Trump fans celebrate his N.H. victory with racist cartoons, anime memes, and Pepe

@Kat

Thanks for doing all that thinking about why people do terrible things. You put into words some things that I was feeling but couldn’t articulate. “Dominance display”: You called that one.

Thank you. It’s a case of “smelling my own” in terms of someone just trying to be authoritarian and domineering in a community sense. People with Tourette’s Syndrome have to spend a lifetime controlling the same instincts that these assholes just give into without resistance. TS is in many ways like an overdose of social emotions including the ones having to do with social dominance and conflict. Children with TS have problems with boundary issues and that urge that some of us have to use insults is there for a reason. I’ve been struggling to find socially useful ways of expressing it and one is way is kind of like dropping “cheat codes” for how it works.

I had a quick look at your website. I can see you’ve been doing a lot of thinking for quite some time now!

I spent the last six years teaching myself as much brain science as I can so that I can understand what TS is. As you go back in time it becomes demon possession. It’s been very very useful in a general human sense as well as in understanding my advantages, disadvantages and excesses that can become flaws if not properly managed. It ironically gives me some privilege online.

@Tracy

A place where anyone can speak their mind, without having to put their name to it or defend their point of view. You can post something, then post something directly afterwards that contradicts it just for shits and giggles. How on earth is anyone there forced to be strong? You’re all anon. It’s a pretty safe, secure place to be; you never have to back up anything you say or face any opposition or criticism whatsoever.

You bring up something very significant that I have noted in the past when it comes to these sorts of people. Anon posting comes with it’s own psychology and one area where they are weak is in awareness and concern for reputation. In many ways when it comes to how the brain makes the mind you are what you do.
These people often wreck their own reputations by acting without limits and one of the few ways they can deal is by staying in places where they don’t have to worry about it. Without personal identity they lack an important kind of psychological anchor that drives human improvement. On top of that they overuse group psychology so they are often very weak outside of group actions driven by a smaller number of more powerful authoritarian personalities, so they are naturally gravitating towards these xenophobic bigoted mob actions and people like Trump.

@Shitlord the Well-Named,

Also, why is it weird to hate Canada, the most cuck-friendly country in the whole Americas?

Well, in my case, because I live here. Also because cucking isn’t actually a thing outside of fetishes, and if Canada is in fact more friendly towards people exploring their less normative tastes, that’s not a bad thing.

Why would it be weird to depict the execution of rivals?

Not weird; distasteful. There’s a difference.

Why are you such pussies?

Because if you look at enough cat gifs, you turn into a cat. Run while you still can.

Ooh, I missed this one while it was in the holding pen.

Do people here seriously can’t understand those memes?
They are very direct to point.

Do people there seriously can’t understand English grammars? They are very direct to point.

Those memes are very direct to point but also very stupid. We are seriously can’t believe its motivations. So we are dissecting them and making fun of them!

Also, why is it weird to hate Canada, the most cuck-friendly country in the whole Americas?

Lol.

cuck

Canada is the most friendly of cucks in the whole of Americas, huh? Perhaps it is because all of Canada is friendly of all persons! Come, have a maple syrup.

Why would it be weird to depict the execution of rivals?
Why are you such pussies?

Hey, an actual sentence without any glaring language issues! Congratulations, gold star.

We don’t like the execution of rivals or depiction of same because we don’t live in the 14th century, and don’t take joy in death or bloodshed.

We are pussies because pussies are incredibly tough, resilient, and life-giving.

Why are you such balls?

@katz

I agree. Sadly, 8 years from now she’ll be the same age Bernie is right now (i.e. very old). She should’ve run this time.

I do think a Sanders/Warren ticket could be interesting, but maybe a white VP wouldn’t be a great idea at this point.

Since I also have a similar nose, just to expand that point a little.

Be very careful of mass generalizations and categorization: quite often their dialogue really is not as straight forward as they pretend.

Quite a lot of the (old) /pol/ stuff and now 4/8chan divide (new terms: normies / Robots / Kuk) was always about explicitly breaking taboos to both self-select for a certain kind of mental schema and to prevent translation. (Private Language). It’s also a case that many on the boards were paid to do so (by various people) – think of it as a type IV bioweapons lab, but using memes (if you think that the people who run ‘Troll Farms’ and ’50c brigades’ and even the ’15 Psychological Operations Group’ aren’t at the very least training there, you’re being somewhat naive).

So – next time you spot a big flame out, it might be doing something entirely different than merely ‘lack of self-control’.

If you’ve the nose for it, I’d suggest thinking about their use of Egyptian Gods in their response thread, and then look up what the text I quoted is about. Hint: the destruction of Memphis / Egypt (at least in part).

I was, bluntly, saying something a little bit more direct than you’d expect at first.

I realize that the tone of this blog is light-hearted, and the actors in question have a solid history in raiding / DDoS etc, so unless there’s interest I won’t theorize more deeply.

Will be interested to see if this is published though (@ webmaster – if nothing else, add it to the research pile).

It’s true, Canada did send Justin Bieber to us but isn’t Margaret Atwood Canadian? She makes up for that fuckery.

It’s true! We also gave you insulin, basketball, baggage tags, instant mashed potatoes, and William Shatner.

Also John Kenneth Galbraith, who hopefully makes up for Ted Cruz. But don’t worry, we don’t want Cruz back. You can keep him (if you must).

scented fucking candles.

I didn’t understand a goddamned word of that. Can I please get a translator in here?

Er, missed a “Not” there. never being a response that is also not human i.e. That predators are always on their side or that you have to be the “darkest sith lord” to rule them or combat them or become a VP @ GS.

It’s simply a bad case of evolutionary bias and (this is the right, after all) thinking that’s about 30-50 years out of date.

And yes, all of this is highly metaphorical.

Look up Orcas, there’s a few different kinds 😉

Are you referring to the Cat Goddess? Because if so, yay~

Yes, I am.

And careful, she has claws.

@Pool

Wait till you see the next two reveals.

Is that shitlord still here?

Fuck off, Shitlord.

Oh, I will say that Ghost In The Shell and other anime with police protagonists do provide a good bit of culture shock, though I get the feeling that at least some of it is in fact meant to feel somewhat off. They’re shockingly casual about some things treated as big issues in the US; Ghost In The Shell protagonists will offhandedly ask if the media blackout on (large-scale hostage situation in Tokyo) is still holding. When there’s some sort of major danger like a bomb, the police arrange to clear people out with some pretext and steadfastly do not mention the threat (I assume to avoid a stampede, which makes sense but would probably not be well-received in the US). There’s lots of mass survellience in the higher-tech ones, presented in a way that makes it feel like the audience is supposed to uncritically accept that having cameras everywhere, automated internet survellience, ultrasound patterns throughout the city to roughly locate the source of a phone call from the recording, or a master file of everyone’s brainwave patterns are all things the police should absolutely do when it becomes reasonably practical. I think some of that is supposed to get a “wait, WHAT?” reaction from the audience but other parts aren’t, and I’m not really sure which is which.
