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.

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.

People who don't want copyright to exist have never created art people want to buy.
I agree it sucks that money is required for everything. But as long as we perpetuate this system it's better to not allow theft.
We should change copyright laws, but we do need copyright laws still.
I think you'll find a lot of artists who've been screwed over by record labels (who commandeer your copyright), as well as indie artists who release under CreativeCommons or Public Domain who would strongly disagree with you there.
It doesn't matter if people wanted to buy my photographs or not, I would never stoop so low as to charge someone for something I created. Everything I create is in the public domain, free to use not because I choose it to be, but because I cannot own it. How can you own art? Such a preposterous idea, perpetrated by weak-minded fools who debase art to be nothing more than a source of monetary gain. You disgust me by even insinuating that people would or should pay for my art.
And for the record, I'm not saying copyright should not exist. I'm saying it does not exist. You do not own the art you create any more than I own the art I create. Your art IS my art. I will not consider any other viewpoint, because such viewpoints are born from an immoral system and are therefore wrong.
Sorry you choose to make these excuses to steal from others.
I hope one day you will put in the time to learn how to do a real skill like real artists.
A “real” skill lmao. I would wager I’m a much better photographer than you will ever be, if I was to be so crass as to compare myself to someone else.
But that’s another difference between you and I, I make art for myself, and everyone else just gets to enjoy it as they want. My satisfaction however isn’t dependent upon other people seeing or appreciating my art. I don’t care what other people think about it, it’s an expression of my state of mind at that moment.
The opinion of others is of secondary concern at best.
If you were capable of creating your own art you wouldn't endorse the automated theft of others art.
Bye troll, learn to draw it's not hard you're just lazy and a shitty person
Oh no, you don't get to say "bye" to me. It's you who are unwelcome, and you've come here to our space to simp for capitalist nonsense. If you don't like what you're hearing, you can leave, bootlicker.
Bye bitch theif, learn a real skill
Make another account lol
Lol you got your account banned from the anarchy community, sayonara, bootlicking troll 🤣
Piracy is not stealing and never will be, seriously you sound exactly like those dumb anti-piracy people. If you somehow believe piracy is okay but training data isn't that's hypocritical and stupid.
I don't know why you think you're going to get any kind of support for pro-capitalist pro-copyright bullshit here.
