Hey, remember when Friday was meme-day here at We Hunted the Mammoth? We’ve missed a couple, mostly because of horrible things happening in the world, but we’re back!
Today, some of the weirdest pro-Trump and anti-Hillary memes I’ve run across lately. Most of these are from Reddit — in particular, from r/The_Donald and r/HillaryForPrison. Enjoy, I guess.
Now this last meme — which I’ve censored a little — isn’t really all that weird. It’s just kind of revealing, at least about the sort of people who sit around making anti-Hillary memes.
Yikes.
@Petal
I’m thousands of miles away in the Seattle area. I heard about the 100+ weather out east and am glad I don’t have to deal with that.
Edit: @Ohlmann I’ll have to look him up.
@varalys
I would love to take a gander at your blog if you’d be inclined to share the link.
@EJ theyre obsessed with pseudoscience. their idea of science is “assumptions white men make and dogma they created are automatically correct always forever.” They dont engage in cricital thinking, they just toss out half-understood junior debate club terms like a ref with no more knowledge of soccer than I have randomly throwing down flags and hoping it sticks or something (if thats how soccer works?). The entire premise of the scientific method or actual rationaliry is lost on them.
@Scented Fucking Hard Chairs:
Brilliant! You’ve found a well-known died-in-the-wool Israel supporter denouncing an anti-Zionist site! Genius!
Might as well attach importance to Paul Elam calling WHTM a hate site.
I think you’re a Zionist shill.
Yyyeah, I get the feeling that no matter what SFHC would have said, you’d have found some way of being a right little shit about it, Gert.
I know I haven’t been commenting all that long myself here, but I’m also in support of a ban just about now.
@EJ (The Other One):
Hahhahhahahhhhahahahahhah! Pffffff…..
Yes.
@ViolinlessHoax: Clicking my user name here should take you too it. Be warned loads of spoilers as I ramble through the book then come to some sort of conclusion at the end. I’ve marked NSFW material in the intros and included Trigger Warnings where needed although probably not as diligently as I should have done, it wasn’t until I started coming here that I realised how important trigger warnings are.
@varalys
Ah, probs should have clicked your name to begin with, haha. Thanks! Checking it out now.

@weirwoodtreehugger: communist bonobo:
I called two British MPs (John Mann and Wes Streeting) and ardent supporters of Israel’s policies vis-a-vis the Palestinians ‘Zionist mouth breathers’.
That’s not ‘the way neo-Nazi types’ do.
Mondoweiss is not a hate site, you got that right.
It’s unbelievable we even have to mention that.
Some hate David Futrelle:

Obviously because you can find it in Google that makes it true…
Sigh…
/sad face
@Gert : you’re aware a non-insignifiant number of actual neonazi agree with your insult ?
Hey, David — is everything OK with you? You haven’t posted (or tweeted) in a couple of days.
Let us know if you’re around?
Just a little worried, sorry to bug you if you’re just relaxing ?
And what, pray tell, is the way the neo-Nazi types do? Zions mouth breather, as an insult seems very anti-Semitic and ableist.
One day, I’m going to “Cite” a cat video just to prove that trolls never actually click our links.
Hint to Groot: You should’ve at least checked whether or not the post I linked includes full sources and screenshots before dismissing it as “Bias, lies and VILE ACCUSATIONS,” because now you look stupid. Well, stupider.
Another one for SFHC:
http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/cms/
Did you know that? Live and learn, SFHC, live and learn! Google is your oyster!
@SFHC:
Not remotely as stupid as you, resident blowhard.
@Gert : you’re not qualified to call people stupid. You did not prove yet that you’re more intelligent than a slab of basalt.
@David : seriously, could you satellize Gert ? We need him out before he collapse into a black hole.
@ varalys
Just been having a cursory scan of your blog. That’s my reading material sorted out for my next couple of meetings! (joy of iPads is nobody can see what you’re actually looking at)
I know bugger all about US comics but I grew up on 2000AD, so will be delving into your Dredd stuff with gusto.
You mention diversity. You may find it interesting that for the first couple of years of 2000AD the general belief amongst fans was that Dredd was black. Later on it became sort of received wisdom that he was in fact modelled on Clnt Eastwood (and then the comic moved into colour production and he was drawn white)
But there’s a great documentary now about 2000AD. There’s an interview with Carlos Ezquerra, the original Dredd artist, and he states that he’d always been lead to believe Dredd was black and had drawn him so (in so far as you can draw the lower half of someone’s face without delving into racist caricature). There’s also an almost ‘blaxploitation’ vibe about Dredd’s speech patterns (he’s practically Judge Shaft in some stories)
See if you can find some of the very early Dredd stories and see what you think.
ETA: once you’ve done that remind me to bore you to tears with the interesting history of the girls’ comic ‘Misty’
@Ohlmann:
Do you actually know anything about the PSM?
If you knew even a scintilla about it you wouldn’t be making that argument.
As I’ve outlined above, by and large neo-Nazis, ‘Holohoax’ types and assorted anti-Semites aren’t interested in Zionism, Israel, I/P, PSM or related issues. They just hate Jews tout court.
Occasionally a neo-Nazi troll will infiltrate the various PSMs. That is a very bad reason to stop using the term ‘Zionist’, whether as insult or as objective descriptor of someone’s beliefs.
I suggest you raise your faux concerns with people who have actually been trying to obtain justice for Palestinians for decades (Phil Weiss, e.g. is very approachable) and see what reaction you get.
@kupo
Wooow! Didn’t even notice that. It’s so ubiquitous, I’d forgotten that term was meant to be insulting in a specific way. Thanks for bringing that up. And Gert, as a mouth breather myself, eat shit
Entirely irrelevant, but do you (the regulars, not you, Gert) pronounce it Gurt or Hairt? I’m with the latter
What, it’s still here?
SHFC (or as I shall forever think of her, M the Social Justice Ranger) is definitely a fighty person. However, her instincts tend to be excellent: I’ve never seen her turn against anyone who didn’t respond by melting down trollishly and begin to spout MRA bullshit. If she’s unhappy with you then the chances are good that you need to reexamine your actions.
Why do I mention this? Because this:
Is an attempt to divide a community; but it will not work, because unlike many internet communities we actually like one another, not just tolerate one another. You do not have defenders. You are without supporters or allies. You have no faultlines to exploit. Please reconsider your decision to remain here, as it’s looking increasingly less like a desire to achieve anything and increasingly more like a simple desire to annoy people pointlessly.
Which is not admirable behaviour.
Gert. We get it. You don’t understand what a dog whistle is. Seriously, you can stop.
Obviously, it’s pronounced Hurt.
