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

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  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.

Stephen King trying to make us forget that he defended Trump's efforts to avoid releasing the Epstein Files.

The "preeteen orgy is the crucial plot point of my book IT so I need to describe it with horrendeus amounts of detail" guy. Defended. An actual pedophile who tried to protect his pedophile human trafficker friend.

Is there any evidence of this?

Good grief, did schlump REALLY post that about Obama's presidential center??

Stephen King is good people.

Didn’t he write child porn into it?

Cocaine is a helluva drug

Ehh, kinda. Are we talking about Carrie? You gotta remember how much cocaine he was doing. We have lost the technology to humanly consume as much coke as Stephen King in the early 80's through whenever he wrote the 4th Dark tower book.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, we're talking about IT and the child sex scene.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Oh right, I do a good job of forgetting about that most days.

Usually they're talking about the preteen chain in It, but he's done a lot of them so who's to say?

I don't think it was that way though. Ever read twilight? That book was sexy and involved some underaged characters. 50 shades of grey was worse.

The weird part in IT is written in a way where you almost don't fully understand what they're doing kind of. It's not very sexy. A theme in the book too is being a child and experiencing predators

I just looked up the end of the book, it's pretty damn implicit in talking about their body parts and all the boys taking turns having sex with her.

Ctrl-f and read from 'Love and Desire / August 10th, 1958' down.

I've read the book. I didn't find it that out of whack or inappropriate.

The scene of her dad chasing her down the street asking to check her cunny felt more insane tbh.

Caving in to pressure does not make one a bad person.

Love his boomer lib memes.

Isn't he in the Epstein files?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Nah that was what they call a lie. It's honestly kind of surprising that he wasn't on the list of "random celebrities brought in to lure in paying billionaires" though, it's ironically the best defense of his infamous "It" child train scene that he isn't.

[–] tio_bira@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

He make that odd post on Twitter back on the begining of the epstein case, i always liked his and Joe Hill books, but since the "neil gaiman incident" i have been suspicious about a lot of celebs...

I want to visit the Obama Library. I served when he was President and things were a lot better under him and Biden than Trump by a wide margin. We really didn't know how good we had it.

Feels bad man...
