Seize the Memes of Production
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

That's not the same as contributing to a more just human future. The mindset explicitly embraces the idea that there is no worse state possible than the current state of affairs - which the lives of some several billion people might disagree with. "Pure negation" necessarily implies negation of all institutions of current society - and combined with the idea that "There are no demands to be made... no political programs to be followed" it's not much more than a parody of nihilism taken seriously.
On top of that, if it was sincere, it would be immediately and violently insurrectionist; if it's insincere, then it's just an excuse for any antisocial behavior without regard for consequences.
When I suggest throwing molotovs might not be a bad idea, I do so with the presumption that the people throwing molotovs have demands, a vision, or a political program. The idea that "Society bad, therefore, any attack on society GOOD!" is not only Manichean idiocy, but intuitively repulsive when any of the actual consequences of purposeless and targetless attacks are actually considered.
