Anti-Defamation League and Pepe the Frog's Creator Are Teaming Up To Save Pepe From Hate-Symbol Status (businessinsider.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Business Insider: Matt Furie, the creator of the widely known "Pepe the Frog" meme, is joining forces with the Anti-Defamation League to reclaim the symbol from the alt-right and make it a "force for good," according to a press release. Furie and the ADL plan to start a social-media campaign by creating "a series of positive Pepe memes and messages" and promoting them with the hashtag #SavePepe, according to the release. The ADL declared "Pepe the Frog" to be a hate symbol in late September. "It's completely insane that Pepe has been labeled a symbol of hate, and that racists and anti-Semites are using a once peaceful frog-dude from my comic book as an icon of hate," Furie said in a column for Time magazine. While fiercely condemning the "racist and fringe groups" that use Pepe to propagate divisive views, Furie said Pepe was meant to "celebrate peace, togetherness, and fun." The meme, which originated from a 2005 cartoon, has been hijacked by the alt-right movement in the past several months. Members of the movement have used the meme to convey often racist and anti-Semitic messages. The messages prompted the ADL to add Pepe to its "Hate on Display" database, which documents anti-Semitic hate symbols. According to the ADL's press release on the #SavePepe campaign, Furie will speak at its "Never Is Now" summit against anti-Semitism on November 17 in New York City. The panel will focus specifically on online hate campaigns. Furie published a new Pepe cartoon on Monday detailing his "alt-right election nightmare," which depicts a sad Pepe morphing into a frog that resembles Donald Trump and then a monster. Pepe appears trapped in the mouth of the monster. The next panel depicts a nuclear explosion. Pepe then awakes and hides under his mattress.
Everyone who sees that comic is just going to laugh harder than they were before.
It's fucking hilarious seeing these losers take a stupid meme so seriously.

If speech doesn't offend anyone, nobody will try to ban it. The only type of speech in need of protection is that which someone considers offensive and wants to ban. I consider hate speech a good thing because it's indicative of a free society. One of the first things to go in a society that isn't free is hate speech, a fact that has been documented throughout history. Regimes that aren't free tend to restrict speech, and we need to promote free thought and free speech. In a free society, you should speak against hate speech rather than attempt to ban it.
Yup, we are currently living with wide spread insanity. Facts no longer matter, and people who don't believe in your political opinion are spreading hate.
Question though: Who is attempting to stifle speech? The people with the opposing opinion or those on the left? So are they making the frog a symbol of hate speech? I'm very confused.
-The wise argue that there are few absolutes, the fool argues that there are no probabilities.
It wasn't even racists or alt-right who did that. It was 4chan users who thought it was funny and wanted to make pepe toxic when they saw Miley Cyrus using it.
It doesn't matter what symbol they pick, THEY ARE THE PROBLEM. Not the frog.
Some quotes from a NYMag article, "What Happens When Hillary Clinton Calls Your Cartoon Frog Racist" just over a month ago:
Neither the elder or the younger Trump actually crafted the Pepe images they posted — credit for that goes to the hateful meme factories of the so-called alt-right. Indeed, Pepe has become something of a mascot for them. But Pepe predates their rise to national prominence, and his creator, cartoonist Matt Furie, could not be less connected to their movement. He’s been drawing Pepe on and off as part of a surreal comic strip called Boy’s Club since 2005, and he doesn’t seem to care at all about the ways the character has been used to create havoc online. “Politics are for dorks,” he tells me in an email
Trump’s retweeting of a Pepe meme seemed like a nonevent to him. “I’m sure it was just a young Republican dude posting it to appeal to smug Trumpies,” he says. “It was just as amusing as anything else stupid on the internet.” When I ask him if any use of Pepe has shocked or disgusted him, he replies, “Not really — there is all kinds of idiotic stuff on the internet. I usually just check my email or go on Facebook or something.”
“Pepe is everything and nothing,” Furie says. “He is stupid and amazing at the same time — kinda like life. Pepe is life.”
One thing he clearly expresses is how little he’s been moved by Pepe’s most notable moments of fame. I ask how it felt when Perry and Minaj posted Pepe memes and all he says is, “I don’t care.” I bring up last year’s bizarre “Rare Pepe” craze, in which 4chan users semi-seriously attempted to counteract mainstream appropriation of Pepe by flooding the board with unique versions of him; he muses, “I just sit back, relax and let the Pepes fall where they land, my friend!”
He doesn’t seem that interested in discussing the other characters and comics, either. “They are what they are: just weird comics about a bunch of weird fraggles hanging out in mysterious nothingness,” he says. I ask him if he sees any sadness in the quartet’s gross lives and his reply is blunt: “No, they are just dumb cartoons.”
But ultimately, it doesn’t seem like Furie loses much sleep over questions about Pepe’s significance or what the frog means for him as an artist. Or, at least, that’s the image he wants to project. “I love to Google my own name,” he says. “I’m much more concerned about ‘Matt Furie.’ I’ll never be as popular as the frog, but I’m alive: something he can never be.”
So he went from a laissez-faire attitude about Pepe to battling the alt-right and, by extension, the Literal Hitler Candidate, Donald Trump. He's either been offered a shitload of money and book deals, or his life was threatened.
It's like someone looked at 4chan, saw Pepe and "praise kek!" everywhere, and thought we all *actually* looked up to a fucking cartoon frog from a web comic about pissing with your pants at your ankles as a god damned spiritual icon. The CTR shills infiltrating reddit/4chan have even been instructed to create racist Pepe memes to discredit him. (https://archive.is/nvFro) It's like if Romney had started a war with Advice Dog.
Anyway, there's actually been a dearth of Pepe on r/The_Donald recently, simply because there's too much real news happening to need to waste time on frivolities like spamming Pepe to trigger shills.
(btw, go GIS 'Pepe frog nazi' and 'Twilight Sparkle nazi' and tell me which one is the REAL white supremacist icon...)

