    There’s gotta be a lot of ppl realizing they have tear gas immunity these days… (it’s fairly common, military basic training always has that one guy who’s unaffected).

      Also a lot of people realizing after the fact how much it tore up their bodies in ways that don’t ever get better. Chemical weapons are bad, whether it’s because they don’t work or that they have lasting side effects.

        Its fine. Dumping all this in the water and soil is fine. This is all fine.

          The government scientician says it offsets the microplastics.

        Wait a decade or two and see how your lungs react to that contamination. That exposure might have shortened your life by a few years or decades.

        Nah, they just bring you into a sealed room and light some CS pellets in a little stove. It’s usually in concentrations greater than what a typical CS grenade contains.

          Yes and no. Plenty of people have stories about learning to keep their mask quickly accessible. Shit like being on a 5 mile ruck, then 4 miles into it they get gassed by surprise. Usually only a few days after they have gone through mask training, so they should know to have their mask handy. But there are always inevitably a bunch of dudes rolling around with burning eyes, trying to dig their mask out of the very bottom of their pack.

      From what I heard it’s not actually a gas but very fine powder, so if you keep your eyes protected a.d don’t rub it it’s doable.

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.

  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.
