how fast does meme culture mutate today compared to 2008-2010ish?
We may need entire courses to make sense of this shit in a few decades
Well, I believe the US Military actually studied memetic warfare back in the late 70s, believe it or not
(probably not)
But I do recall skimming over a large document published around that time
Oh, like the uh
I forget what it was called
the cartoon of the big nosed guy. "___ was here"
Kilroy?
DDE93 posted the whole thing on the sub about nine months ago
Kilroy was here? which started as a joke but the soviets eventually became convinced it was taunting from american spies?
I think it was something like that?
Well
Kilroy was just this thing US troops did during WWII
And things expanded from there
..
so anyway
"According to one story, German intelligence found the phrase on captured American equipment. This led Adolf Hitler to believe that Kilroy could be the name or codename of a high-level Allied spy. At the time of the Potsdam Conference in 1945, it was rumored that Stalin found "Kilroy was here" written in the VIPs' bathroom, prompting him to ask his aides who Kilroy was.[1][10] War photographer Robert Capa noted a use of the phrase at Bastogne in December 1944: "On the black, charred walls of an abandoned barn, scrawled in white chalk, was the legend of McAuliffe's GIs: KILROY WAS STUCK HERE."[11]"
This is what I was thinking of
Reading this is both funny, and reveals a lot about them.
I don't see how he was triggering us?

What's the lie?
Look at the twitter bio
That the current immigration policy hasn't changed under Trump and is merely a continuation of Obamas?
But only now that Trump is in office 👌
Look
all of these buildings these kids are being housed in are pretty shitty
I hope they find a better situation soon, or the gov'ment works something out or some shit I don't know
but these weren't made by Trump