I'm confused why everyone is losing their mind over a crappy cartoon in the first place. Guess it beats the days where people had to worry about war, disease, starvation, oppression, and hopelessness. Good thing we solved all those problems at least.
Hate symbols can be used to intimidate people and hurt them. But what's really wrong isn't the symbol itself per se, but the threat communicated by it. You've likely often heard some mishmash about not tolerating intolerance, often as a self-serving justification, but I doubt many people excusing themselves with it have even read anything by Karl Popper, so let's just quote him, shall we? I mean, he is the source of that particular idea, so maybe he knows a thing or two:
(emphasis added)
Thus we have self-appointed defenders of tolerance pulling this crap https://www.youtube.com/watch?... when the intolerance he was trying to defend us from was the use of violence to shut down ideas, which is a sad mockery of the ideals he promoted.
Some idiots will see badness everywhere. Should we make everything in the world soft and fluffy so they don't get their feelings hurt? I think not.
Next up, people across the internet band together to defend the honor and dignity of a real person!
How much of that racism and anti-Semitism is actually real, and how much — "false flag" operations by DNC-operatives like these?
In addition to these thugs on the ground, Clinton's campaign also employs online trolls (like Putin). If her political consultants aren't directing some of these guys to create fake "hate posts" — as their ethics clearly allow them to do — they aren't earning their pay...
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
So, the ADL and the press are going to stop lying about and slandering Pepe? That is good news.
Oh, not that? They are going to try the anti-racist skinhead gambit? What do you mean you've never heard of anti-racist skinheads? Well, crap, I guess there may be a reason for that, and one that doesn't bode well for this nonsense.
See that "Preview" button?
Good god, look at the number on this post already. Everyone's getting voted down as if it's an organized response... which it probably is! And hell I've read the reports of her paid trolls from multiple sources now.

Trump is not racist nor anti-semitic. This is a lie propagated by the mentally ill liberal left. Trump was the first, when building his golf courses with clubhouses, to allow blacks and Jews to become club members much to the annoyance of all the other clubhouses that discriminated.

