The Clinton Thread II - Part 2

[summerteeth]

She doesnt even need the quotes to prove it. It has been used by the alt-right. Even the creator of the meme acknowledges that its been used by racists and bigots. Hillary isnt adressing what it was originally used for or what the creator intended to mean. She is adressing the way the alt-right and racists are using it and that they are using it.

Pepe isnt the first meme to be coopted by *******s. A popular well known move by the character Captain Falcon wss coopted and became synonymous with murdering a woman's fetus by kicking her in the belly. Like with Pepe the original meaning is irrelevant. The problem isnt the original meaning. The problem is the way certain POS groups use it.

I wouldnt go so far as to say everyone using a pepe meme is a racist or that pepe is the new 88 or swastika or that every pepe picture is promoting racism, but its a meme that has become tied in with Trump (a racist) which ties it in with the alt-right, the Trumpeteers (many of whom are racists whether they recognize it or not), and white supremacists that are supporting him and his campaign of hate and racism.

...Are we really arguing about the meaning of a meme character...is this what political discourse has become? Sorry, but it's pathetic that she has that on her website. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[chaseter]

Yes it's what politics has come to. The ctrl-left is justifying a meme as valid criticism. The left and the right are both literally, petty children.

It's hilarious to see all the liberals on here bending over backwards to explain this crap...and then they go over to the Trump thread and call people ridiculous. lol

Here are some actual direct quotes from the Nazis on 8chan that he is getting his memes from:

The media is right but they've cried wolf so many times that no one believes them anymore. People are seeing the situation on a microscopic scale and are only seeing things like the double standard of Hillary having meetings with BLM while they're out killing cops. For the normie it's absurd that Trump must disavow some nebulous movement that he has no official ties to.

The nazis are on the march and the media is trying to warn everybody but nobody is listening.

Trump is right the average Americans don't know wtf an 'alt-right' even is, so lumping Trump in with it means utterly nothing to them. They'd have been better to going back to calling him Hitler, at least then the population understood what they meant. ... Trump's response is perfect, this way he doesn't need to disavow jack s*** and makes the media look r*****ed even though they're actually telling the truth for once.

People come here for the dank memes and then, after a time that is determined by open-mindedness of the person, stay because they want to gas the k****. If we remove the dank memes, we will be effectively eliminating the reason why people are becoming politically incorrect in the first place.

You should really read this article on how Trump is being directly influenced by straight up Nazis even though he may or may not know it:

I think Hillary blew it.

That comment she made was stupid. She was right, but in this country, you can't call someone racist unless they're wearing sheets. Then she looked gutless when she apologized for it.

This health thing is just more fuel to the fire.

I still think Trump will lose, if only because he has offended so many people, but it's going to be a close election.

It was just one month ago many people were saying Donald Trump didn't have a chance of winning.

With scandals galore and health problems, the media turned on Hillary. We've seen a complete 180!

 

[Sithborg]

The media has never really been with Clinton.

 

[mclay18]

Yeah, she faces more scrutiny even though Trump's actions are far more headline-worthy. He says terrible things and flip-flops on issues frequently, but it's mainly glossed over.

 

[Ms. Marvel]

Yeah I never got the "Hilary media bias" complaint.

 

[Marvolo]

Oh God, the Bernie supporters are getting all excited about her illness.

If they think her dropping out would mean Bernie would be chosen as her replacement they are delusional.

[Webfoot Hero]

Or you can look CNN's Christiane Amanpour defending her. Also, she's married to James Rubin, who used to work for the State Department during Bill Clinton's administration and was considered Secretary Albright's right-hand man.

It's reporters regurgitating talking points. You're like Bill Lumay, pointing out strawmen to make the other side look bad.

Well...there's nothing new there.

Better? I've been putting that "Hillary media bias" out there in this thread a couple times before, so you can also check back in part 1.

"Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris" Matt called it.
They should look into Powell's emails now.

I really don't think that's going to catch on.

 

[chaseter]

That's something the ctrl-left would say.

 

[Schlosser85]

I don't even know what alt-right or ctrl-left are supposed to mean, and I'm not really interested.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

I'm with ctrl+alt+delete.

 

[Ms. Marvel]

That's something the ctrl-left would say.

But it doesn't make sense.

Why not just stick to regressive left?

 

[Schlosser85]

I don't think the people using terms like "alt-right" or "ctrl-left" know what they're supposed to mean.

They just don't sound intelligent.

Why can't we just say right-wing and left-wing or regressive left or whatever you want to call them instead of making up cutesy "alt-right vs ctrl-left" BS?

It's like Tumblr where a new sexual orientation/gender identity gets invented every 30 seconds and you can self- identity as a cloud, or a lollipop, or a fragile glistening drop of morning dew, or whatever you want.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

[terry78]

Are they suddenly expecting her to drop dead or something?

 

[DeadPresident]

But it doesn't make sense.

Why not just stick to regressive left?

This really is what it is. Liberalism has been hijacked by the regressive left, conservatism has been hijacked by the alt-right.

 

[Victarion]

I've noticed an uptick in Weekend at Bernie's themed memes.
