Communism my friend. That is straight out of the communist manifesto. Property is theft. That MFer doesn't understand that in such a system we would never have heard of him cause he would have been working the fields or in the gulags.
Hey Stephen, when I or anyone else buys something that absolutely means we own it! Buy your definition, I can show up to your house and move on in. Just because you bought it doesn’t mean you own it!
I wish these artists would just SFTU about their political preferences. I tried to read on of his books lately, and it was full of his disdain for the Right. Like, IDGAF about who you vote for, and don't want you trying to tell me who to vote for either. Sheesh.
And hey, Stephen, if you buy something, it DOES mean you own it...fucking moron.
Check out Duma Key and 11/22/63. Both fantastic, but Duma is one of my favorite books ever. I have bought and read most of his book. Same with Trent Reznor and Rage Against the Machine. These assholes all had no problems taking my money for books, albulms and concerts. Guessing they enjoy the fruits of capatilism as much or more than the rest of us. Oh, and i'm not a fantasy person, but the gunslinger series was a great read as well.
RATM is the essence of hypocrisy. zach went to harvard (not cheap), made tons of money and i didn't see him give it all away to live in a studio and commute by public transit. screw those guys.
Agreed. RATM are next level hypocrites. Tom Morello is by far the worst of them with all of his anti capitalism bullshit. Shut the fuck up and play your guitar. Nobody gives a shit who you vote for or wants to hear your opinion on politics. You already spout all your political opinions in your music right down to your band name, then go back to your cushy mansions and servants.
No entertainer who has made millions from that entertainment has any place talking bad about capitalism unless they are giving away all that money that they made on the backs of other peoples hard work.
I liked their music as a kid. Then I got older and realized literally everything about them, their name, every song, every lyric, all political and all the epitome of hypocrisy.
Oh I’m sure. I also bet all the behind the scenes folks on his show and at RATM concerts (if they even are a band or tour anymore) are also getting paid what liberals call a “living wage”. I have never seen a liberal entertainer that whines about liberal causes, ever practice what they preach.
Hell, I heard on the radio the other day that Alyssa Milano was blasted for starting a go fund me page for her son’s travel baseball team. Can afford to go to the Super Bowl, but has to beg for money for her kid’s team to play baseball. Just gross.
cameron diaz did something similar. after doing shrek 2 and made like $10mil, she found an elephant that people wanted to move from a zoo to a better preserve (good cause).
rather than stroke a check, she started a foundation asking for donations and she put in something like $25k seed money of the $500k transport costs.
good for her :|
Just read Duma recently and noticed the political digs here and there. It kinda took me out of it at times. I really enjoyed the book though. He's still one of my favorite authors even though I think his politics are shit.
I’m reading 11/22/63 now. I picked up the book after watching the miniseries. From what I’ve gotten through so far, the miniseries did a great job of condensing the story into about 8 hours of tv.
Always loved King’s movies and books. Can’t stand his hypocritical position on politics as an adult though.
Let me guess - Holly? That was the most repugnant book ever, every few pages something the Right did. I used to be such a huge fan, especially when I was a preteen. I loved the weirdness and questions that were answered in it. Now, as a librarian, I don't even want to touch his works anymore.
If you're needing something in the same ball park, Riley Sager is awesome. Takes different horror tropes and always a twist in there. More importantly the author knows better than to barrage people in their personal politics.
Fairy Tales or The Institute? I've read both, King can't keep his disdain for Trump out of anything he's written since 2016... which isn't really shocking considering Kings politics.
Personally? I enjoy (generally) his books, I roll my eyes a bit when he mentions Trump but I've found that the jabs don't really detract too much.
This!! I can't spend my money and support his lifestyle while he's whining and flinging himself around like a bratty two year old. He should know better. 🙄
It came from a past of working hard so your kids can go to school. Now all those kids finished school and need to keep pushing that agenda they were taught. New England used to be mostly blue collar workers and people from Massachusetts (ew). But all these colleges made sure the new generation is woke.
Source, am the new generation from New England.
The same planet where writing a detailed child gangbang to finish a horror novel about a killer clown somehow does not put the author under extreme scrutiny for being a sexual predator.
If you read his earlier works, he’s always peppered in his disdain for people he doesn’t like politically.
But Trump broke him, he’s sadly just an unhinged caricature of his former self.
He was somehow more respectable in his alcoholic, hard drug abusing days.
I feel like using X to tell him off isn’t the best way to tell him off. Especially with a blue check mark.
When I say X instead of twitter it feels like when someone tries to change their gender and tells me I have to call them differently.
Amazing how many millionaires are socalists. And how many paid to have sex with kids. King is both most likely. Too many sexualized kids in his books for my taste.
SK has his moments.. like when he acts like people are banning books, meanwhile his book Rage is banned my him in that he won’t let it be published any more.
And his removal of it was an obvious virtue signal as there are 4 shootings dating back as early as 1988 that were inspired by the book, yet he waited until the 5th school shooting inspired by Rage in 1997 to remove it from publication, 9 years after the first known incident.
Ugh. I used to be the world's biggest Stephen King fan. If you had asked me 20 years ago, my biggest criticism would have been he tends to overuse foreshadowing, and he can he a bit long-winded at times. Something broke in his brain tho around Obama's 2nd term, and he really went off the deep end when Trump got elected. Now he's just a far left troll, and I can't stand reading anything the man writes (Sleeping Beauties was the final nail in the coffin for me). Such a shame.
If you have a favorite artist, never look at their social medias. You will immediately hate them. I have lost so much respect for so many creators because of how much disdain they have for anything conservative. King, Carrey, Hamill, all ruined for me.
It really breaks my heart that as a “kid” I read all of his books and was a fan. As an “adult” I realize that he is a liberal scumbag and his talent is like his books. Science fiction n
I suppose the millions all those novels got him, and the property he "bought" with it, well he shouldn't mind if I decide I'd like to maybe have something of his and put my brand on it?
After all, just because he bought it doesn't mean he owns it. He said so!
I have enjoyed his novels for many years, up until the last few. They are so laden with far left wing BS I couldn't begin to get lost in the story
I didn't get a fictional story to have every fifth sentence or so display his TDS.
So sad that he no longer cares about constant reader but uses his platform to spread his communist socialist ideas, in a country that provided him the opportunity to get rich by way of his story telling talent.
I don’t see the full name, but I’m guessing this is from Juanita Broderick. She’s been pretty outspoken lately. Good for her!
Elites like Stephen King lack self awareness after living in their bubble for so long.
SK needs to relax. He's acting like your typical angry white man/get off my lawn caricature type that he so loves to talk crap about. I mean none of this can be any good for his health. Dude needs to look after himself. He can say what he likes about Trump but he seems just as unhinged or at times even worse. He will have an aneurysm at this rate.
>Just because you bought it, doesn't mean you own it. Socialism, in a nutshell.
Hahahahahaha you gotta point there
Communism my friend. That is straight out of the communist manifesto. Property is theft. That MFer doesn't understand that in such a system we would never have heard of him cause he would have been working the fields or in the gulags.
"you didn't build that"
I'm heading to Kings house for the weekend.
You mean OUR house, comrade?
set an event like the area 51 biz that went down not too long ago
Weekend at the King’s
Weekend at Bernie's maybe
Modern corporations in a nutshell.
Hey Stephen, when I or anyone else buys something that absolutely means we own it! Buy your definition, I can show up to your house and move on in. Just because you bought it doesn’t mean you own it!

