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.

Yes, but ftr, there's already a film with this premise.
Some 2010's pseudo-thriller with Justin Timberlake that had a super generic name like "On Time" that I can't quite remember. I don't know if it's any good, because one really stupid line from the trailer I recall "4 minutes for a cup of coffee?!" with the most lackluster delivery still lives rent free in my head, and I couldn't bring myself to watch it lol
Its a fun movie if you don't take it too seriously
It was okay.
It's a good film, the premise is enough to make it good honestly. As films go, it could be better on all fronts, but they got their message across: That billionaires control all this shit extremely thoroughly, to the point that a society based on this mode of currency can never get better. Because as soon as living standards might improve for anyone, prices rise across the board to keep people where they are. And that poor people are deliberately kept devoid of choice so as to keep them poor, no matter how hard they work.
It occupies the exact same category as 'Elysium' in my mind - cool setting with an amazing and insightful premise. And an.. average execution. I can enjoy a film like that better than the other way around.
I mean spoilers but
they eventually rob whole banks and realise that's not enough close to enough, that the issue is systemic. The writing then fails a bit because they still think the answer is just one big heist away.It's not really the premise. Kind of the opposite.
The name was In Time so you were damn close.
Should have been called Justin Time
