Pepe is a white nationalist symbol

Journalism in 2016 folks.

This is what happens when Leftistism infects your brain and DELETEs your common sense and rationality.

While racists lack the mental capacity to communicate properly and instead just regurgitate the same nonsense the rest of the hive mind also spewed out, typically in the form of memes and out of context insults. That does not mean the memes themselves are racist.

Although the swastika is a symbol of prosperity, but due to association is now seen as a symbol of racism. So if all these racist carry on overusing memes, then they will inevitably become associated with racism.

why don't you read into it a little more, I think there is still more stuff for you to make up out of nothing lol

This is what happens when journalists don't do research. That's all. Not everything is partisan politics, and CNN is far from true left.

I think it DECAYS your commen sense and rationality.

@mrbojangles25: Moderates and conservatives don't throw around the word racist. That is a symptom of Letistism. Doesn't necessarily mean the person is a die-hard Democrat/Left-winger, just means Leftistism has had an impact on their brain. This disease is a tragedy, and we need to find a cure.

"Leftistism"

You shouldn't complain about people throwing around words when you keep using one that doesn't even exist.

@toast_burner: Words are meant for communicating. Let me ask you one thing: did you know what I was saying? If yes, then point proven. If no, then you're not very smart.

And when someone uses the word racist you know what they mean, so you're still being hypocritical.

Yes I got what you meant and even if the message wasn't already stupid the way you presented it makes it so. Do you honestly think that presentation doesn't matter? Should we all talk like this now "Doneld tremp iz a dum dum poo head that makes a bad leader n i h8 im"?

@toast_burner: No, I don't know what they mean when they say racist. It's why I typically say "racist" or "racism" now since the word no longer has a generally understood meaning. Does it mean someone has an irrational negative feeling toward a person due to their race, or does it mean someone said or did something which a racist person at one point has done or said, therefore a fallacious correlation was made? Not sure. The word has been killed by SJWs, hyper-sensitive PC nuts, and politically motivated people who realized they could bully and intimidate people by throwing around the accusation of "racism" to silence dissent.

Moderates and conservatives do not use this type of rhetoric. It's a symptom of the Left.

Their source is literally 4chan neckbeards hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahha im dying

You have no self awareness at all do you? The right constantly do that, I even joked about it in my first post in this thread and you just demonstrated it yourself.

But maybe I'm just a cuck or something.

You're just a cuck. But that's ok, some people dig it.

Not to mention he talked about Racism losing its meaning while using equally meaningless terms like SJW. A term which has been getting more and more frequently used to describe anything that person doesnt like, even well established scientific theories like global warming and Darwinian evolution.

But if we really have to use it, and we assume that SJW and PC stuff actually means stuff intended not to offend. Then guess who once again, proved that he is the PC Police, the true SJW? Donald Trump.

"I dont want moderators to fact-check me, wah! I must hide in my safe space of my small circle of non-blacklisted journalists!"

Um, yeah...nope!

2016 was the year the Western world went to shit

Yeah, pretty much.

How is this indicitive of leftism? How does the bought corporate media blacken the character of liberal principles? They are not liberals in any way.

Premise A: If Pepe the frog is a meme

Premise B: And white nationalists use this meme.

Conclusion: Therefore, Pepe the frog is a white nationalist symbol.

That's lame stream media journalism for you. No fact checking whatsoever.

What the ****? Lmao this shit gets dumber and dumber...

lol dumbasses.

Agreed!

I'm sure some will argue years in the past are, but I agree 2016 has just been a crappy year.

No, just America.

Lol

Seriously though, I still have hope in humanity, not a lot, but a decent amount. As I was growing up, I envisioned a time when people would elevate their minds above race, religion, politics and all the other B.S that one group of people would use to justify hating or doing bad stuff too.

I still see it happening, but we as people gotta lot of work to do. The first step IMO is everybody being accountable for their own personal actions.

White nationalists eat toast.

Toast is fuel for white nationalists.

Now where is my Pulitzer Prize?

Thank god we are finally addressing this vital American issue with cartoon frogs. Only one was brave enough to stand against the darkness.

Yeah that seems to the operative logic here. And it doesn't make a lick of sense. Nazis stole different aspects of their organization from other cultures they deem inferior, Swastika from the buddhist, salute from the Romans etc.

Everyone knows Pepe the frog is a black guy.

This whole thing is amusing. How out of touch can one possibly become? To unheard of levels, that's how much.

Also, Doge loves apartheid and philosoraptor is super into skinhead metal.

I know..

Can someone explain what the actual status of this damn amphibian is?

As far as I can tell, this is just used by the so called "alt-right" as a kind of all-purpose meme. And the alt-right is a combination of disaffected conservatives and white nationalists.

So saying that the frog is a symbol of white nationalism is kind of taking a half truth with another half truth to make a "truth"? Is that about right? As far as I can tell, none of the people Clinton has named there are actual white nationalists though.

@effec_tor: I laughed my head off when I saw that.

omg best symbol. I almost feel bad for not being a white nationalist.

I'm just as out of touch as Hilary is I guess. I've never understood what the dumb frog meant or any of the other stupid things I see like pictures of people laughing or Leonardo diCaprio as the great gatsby or any of these other really cringe worthy things I think you kids call "memes". I understand none of it and don't want to.

I see.

what a joke.. a cartoon frog is now a white nationalist. ( Yet ben carson is in that same picture) Hillaries campaign is rapidly declining, Pathetic .. Now's shes picking on a frog.

I'm in the same boat. I had no clue it was a white supremacist icon. I just thought it was some kind of meme thing.

@foxhound_fox:

Yeah like this shit above here. What's this nonsense all about? If that's what passes for humour in the millennial generation, or is it even meant to be funny? Like I said, what is this crap that plagues this forum? Maybe it's in other internet things but I think this is the only forum full of young kids I ever view.

You must be over 40 years old, if you don't know what a Meme is! They're supposed to be funny

I am over 40. And I have a great sense of humor. I have guessed that memes are supposed to be funny. But somewhere I get lost because they really are mostly just stupid. And why do we need to show a clip of an actor in a movie expressing the emotion we want to convey? That may be neither here nor there. Back on topic, what is exactly funny about this frog and why do you youngin's think it is just hilarious? I'm beginning to get worried when I see the world my generation seems to have left for the next. We've done a poor job. I am sorry we have produced a generation that seems to be brain damaged. It's probably just me being old. My parents looked at my generation the same way. Wait until it happens to you, it's rather unnerving.

@mark1974: Not sure if trolling or telling the truth? It's just an expression like emojis

Like I told you, I'm old. And you lot seem a bit off to me at times. I suppose it's also some kind of trolling. I don't know, that's not a term people my age tend to use either. I also thought emojis were unnecessary and I hate text speak such as lol, rotfl or whatever else I don't know the meanings of and have to look up (even though I find myself occasionally doing it in the case of lol, I hate myself for it). I have learned that sjw and cuck being used by someone usually means they are an extreme right wing crazy person so that's been informative. Getting old is a bitch! But ignorance of most of this stuff is better than actually knowing about it I find. I've noticed that people who post these memes are pretty much repeating memes they see elsewhere and I guess it never gets old and originality is discouraged. Hive minds are a big thing on the internet. I am studying you guys and trying to learn, even though much of what I discover often makes me cringe hard. I do laugh occasionally though. I am trying to be open minded but my inner grumpy old man often gets the better of me.

Meme trends change all the time, they have existed since the dawn of AOL.
