@Styx666Official Hot take: Holt's coverage of Honkler was largely on-point, with the central premise (an expression of 'supremacism') aside.
Dissociation, brought on by abuse and over-stimulation (drugs) is an easy catalyst for violence, and the clown frogs are very reminiscent of interwar Dada.
@Styx666Official The rapidity with which the meme, a coping mechanism employed in light of existentialism and complete dejection sans any other recourse, has been catching on, speaks volumes of the perception of the power balance that is being expressed by this portion of society.
@Styx666Official Naturally, the left has been building from a totally wild rationale, and will end up at a totally wild end. Silicon Valley will use it as another justification for content crackdowns without attempting to address or understand the motives.
@Styx666Official And the pawns will continue to scream at shadows, and expand the scope of their targets to seemingly no end (expect them to start attacking McDonalds chains any time soon).
@Styx666Official The ones who think themselves more 'clued in' will attempt to hijack the memetic potential of the phenomenon. The simple problem here is, the left cannot meme.
@Styx666Official The result will be a poor pastiche that will only serve the original ends of the meme, inflaming tensions even further with a continued rhetoric of dehumanisation, and likely take some steps towards a real, low-level civil conflict. They will have given the clowns what they want.
@Styx666Official And for what it's worth, compelling the social justice orthodoxy to consume itself is quite easy. Especially with their characteristically emotional style of discourse. Here are a few examples.
