1/ A long thread on memes, extremism, #Diagalon, and the proliferation of hate across Convoy circles. At the #POEC, Jeremy Mackenzie claimed that Diagalon was a meme, as he has for months. The implication is that Diagalon is EITHER a threat OR a meme--memes aren't a threat. 
2/ #Diagalon is both a meme country AND a threat. Meme-ifying extremism is not new--it really took off around 2014 with GamerGate and Trump. And the absurdity to those on the outside is what insulates memes. Silly cartoon frogs and clowns and baby talk can’t be serious, right?
3/ Mackenize & associates like Alex Vriend (The Ferryman’s Toll) are Extremely Online. They speak 4chan, the dot WIN network & subreddits that have been banned for years. The language is codified among the Extremely Online but it's not always recognizable as hate to the normies.
