Apparently real Satire of satanic panic propaganda. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Before we had the transgender woke turning kids into violent far left anitifa terrorists, we had:

      Honestly, not to be an edgelord or anything, “God” sounds like a god damn fascist ‘himself’ and heaven is probably full of the worst people. I’d much rather side with the guy that dared to ask questions instead of just blindly following commands.

      Not that I’m religious, or a fan of monotheism in general. If I felt like needed that kind of magic and symbolism in my life, I’d much rather choose the old gods than upside down christianity, personally.

        you might enjoy Hazbin Hotel. Adam (in Heaven) is a narcissistic misogynistic bro abusing his power, while Lucifer (in Hell) is a goofball who collects rubber duckies and is a loving (if slacker) dad to his daughter (the protagonist.)

        Thats the judaochristian concept of God with all the “all knowing all controlling Lord Father King that will punish you forever if you infringe their arbitrary rules”

        Its a shame that western teenagers and disillusioned adults tend to rather reach for satanism as an edgey reactionary “dont actually believe it but want to visibly show I’m against the church” instead of breaking open eastern philosophy books and learning about concepts from things like Daoism or bhuddism. Not all concepts of the Divine are so super controlling arbiters of morality like what our popular religions over here try to sell us on.

    We always have something that is blamed for causing problems. Teaching evolution in schools. Dancing. Rock music. Shooting games. D&D

      Found one with a few more pixels.

      Seems to say, “If you or someone you know is addicted to marijuana call Domino’s (?) at (215) 721-1000, rent a tape, and enjoy!”

      Pretty strange wording. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a fake but I’m still not 100% convinced.

        You’re not 100% convinced that it’s a fake after it literally tells you to eat pizza and watch a movie as advice to deal with marijuana addiction?

        Honestly I think you got me with not putting a /s because clearly you must be joking but part of me also is like “maybe people are this dumb?”. But I think I’m the dumb one here

          Pizza

          Is that what the “Domino’s” was referring to? I didn’t even realise that, that’s why I put the “(?)” there, it didn’t sound like any kind of drug rehab lol. And I thought the tape was like some DARE or Reefer Madness type shit. Basically that this was someone trying to cash in on the Satanic panic.

          But with the simple context of pizza, the whole statement makes a lot more sense now lol. So obviously I’m dumb.

        The poster is just a movie reference. The photo of the kid smoking weed is from a movie called Hereditary and it only came out in 2018.

        I’m not sure I’d agree with how they frame what happens, though. Not because I think it’s an unfair characterization, but because that’s just straight up not how the movie goes.

    Looks more like a pipe to me. Get your terminology right if you want to impress anybody.

    And anyhow, when’s this from? The 90s? According to Reefer Madness cannabis was much more potent in the 30s. Good old times.

      Going by a reverse image search, apparently '70s or '80s. But I mean, you can’t believe everything you read on social media, especially with AI now. I’ve got no particular reason to doubt this though and if it’s fake, I’m sure sure I could find another one that’s just as ridiculous.

      It’s actually just one ridiculous thing to the next with society. From the red scare to the satanic panic to the gay agenda. Witches then are witches today.

    Now that the name Karen has been run to the ground, maybe it’s time to do the same for Peter.

    You know a Peter, right? Everyone knows one. There’s always someone who smokes a joint and gets the bright idea to burn down a church or whatever. Ugh. Everyday annoyance, am I right? Such Peter behaviour. Don’t be a Peter.

    Oh yes, this kinda thing was absolutely real. My parents were pushers of it. Maybe not this exact text, but there were pamphlets galore with similar wording, especially in the conservative christian crowds in the bible belt.

    Same people also love The Doobie Brothers, which makes this one even funnier.

    Wait but their Christian lore is wrong? Peter didn’t sacrifice his family, let alone to the devil. Abraham was asked to sacrifice his son to God, but then was stopped at the last second and afaik that’s the closest sacrifice to anything in the Bible

      I think Peter is the kid who smoked a marijuana, then joined a Satanic cult, then sacrificed his family. Not the biblical Peter.

      This is satirical anyway, as it turns out (not that there wasn’t propaganda like this).