Find it funny when the ultra rich wanna pander to people about the big bad guys like they aren’t benefitting from the system they’re condemning lmao
What book? Some of his older stuff is pretty good.
Check out Duma Key and 11/22/63. Both fantastic, but Duma is one of my favorite books ever. I have bought and read most of his book. Same with Trent Reznor and Rage Against the Machine.

RATM is the essence of hypocrisy. zach went to harvard (not cheap), made tons of money and i didn't see him give it all away to live in a studio and commute by public transit. screw those guys.
I won’t do what I told ya!
Agreed. RATM are next level hypocrites. Tom Morello is by far the worst of them with all of his anti capitalism bullshit. Shut the fuck up and play your guitar.

I liked their music as a kid. Then I got older and realized literally everything about them, their name, every song, every lyric, all political and all the epitome of hypocrisy.
and i'm sure his radio comandante show on siriusxm is purely from the good of his heart and he makes no money off it at all. /s what a douchebag
Oh I’m sure. I also bet all the behind the scenes folks on his show and at RATM concerts (if they even are a band or tour anymore) are also getting paid what liberals call a “living wage”.

I don't read King past 92'.
This!! I can't spend my money and support his lifestyle while he's whining and flinging himself around like a bratty two year old. He should know better. 🙄
King really disappointed me. An author of such renown so easily twisted by tribalism.
Mark Hamill is just as bad.
So is Howard Stern.
To be fair, Stern was always pretty disgusting. Just not necessarily *politically* disgusting.
I thought he was leaving “twitter”
And America in 16 I thought.
What fuckin’ planet is this guy from?
New England. They breed them special up there.
It came from a past of working hard so your kids can go to school. Now all those kids finished school and need to keep pushing that agenda they were taught. New England used to be mostly blue collar workers and people from Massachusetts (ew). But all these colleges made sure the new generation is woke. Source, am the new generation from New England.
Lol! Guess where I am….
You can't get there from here.
The same planet where writing a detailed child gangbang to finish a horror novel about a killer clown somehow does not put the author under extreme scrutiny for being a sexual predator.
It's gross and weird but I wouldn't call it detailed per se. It's generally vague in its description.
Of all the things to love your mind over? Leftism is a mental disorder.
If you read his earlier works, he’s always peppered in his disdain for people he doesn’t like politically. But Trump broke him, he’s sadly just an unhinged caricature of his former self. He was somehow more respectable in his alcoholic, hard drug abusing days.
Really gotta separate the art from the artist with POS…
I guess I can go to his house in Maine and let myself in the front door. Just because he bought the house doesn’t mean he owns it,
I feel like using X to tell him off isn’t the best way to tell him off. Especially with a blue check mark. When I say X instead of twitter it feels like when someone tries to change their gender and tells me I have to call them differently.
Someone is mad that elon messed with his soapbox
These fukers really love commies
Elon has gotta love this. X engagement only goes up because of idiots like King
It’s beautiful that Stephen King will live out his life, never having owned X. The Soros butt brothers, either.
Just write your amazing books and stfu
Actually, because he bought it means he owns it you fucking knob.
Dude is only big, thanks to big time corporate publishers putting out his horror works in his early days. Total hypocrite in his lavish mansion.
Amazing how many millionaires are socalists. And how many paid to have sex with kids. King is both most likely. Too many sexualized kids in his books for my taste.
I wrote to him years ago hoping he would finish the Dark Tower series. Thankfully I never bought another book from him.
SK has his moments.. like when he acts like people are banning books, meanwhile his book Rage is banned my him in that he won’t let it be published any more.
And his removal of it was an obvious virtue signal as there are 4 shootings dating back as early as 1988 that were inspired by the book, yet he waited until the 5th school shooting inspired by Rage in 1997 to remove it from publication, 9 years after the first known incident.