How much of that racism and anti-Semitism is actually real, and how much — "false flag" operations by DNC-operatives like these?
1) CTR explicitly instructs its workers to create and distribute racist Pepes to discredit Pepe and the so-called "alt right".
2) As anyone who spends a good amount of time on 4chan knows, literally anything at all that becomes popular will become nazi-fied at some point. It's just how the internet works, especially when you're dealing with jaded mostly-teenagers with practically total anonymity. Anything that can have swastikas spammed on it will have swastikas spammed on it, whether that 'anything' is a frog meme or a minecraft server.
3) Yes, there is racism on 4chan. Racists (and all other sorts of assholes) will always flock to bastions of anonymity and free speech - just look at any relatively-unmoderated comments section on any site on the internet. And while racism and Pepe may sometimes intersect by chance (see #2), there is no genuine correlation between the two. Much less is Pepe some revered symbol for white supremacists.
4) Also important: Much (most?) of the racism on 4chan is ironic and meant to be humorous. However since a prison shower would seem like an intolerable cesspool of political correctness compared to 4chan, this subtlety is completely lost on virtually everyone else in the world, and those who try to understand often just come to the conclusion that channers are Bad People for being amused by such things.

Racism in jest is still racism. It's not like phrasing it as a joke somehow makes it less demeaning. There are ways to show racism ironically (the Monty Python gameshow skit Prejudice shows how satirical racism can be used effectively), but whatever 4chan's basement dwellers are doing, it isn't satire, and it most certainly isn't ironic. Perhaps it is the verbal equivalent of farting in a small room, but just because you laugh afterwards doesn't mean it smells any sweeter.

There's no hate involved in this here. Every single one of these points is valid if you take the time to research it.
Screaming NAZI at people isn't going to solve any of the problems we are facing. That's pure slander and an emotional reaction.
There is no hate, people, THINK about what is going on. Research things for yourself, don't just take my word for it.
We need to be able to openly discuss topics such as this on an open forum without the mindless kneejerk reaction of people modding it down to hide it out of mind out of sight.
As I said, the subtlety and humor is lost on pearl clutchers.

There is only free speech now in this country for black people and homosexuals and any other minority ... But if you are a white Protestant American gentile you can't say a word," [Legendary 84-year-old comedian Jackie Mason] says.
Seinfeld set off a debate in Hollywood — in particular among comedians — when he said during an ESPN interview that college kids were too quick to brand comedians "sexists" and "racists" if they were to tell jokes perceived as insensitive. Colleagues like Dave Chappelle and Bill Maher have agreed with Seinfeld while others, notably Whoopi Goldberg, have been less supportive.
The DNC is shameless. From dead people voting to paying trouble makers to intentionally incite violence. These people are scum. They have zero morals.
How anyone can support oligarch Clinton and the millions she made from selling access is beyond me. Think, people.
(shhhh, nobody tell him about Pedobear)
Hey, I remember that guy /pol/ stuff, but you're Jewish yourself. And that's my biggest fear, that maybe the internet nazis are right. You can complain about supremacist groups, but it takes one to know one. Look at Israel with their settlements and everything that goes on in the west bank. It's a modern apartheid state, yet none of that gets called out even though it totally should because the media is controlled by zionist jews. You sound crazy if you say that, but it's the truth. The only other country that comes close is South Africa, and that died a while ago, they caught tons of flak in the press too before it happened.
Last I heard he was institutionalized.
To be honest I feel kind-of bad for him. He believed in the idea of completely unrestricted free speech, which is applaudable, and what you would have in an ideal society. Actions are what matter not words. Unfortunately he didn't respect the responsibility that comes with it. Ended up promoting a terror plot to get "the whites" and Muslims fighting with each other. Completely nuts, smart, maybe, but nuts. It's what happens when you really believe in all the 4chan
That's my fear, that the internet nazi's are actually right about all this shit.
Well Joshua was an ass, and he deserved everything he got, but us neets should stick together. Can't hate him too much.
whatever 4chan's basement dwellers are doing, it isn't satire, and it most certainly isn't ironic.
Most 4channers are just trolls. But ironically, there are some genuinely ironic types in there as well. I don't think it's worth sifting through to find them, but they do crop up.

