The POGGERS emote is an excited Pepe frog face so if you're from the side of the internet that sees Pepe as an alt-right icon, I guess it's an alt-right thing. There are a lot of Pepe emotes ingrained into Twitch culture though and nobody really sees them as political, they're just silly expressive frog faces. On another note, Alister Jack is a loving ghoul and I seriously hope the SNP take our constituency back from him ASAP.

Guavanaut posted:It's a twitch thing, but it wouldn't surprise me if the alt-right also use it as well as the terminally online woke left where that meme came from. The Pepe frog icon was taken from Twitch as well as from other places. Twitch is a standard Internet community using normal memes, and when Pepe was pulled from there a lot of people wanted it back so they did - it's usually called monkaS now. There's also three billion varieties of Pepe altered to the themes of individual streamers, and I'm pretty sure there's a hybrid variant called frogChamp.

Ms Fuchi posted:Absolutely. Jeremy is the most successful opposition leader ever, at least in terms of handing defeats to the government. Why drop him just because the Tory press don't like him? To be fair both teresa may and david cameron thought he should step down as well! If you can't trust your political enemies to give an honest assessment of your performance, while they are stepping down in disgrace, who can you trust?

Old internet (ca 1995-2000) felt very socialist/anarchist in the circles I was frequenting. Even among the tech nerds. Perhaps especially among the tech nerds.

I looked up the origins of pogchamp/poggers recently because I had to explain to my manager why our youngest programmer says 'pogchamp' when he's excited about something. It's silly. A streamer won a pog tournament and his expression of triumph was funny enough to turn into an emote. That's it.

I'm sure this is a dumb idea, but I'm not sure why: Caroline Lucas caretaker prime minister. She seems well respected (by everyone other than Tories) and as an MP in a party of one she's not going to cause a weird power struggle. It would also mean that none of the main party's would "unfairly" benefit by briefly being in power. Though I'm sure the Lib Dems would oppose.

I watched Owen Jones at the Tory conference and it's just full of withering husks of people. Also quite interesting that all the young Tories at least seemed aware of how the wider public sees BoJo while all the older ones were fully on board with his absolute madness. Also felt quite sad for the one woman who said she couldn't count the number of men who had made unwanted advances on her and thought it was normal
