    I know this is supposed to be a feelgood thing but I just can’t get over the underlying dystopian bullshit that is having to be able to afford medical bills.

    So if it wasn’t for a child’s celebrity, we would have let his father die. What a feel-good story.

    Glad this is the case but god DAMN if it isn’t sickening and so stupid that people have to crowd fund life saving medical procedures. Completely embarrassing for this country.

      Yeah, but God forbid we have government provided healthcare. That would be socialism…

        I just LOVE that everyone you describe socialism to (without the label) is in agreement. But then you tell them that that’s what socialism is, and suddenly they’re against it.

    What if instead of asking each other for money for health issues we just took a little money from everyone and some for business so we could all afford healthcare?

    Has anyone ever tried that?

      We tried that. The government took the money and spent it on bombs instead!

        Yep. And of course the most efficient way to provide everyone in the country with good healthcare is to have one big co-op.

    How did he make any money from the meme? It’s not like you pay to rent it when you want to make a post.

      If a meme template becomes viral, the person in the template becomes famous. He probably used the fame to bring attention to his dads surgery

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.
