Flippanarchy
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

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

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 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.

That is because Scrooge wasn't written bij actual rich people. So of course he knows nuance.
Scrooge is, if you want to be really, really picky about it, a racist stereotype. Why is Scrooge even Scottish? Because the Scots have long been stereotyped as stingy and thrifty and always looking for a cheaper option or deal. If you watch older media you will inevitably run into that stereotype. The first proto-Scrooge was in a 1943 Donald Duck cartoon about making sure you had enough money to pay your taxes for the war effort. Basically it was a fight between the 'spendthrift' and the 'thrift' to either blow his cash away or use it responsibly. He was the thrift in that film.
Also canonically, Scrooge is dead. He's been dead since the 1960s. He lived to the age of 100, born in the 1860s and died in the 1960s.
