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 !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

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 joke, but how do you start? At this point I need a guide, walkthrough for community building. Literally, how do we even start if people are fucking trapped in their day to day responsibilities to survive capitalism. Looks like nobody got time for that. I feel we are all NPCs following our daily routines, unable to break character.
You're right that it's hard, and that it's kind of a "put on your own mask before helping others" scenario. If you're just barely holding on, you're right, you may not be well-positioned to provide help. And in that case, the critical priority for you should be to get out of that situation first. Easier said than done, I know.
But, take heart! There are skills and habits and such you can build along the way that play to your own strengths and which will be useful if things get truly gnarly. Starting on them several years ago would have been better than starting on them today, but starting today is better than starting tomorrow.
I had this big exhaustive list (in a Lemmy comment thread) of things to pick and choose from to try to slowly get better at - it's since been deleted! I'm working on tracking that down so I can provide it here, it was seriously useful (and heartening, in the way it shows how we can all contribute due to the wide range of things needed).
