialist agenda and none to give me ~~rent~~ safehouse money 😞
I'm gonna have to turn to femboy camming on OF at this rate for the actual operational expenses...
Hey, wait a minute, that's another psyop isn't it?
Hey man, the economy is in shambles, budget cutbacks and all that.
oof, cant you guys just sell some more crack or smth? 🥺🥺🥺
Man no one can afford cocaine or crack anymore!we were surviving by supplying tons of ketamine to musk but honestly he got so fucking evil even we had to admit maybe we crossed a line somewhere.
well shit
As one of the main leaders of antifa I get my financing mainly from grannys and their generous birthday cards and we source our arms from uncles and granddads who “lend” us their guns and forget to take them back, often in very unexpected states mostly Mississippi Arkansas Idaho and Oklahoma where
Contingency?
No, money down!
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.

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.
Join the matrix room for some real-time discussion.
