The point is that this is targeted to the alt-right, who damn well know about the meme. They also know what Alex Jones and that asswipe Milo iwetmypants look like. It's classic Roger Stone, who gets to portray himself as a co-equal deplorable. This was no innocent mistake by a unwary intern. |
That's kind of what DW said. She said those NBC guys don't know anything. |
| I've seen Pepe in a lot of despicable things. None specifically racist. Misogynistic yes. Beta uprising yes. Terrible yes. So...that it could be used in racist memes, sure.... I just think it's more despicable than specifically racist. |
| What is a beta uprising? |
|
Yes, he has been appropriated by the white nationalists. Read this account of how it happened: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/05/26/how-pepe-the-frog-became-a-nazi-trump-supporter-and-alt-right-symbol.html |
Where to begin? They're the misanthropic, antisocial types who like to post anti-Hillary screeds on DCUM and who resent high-functioning members of society with normal social skills. |
Yep. I was the pp who warned of the rabbit hole before. Motivations behind umpqua shooter and the la shooter (sorry, again, I can't remember exactly where..he was the young guy who posted the video about how no women liked him, so he would kill them) Basics: Chad = jock, well adjusted, football type. Gets all the women even though he's a bastard to them Beta = them. Live to sit in dark rooms playing on the computer and watching porn. Can't get a girl to like them even though they are "nice." (Not) They don't care what you think. The have low self esteem, possibly for good reason, but they think society rejects them because of this. Women = all the same. Should be a lower class and should be hot. Beta uprising = the way it is now is chads rule. They get all the money, women, jobs. They think one day that it will be upturned. They will use violent means to make it happen. They will finally violently take all the women bc all chads will be gone. Everything they post is *sick* |
| They use Pepe in just about every image. And an ugly looking dude that creeps me out (it's supposed to). It's supposed to represent them. When Pepe is holding a gun, it represents the notion that "it's time." |
|
So this is why I wouldn't label Pepe racist. Yes, he is used by racists. He is used for all sorts of terrible things. The pp who posted the image was def showing an example.
It's possible they see a lot of black guys as the big jocks who steal their women. "Har har, once you go black you never go back," simply reinforces that maybe? But the umpqua guy was at least partially of color. There are plenty of Asians, black, Latinos, and whites, etc, etc who subscribe to these ideas. |
So please explain why Little Donnie Trump is tweeting an image with Alex Jones of Infowars together with his dad, Roger Stone, Rudy Giuiliani, Ben Carson and Pepe? These people might be misfits in every sense of the word but they aren't "betas." |
| lollolololollol @ pepe a frog being a "racist meme". it's a kid's cartoon. anyone can modify it however they want. |
Are you describing Hillary? She clearly hates people... is very awkward... road the 100x more charismatic Bill's coattails for 45 years. |
pepe can be anything...... |
Thanks, but the Pepe trend is winding down. It's all about Harambe now. |
