so... 4chan wins WW3?
meme warfare is not a joke
4Chan will cause WW3 with Memes
I see your point. That's kind of the point, the culture war is the next great war.
4chan is the manhattan project of WW3
I mean lets face it
Pepe affecting the American election as it did was just insanity
That broke the "post-parody" in my eyes
See, the dangers I see are that people are trying to push ideologies that require 100% global participation for them to work.
clinton saying it was racist
trump and fam using it
insane
pepe is not even that funny...
It's the reaction that gives it power.
If the world saw a hitler pepe meme and didn't react at all to it... I mean, addages about quiet forests come to mind.
4chan does have its way to get reactions, for sure
WIth Tim's perspective there, I think 'Offense' itself is the new battleground, in a sense.
The retooling of words to give them a heightened power to offend, or for some words and concepts, to make them seem more appealing. The fight against Hate Speech, the push for compelled speech left and right...
Pepe is the ultimate Streisand Effect
Even today, even with all of the big Silicon Valley companies trying to control the narrative
Once it's on the internet, it's free to take on a life of it's own
well it just shows that even if you try to "control" the people
you can't stop them thinking, Meme-ing
pepe is a good example why politicians should not talk about things that they have no idea about...
Can't stop them thinking, yet.
Keep in mind, the precedent set yesterday.
There still seems to be a notion that though policing is possible
Dankula was convicted for 'gross offense'
its why my other reddit handle is modernthoughtcontrol
Thought policing is seriously the risk of the next 10 years, even more so than before
well... he was convicted for using the internet ehy being grossly offensive... had he not used the internet he would have been fine...
you say that but 1) what else would he use and 2) doesn't matter, any charge can be trumped up
that law is beyond stupid...
if you are part of the wrong think, look out
What lotheron said. You also have to consider, this is a nation with a police force dedicated to television.
the could probably apply the law to mobile phone networks and things like that...
Their media is pretty close to government controlled, closer than ours is.
example, I dont care which side of gun control.. there is a distinct difference in coverage between fl and the one that was just stopped yesterday by a peace officer..
The Internet is the last bastion of freedom in that regard, and the Dankula case law seals that.
I hope the Dankula case will open up eyes
well... the one yesterday was stopped so... it didnt happen... or something...
Oh, it has.
People I didn't expect to side with him are siding with him.
