I think voting the Republicans into power was one of the biggest fuck-ups in American political history so why dont you and my biggest fan Red Mercury get together and figure out where I sit.
The new alt-right "NPC" meme is legitimately terrifying
- Thread starter TI92
- Start date
I think you misunderstand. The "adults" who happens to be these memesters exist as a continuous tantrum online, living only for attention. Mentions in the NYT made them all cream their pants. Ignore their shit and remove platforms.
As to the second, pay attention but there isn't a need for some shat out missive on his twitter account to be breaking news every time it happens. We're allowing ourselves to be distracted and attack only the man and not his policies and what he represents.
Hilarious considering the right are the ones programmed and spew the exact same talking points dat after day like they are all on the same schedule."everyone is dumb except me" that's pretty much what this meme is about
Like all memes, it's boring and lacking in creativity because it was created by someone unexceptional with the least possible amount of effort expended.
You maybe will have to argue how 4channers coming up with this are not alt-right/neonazis, first. People slightly right of centre didn't come up with this.
You think further reducing people to faceless strawmen for your hate speech isn't a new step in the wrong direction?
"Did it ever occur to you that sometimes an opinion is mainstream because it is correct and logical?"
"jews"
That's a hell of a jump right there.
pretty much. it's sad these people think they can unironically use this as a weapon for midterms. some people have too much time on their hands.
Dehumanizing your opponents is as old as politics.
Also calling it terrifying is giving them what they want.
The associated image may be relatively new but I've seen incels, 4chan scum and other alt-right bedlamists refer to normal people as NPCs from a while back. Not terrifying but they're definitely watch list material
It was a dead/forced meme until people started talking about it. Like most stupid shit from 4chan, ignore it and they will stop out of boredom.
Writing articles is literally the worst thing that could be done. It serves as oxygen for the garbage fire.

I think you need to go back and watch that excellent Vice video about Charlottesville to give you an idea of what we are up against.
We need to take these people as seriously as they are taking themselves. Even when they say it's "for the lulz", you know damn well it's deeper than that.
i mean pretty much
it's the "i'm literally shaking rn" response they have in one of the memes
"An opinion is mainstream because it's correct and logical."
That's a dangerous road, actually.
So is banning accounts because you don't agree with them.

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of. The Right is much less diverseIt's just another case of "I'm the only free thinker in this world and everyone else is sheeple".
I don't think it's all that terrifying. It's actually ridiculously easy to turn against the right.
Yeah. You can apply this to either end of the political spectrum - doesn't appear to be very original or scary.
Not saying that to endorse it obviously, but this seems like an age old argument that opposing sides have used forever.
The post this meme apparently spawned from reads like the author is experiencing the onset of psychosis. Likely future mass shooter.
Pushing the idea that left-wing commenters who criticize Trump are all bots, projecting the fact that many far-right commenters are actually Russian bots.
I'm mad, but I'm not even that mad, that is legitimately impressive propaganda.
EDIT
You know, reading through the examples in this thread, the execution is horrible. Good lord. git gud, trolls

Yes, we should totally not scream at Nazis/racists/fascists. Tell me who has been, in your opinion, unjustly screamed at in public? Do you take issue with a nice person like Ted Cruz (for example) having his nice dinner interrupted by protesters?
Dude really went there haha
"Orange Man Racist, Orange Man Bad"
Are these idiots even trying anymore.
How do you own the libs? Say they are all programmed to dont like racists!

Are you referring to a specfic case here? Because if people are going to troll and spew misinformation in an effort to get people to not vote then it is absolutely justified. They're going against Twitter's TOS anyways so yeah.
Did you miss the "sometimes" in that sentence?
Most people are of the opinion that the sky will not literally fall down and crush them tomorrow. That's mainstream for a good reason. Sometimes it happens.
For another example, anti-vaxxers generally don't deserve similar respect to the mainstream scientific opinion because we have far more evidence for one than for the other.
I used to use language like this when I was a teenager.
Coincidently, teen me was a fucking asshole

You'd think having a billionaire trust fund baby 'white capitalist who controls America' being in the highest seat of power would dissuade them from trying to use that argument but nope, it's the Jews I guess.
Wired had an article on this:

Definitely not all for the "lulz".
Long ass read though.
