Semper Shitpost Ubique

If the political climate was different and ID Politics wasn't the zeitgeist, what kind of articles would BuzzFeed, Vox, etc. write? I see that they're cashing in, would that work if say socialism was the main millennial politic?

If you're not willing to lick the boot, then really why are you in politics lol? Everything is a cycle of just getting stomped on so why do you want to lose to it over and over, just submit like me, I'm very intelligent.

I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with a publication expressing a political viewpoint in and of itself.

IMO if your community manager knows that Pepe exists but is unaware of what Pepe means these days then the/she should probably be fired for being totally out of touch with the internet.

yea I'm not sure why we laugh at poo poo like Tucker Carlson losing his poo poo because someone he was arguing with about trump also wrote about thigh high boots but then pretend like Teen Vogue telling its mainly young female market that hey the crazy misogynist weirdo is probably a dick we should make fun of and talk about is somehow bad.

Pepe is a cartoon frog who reflects the true desires of the viewer.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Publications which explicitly express an agenda are the only ones worth listening to, any source of news or opinion which claims to be neutral (Fair and balanced) is useless poo poo.

She also used the opportunity to slam Wendy’s for mistreating the farm workers who harvest vegetables used in the chain’s products.

pepe is the millenial Rorschach test

Internet memeticists at the CDC have recently confirmed what many have long suspected: For the first time, we have observed a viral meme evolving mechanisms of 'attack' towards other memes. The retroviral strain pepe_altr_trump_2016, if it fails to take hold on a host, elicits a severe immune system response to all other pepe_* strains in that host. This effectively 'locks out' competing strains from being able to spread in exposed populations, even if they are not pepe carries themselves, resulting in a huge competitive advantage. Memetic scientists theorize that this will eventually lead to the extinction of all other pepe_* strains. Indeed, some even assert this is already effectively the case, with only small, isolated pockets of halo trolls and social media managers still remaining as carriers of the non-virulent strains.
