      Slight correction

      An SDF spokesperson denied that the group is an official member of the coalition

      Though I am nevertheless impressed.

        FYI the SDF is not Islamic, it’s a left-wing coalition led by Kurdish people.

          That is cool. Generally being in an Islamic region is threatening but these are militias, not exactly lynchable.

          A ‘left-wing’ coalition that worked with the US to undermine the Syrian government, and then got wrecked by the ISIL splinter group that came to power. But I don’t think they had much of a choice in the matter.

            Yeah, Assad was such a great guy and should totally still be in power

              No no he had weapons of mass destruction (source: US) and Syria needs democracy stability. Don’t look too deep into the history of the new puppet, I mean, president.

                Yeah, Assad definitely wasn’t a puppet. The massive russian base and the fact he fled straight to russia was just a coincidence. His legacy of torture and secret prisons was totally just western propaganda too, they were actually wellness spas.

                  Oh no, he was a Russian puppet and he was definitely jailing his opponents. He’s no saint. But minorities weren’t getting massacred and women had some rights. Now there’s an US IS guy in charge and it’s going about as well as you’d expect.

                    Do you have any sources on this? I knew he was formerly(?) Islamic state, but it seemed like the country was becoming more stable (fascist israeli invasion aside).

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 [email protected]

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.
