Okay here's what you do. Tell her in person how much you appreciate all the hard work and everything you did okay? Make sure to take a look at her desk and see how her things are decorated takes a notes about the things that you think she's interested in. Then I want you to go home, put on your best slacks, get some mood lighting, adjust the room ambiance maybe like some candles, and take a real classy picture of your rear end. Just your rear end, really show off the goods. Get a good angle, make sure there's a little hump to it. A great great great picture of your rear end. Now, here's where it gets interesting

Anti-alt right. (With whom I usually agree)

Trying to point out that joining on the “look! Military academy kids flashed white supremacy signs! Kill them!” Bandwagon is playing right into a 4chan hoax designed to discredit the left, not unlike their fake gay blogs embracing pedophiles are meant to rile up the right against the lgbt community.

Apparently “you’re doing exactly what the alt right wants you to do... for the love of god this is what will get us stuck with 4 more years of trump” = “I am a white supremacist apologist.”

The decision to unban posters who were talking about using pipe bombs to blow up cattle pastures is some real next level inclusive stuff. I doesn't seem like it's gonna take long after Trump's reelection for the feds to make their annual visit to Mr.Kyankas house

Seriously.

I have learned.

I just really felt the need to correct the “no one has ever heard of the circle game” bc... uh... literally every male military person of any race I know has heard of that homoerotic poo poo show.

I mean. It’s fully possible they were using it as a wp sign, either sincere or trolling. But that’s an easy one to investigate. Interview dormmates outside of immediate peer group. “Hey. Ever see these guys slapping dicks?” You will get one of two answers. “Never” or “omg. All the drat time with that stupid game.”

Point remains, regardless. This is exactly what the OK hoax was designed to do, whether it’s been appropriated by real white supremacists or not. A bunch of people going “isn’t that just that ball slapping game?” And thinking the left has lost its mind.

And this is how we end up with more old white boomers getting their asses out of bed and giving us 4 more years of trump which, sadly, is where we’re headed.

No one is going to vote one way or another over this nonsense; particularly not over Something Awful posts discussing this nonsense. There were not statistically significant numbers of people voting for Trump in 2016 as a result of memes or alt-right trolling (despite what 4chan or reddit may think), and the tiny fraction of voters who know and care about that stuff are already committed strongly to one side or the other. It's all silly internet bullshit.

Anyone who doesn't know about the effects of fear, anger and tribalism on politics is probably suffering from them. There was an article in the Atlantic, I think, after the election where this overwhelming percentage of Trump voters reported feeling like "a stranger in my own country." Trump ran on a platform of fear and anger, and republicans have been doing it for 20 years claiming the left was [War on Christmas/War On religion/are freedoms/whatever/Obamacare/DEath PaNEls]. Anger at another target directly correlates to higher voter turnout.

The sentiment of calling their dumb game a Secret Nazi Illuminati Handshake may not leave the confines of SA, or it might, but to say that it hasn't affected a soul is just flat wrong. The government is literally investigating it, people are literally arguing over it and literally getting mad about it. And making the boomers mad about it means you're making more boomers vote. Its not silly to say, "making the boomers mad at liberals has no effect on voting" because it absolutely does. Contributing to the schism of tribalistic politics, even in a tiny way, is like buying another vote for trump.

That, interestingly, doesn't seem to have happened. Rather, permabanned poster Turtilicious[1][2] seems to have created a new account named Turtilicious. and to have just come in and said "it's cool, I explained everything"[3] and thought no one would notice. They were wrong.[4]