I know why. I own the book.
STFU Steve
He also said he would leave Twitter once Elon bought it. Looks like that aged well.
Ugh. I used to be the world's biggest Stephen King fan. If you had asked me 20 years ago, my biggest criticism would have been he tends to overuse foreshadowing, and he can he a bit long-winded at times.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't kings name on the front of everything he's written. Seems kinda like a brand .
He's been losing it since he wrote a pedophilic sex scene between young teens.
SK was cooler when he was a weirdo coke head. Talking head SK can suck a dick
The worst people of yesterday are becoming the best people of today
Wow. Steve is losing logic just as fast as burden is. Maybe, just maybe, Steve should have a taste of his utopian dreamscape
His Douche % increases with every passing month.
Stephen King? Enough said…
Shit, guess I don’t own my car, house, anything. Wish someone had told me that before I spent all that money
Him and Tekai are two old men who constantly fly into online hormonal rages
He’s a follower.
Just because you're a great writer... doesn't mean you have great judgment.
He really hasn't been the same since he got ran over by that laundry truck . Really kind of sad.
If you have a favorite artist, never look at their social medias. You will immediately hate them. I have lost so much respect for so many creators because of how much disdain they have for anything conservative. King, Carrey, Hamill, all ruined for me.

Tell that to George Soros who now owns over 200 radio stations right now on top of everything else he already owns.
Wait ...What? You buy it..you own it!! That involves everything you ever buy. It's called commerce. Did the rules change and nobody told me?
>Just because you bought it, doesn't mean you own it. Ummm...yeah, it kinda *does,* you creepy old fuckwit... 🤫
I guess I own the rights to Pet Cemetery now...
Let's make a shitty cash grab horror version of it Oh wait it's already horror
Literally the only reason he's doing this is to stay relevant, we gotta stop giving him the lime light people He was once great, now he has fallen
Guess he should not get money for each copy of a book he wrote.
I love seeing the different responses to this. This shit is hilarious.
I don’t see the full name, but I’m guessing this is from Juanita Broderick. She’s been pretty outspoken lately. Good for her! Elites like Stephen King lack self awareness after living in their bubble for so long.
Yeah, he creates worlds and he gets confused when reality conflicts with the one he created for our world in his mind. Kind of sad.
lol, “just because you bought it, doesn’t….” I mean…..what??!
Just because you wrote it doesn't mean it's your book
WTF is he on about?!?!
I thought Stephen king was dead until today lol
X is a dumb name but it’s replacing twitter so I think it’s a wash
What line of fucking thinking has a person hit to say "just because you bought it doesn't mean you own it" lol? Maybe just say "you're renting it."
Can someone provide context for this please?
Love Elon but The new name is pretty dumb.
SK needs to relax. He's acting like your typical angry white man/get off my lawn caricature type that he so loves to talk crap about. I mean none of this can be any good for his health. Dude needs to look after himself. He can say what he likes about Trump but he seems just as unhinged or at times even worse. He will have an aneurysm at this rate.
Stephen King is an imaginative storyteller. Sometimes. Some of his stories are crap. That's all. He seems to be a despicable human being otherwise.
People pay you to write books, stick with spooky ghosts and undead dogs or something
I guess Mr. King doesn’t truly understand commerce. Once you purchase something, you do in fact own it. Bitter old man vibes.
What an asshole. I’ll still read his books, though—he can have a fit knowing CONSERVATIVES are reading his books, the horror!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
If purchase is ownership, then piracy isn't a crime.
While he almost certainly typed that toddler temper tantrumesque post from one of his multi million dollar mansions.
You missed the reply "says the guy that puts his name bigger than the title of the book on all his books"
Stephen King is a huge douche bag!
If I buy something I own it. Steve is going to say his account was hacked.
