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.

forces tariff
"Cmon guys, I can liberate you from these darn tariffs"
Canada is useless therefore I want it - Trump
far better military protection
From whom? Polar bears? Santa Claus?
Yeah fuck Trump, but also please take a geography lesson.
Emus naturally. They already won the war against Australia
"Nice country you have there. Would be a shame if something happened to it" -Trump probably
Just claim random insane bullshit that be easily disproven by a 5 year old, and don't worry about it because the conspiracy theory and maga idiots will eat it up. You're always right, remember?
You have infinite Energy? enough wood?
Pay your workers! let people have houses!
let them take breaks, give them affordances!
let people have houses
Have you seen the house prices in vancouver?
Have you seen Trudeau claiming Canada has unlimited energy?
Him specifically? no. but Canada is the fourth largest producer of crude oil, and fifth largest producer of natural gas. Functionally they do have unlimited energy
How stupid can one single person be? And he is considered a valid person to be a president?
I think the orange Cheerios still does not understand tariffs. Right now Canada isn't paying any tariffs on imports, the people in the US n the other hand are paying tariffs on Mexican, Canadian, Colombian, Chinese .... products.
More like he knows his base doesn't understand tariffs, and when they make things worse they'll believe it when he blames somebody else
If you have unlimited oil (?) why are you getting so salty about having to buy it from Canada ?
Exactly... just cut off the pipelines. That'll will surely make the liberals cry.
.....is this a real thing...? Was this actually officially posted...?
I genuinely can't tell anymore.
Everything hurts.
I had the same thought... What the fuck bro this is insane
I had to scroll through a lot of bullshit to find it, but it is real https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/113934520197790682
If we don’t want anything Canada has, why want them as a state? Why tariff their useless goods?
So fucking stupid.
ok thank you
I appreciate your effort

Is Canada supposed to be afraid of a country that couldn't defeat Vietnamese rice farmers and Afghan goatherders?
I mean, the US military absolutely can and will roflstomp traditional governments and heirarchies. Both the Taliban (2001) Saddam's gov't were steamrolled. The followup of holding territory and "winning hearts and minds" is where they fall on their face.
And this threat really seems to be for the Canadian government and 'elite' rather than the people.
Yep. The US sure starts with a great big hard-on. But always always gets limp and cannot finish.
I think this is less a question of Canada being afraid of America and more a question of the US/Canadian working class being terrified of a bunch of hotheads feeding the rest of us into a military meatgrinder to assuage their bloated egos.
To paraphrase the legendary boxer Mohammad Ali when he refused enlistment to the Vietnam War, "I Ain't Got No Quarrel With Them Canadian Mounted Police".
FYI he is probably using the word subsidy when he really means the phrase 'trade deficit' which is less than $100b actually.
But he's an idiot buffoon with no business leading out on the economics of a small village not to mention the largest economy in the world.
Largest economy... for now

losing healthcare surely is worth all that !
Not to mention they actually pay the same amount in taxes. At least until higher incomes.
Do you want Canada to pivot to China? Because that's how you get Canada to pivot towards China... I think.
I'm just a dumb tropical dweller from the deep south, so I will not pretend to understand Canuck politics or the whims of their people, but history shows that even liberal, democratic nations sometimes turn to tyranical regimes for protection against bigger threats. See Finland during WW2.
Something, something, enemy of my enemy...
As far as I've watched across the world, when China gets angry or antsy they shoot down a canadian Fighterjet or two and then everything is "alright" again.
Because they cant really provoke the big, fat second-grader, so they bully the teeny-weeny 3rd grader to the north.
Following that, Canada would do hell before joining hands with the Chinese of all...
Canada is delaying the bulk of their retaliatory tariffs for 3 weeks specifically to give Canadian companies to find alternative sources.
Canada's population is roughly 1/10 of the US. I also suspect that a decent portion of the deficit is due to things like Caterpillar manufacturing tractor tracks in Canada and improving to the US for assembly.
Canada will find alternatives or live without most things imported from the US and will likely not go back if the tariffs would be lifted.
No one wins a trade way, but I think Canada could be in a better position in the end. And it won't be because they become a state.
The US soy farmers still haven't gotten all their customers back from Trumps last trade war. Once we find a new supplier, why go back to such an untrustworthy one as the US?
iirc the US only has a deficit because they buy so much of our crude at a SUBSTANTIAL DISCOUNT, hence the only 10% tariff on crude.
I am just glad we have an adult at the helm here, for the time being.

Fuck it. Close the borders. We good.
Let the queer folks come over first plz, we promise to be good Canadians.
Canada has always been refuge / safe haven for America's downtrodden, starting with African victims of their transatlantic slave trade.
The Fugitive Slave Acts, passed by Congress in 1793 and 1850, mandated the capture and return of escaped enslaved people to their owners, even in free states. The 1850 law was particularly harsh, denying accused fugitives the right to testify or have jury trials. Federal marshals faced $1,000 fines for non-enforcement, while anyone helping escapees faced six months imprisonment and fines. The law prompted fierce Northern opposition and drove approximately 15,000 free Blacks to flee to Canada.
Of fucking course!! If you can get to Ontario and need help getting settled/staying here please DM me. All queer folx are welcome at my house and in my country!!

I've played enough Civilization to know that Aluminum is pretty important.
less like "Lebensraum" and more like an attempts at "Anschluss"
Let's all become vassal states of Orange land.
... Oh wait, yeah, hard pass.
I'm pretty sure that Canadians wouldn't mind closer ties to the Netherlands.
