Man, 2016 just gets weirder and weirder with each new day, when will it fucking end?

Special thanks to @hugobertington for the pic and the heads up.

wow, this looks like some serious shit

like I don’t know how supported the accusations of specifically ideological feminism driving it are, but given how much they fucked with the culture ministry, it does seem to be some kind of Culture War going on

wtf Korea

Palmer Luckey: The Facebook Near Billionaire Secretly Funding Trump’s Meme Machine

Palmer Luckey: The Facebook Near Billionaire Secretly Funding Trump’s Meme Machine

A Silicon Valley titan is putting money behind an unofficial Donald Trump group dedicated to “shitposting” and circulating Internet memes maligning Hillary Clinton.

Oculus founder Palmer Luckey financially backed a pro-Trump political organization called Nimble America, a self-described “social welfare 501©4 non-profit” in support of the Republican nominee.

Luckey sold his virtual reality company Oculus to Facebook for $2 billion in 2014, and Forbes estimates his current net worth to be $700 million. The 24-year-old told The Daily Beast that he had used the pseudonym “NimbleRichMan” on Reddit with a password given him to by the organization’s founders.

Nimble America says it’s dedicated to proving that “shitposting is powerful and meme magic is real,” according to the company’s introductory statement, and has taken credit for a billboard its founders say was posted outside of Pittsburgh with a cartoonishly large image of Clinton’s face alongside the words “Too Big to Jail.”

Flashback to those innocent times four months ago when the notion that frog memes would play a part in this election was a lighthearted jest.

one of the subtler crazy things about this election is how every worthwhile crank I’ve run across since the livejournal era, all the bits where I’ve been like “no, of all the weird shit on the net this shit is gonna be important”, are all banging into each other

I think a lot of it’s twitter, maybe in the open field quality will out, but seeing like Ian Welsh and Jacob “IOZ” Bacharach kibitzing about a dispute pitting Freddie deBoer, Jacobin, and Weird Twitter against Sady Doyle, it’s… honestly, it’s a little ominous when all the named characters and plot threads start coming together

course reading serious newspaper articles like “for more insight on /pol/ memes and their role on the alt-right, we reached out to VDare….” is fucking surreal

Was kind of hoping this was a clever teaser campaign for some sort of dystopic near-future SF movie or game

Nope!

Milo Yiannopoulos and the Gay Fascist Sophisticate

Milo Yiannopoulos and the Gay Fascist Sophisticate

Reducing fascism to some vague idea of extreme conservatism, which in its American context essentially means angry old white people, misses the sense in which fascism prospered because it was something young, cool, transgressive, and new. For fascist intellectuals, at least, the liberal bourgeoisie was their enemy as much as were communists or Jews, and it was precisely because the bourgeois were old, self-righteous, and boring. Fascism was sexy and fun.

Milo gets this… Milo exploits to great effect the perception among his disaffected, youthful fan base that liberal pieties about diversity and anti-racism are just the moralistic droning of an elite losing its grip on power.

Trump’s success has raised among liberals a fear that the far right has made itself respectable. Milo’s success at creating a following for a figure like himself — limited as it might be — suggests that the bigger fear should be that the far right might make itself cool.