You would have to be an utter moron to think that CTR memo is real. Jesus fucking Christ.
ADL, an organisation controlled by Hillary (via Chelsea), defames a cartoon by labeling it a hate symbol (i.e. Anti-hillary). ADL and/or media outlets PRODUCE white-supremacist KKK Pepe (image searches of said images prove that they did not exist beforehand). ADL then wish to "save pepe."
To me Hillary is simply trying to control a meme that has damaged her in social media and use it for her own propaganda. She's trolling you, don't fall for it.

There it is.
Racism in jest is still racism. It's not like phrasing it as a joke somehow makes it less demeaning.
You keep using that word. Racism means the prejudice against people based on common outward characteristics (phenotype). Whether it's "demanding" or not is inconsequential, it's impossible for a statement to be racist, unless the speaker bases his statement on prejudice.
but whatever 4chan's basement dwellers are doing, it isn't satire, and it most certainly isn't ironic
Unless you are a mind reader, you have no way of knowing what a bunch of anonymous people on the Internet are thinking. Assuming the worst about those you dislike is ironically quite prejudiced of you.
All of them, I tell you. All of them.
There are no racists and anti-semites among the Trump followers, oh no. Nonono.
I'm honestly more concerned about anti-semitism from the left, at present. Sure, there are some alt-right wackos online - but on the left, the wackos railing against a "Zionist conspiracy" get positions of authority, like heading the national union of students here in the UK. And then you've got the left's disconcerting alliance with Islamists, some of whom are downright genocidal...
I couldn't think of anything I gave less of a shit about when I heard that some group of retards was calling a cartoon frog that made funny faces racist, and then this bullshit came up. Can we just stop talking about them forever? They are not, have never, and will never have any meaningful impact on anything. Their ideas are stupid and pointless. Just forget they exist and they really will cease to exist.
Who redefined the word "Hate" to mean "anything the Jew doesn't want you to hear"? Why, it was the Jew who runs the entire media. And the Zionist Occupied Governments of the West all went along with it, denying free speech to their victims - sorry - 'electorate'...
White people have the right to have their own countries.
Anybody care to explain why they disagree with that statement?
How can anyone look at this picture, and not burst out laughing?
For designating the Pepe the frog as a hate symbol, the ADL should be charged with defamation themselves.
Poetic justice.

That very last part alone deserves all the mod points. Any opposition to Trump should only need to have that ONE job.
Even if all that is true (I can't be bothered to check), it was a waste of time. In the end nothing the DNC or Clinton did made much difference. Trump's own words and actions are what ruined his campaign. From the sexual assault to stalking her during the last debate to pretty much everything he has said during the campaign, he played a risky game and ultimately lost.
My guess is that he saw Brexit and guys like Farrage, the man everyone loves to hate, the most punchable face in Britain, and thought it could work for him too.

Let me get this straight - they're going to try to tie Trump into this? The same Trump who is officially recognizing Jerusalem as the Israeli capitol?
It's sad the lengths the looney left has to go to to pretend the Trump is a racist, antisemite, whatever.
Do you have ESP?
So you're an Antisemite, but you have sympathies for this Jew because he's also a Nazi and wants to bomb innocent people?
>Actions are what matter not words
In this case, words were intended to prepare actions. Of course words matter. If words wouldn't matter, why protect them?
You're confused. "False flag" is not the word you're looking for, "agents provocateurs" is.
It's funny that the most damning thing you can say about these political agitators is that they're very good at making Trump supporters drop their tendies and REEEE at the slightest provocation.
The point is, they tried. Which means, their ethics allow it. So they'll try again — Clinton ain't hurting for money and is not afraid to spend it.
Sexual assault is rape. Kissing, however unwanted, is not sexual assault. Besides, there is no evidence, he's ever actually done even that much — only talked.

See? Their real flag would have the letter "H" on it with the strange "move right" arrow on it. But "it just doesn't have that same effect", so they falsely raised the flag of "grassroots". Hence "false flag".
Not an ounce of shame in you, is there? Nothing like "OMG, I can't believe Hillary Clinton, such a lady it seemed, could possible have approved anything like that!" None... A typical Democrat.

I love the way you boldly posted a link which actually debunks your claim. Grabbing someone by the pussy would also qualify as sexual assault.

Where does it say Trump is a racist or anti-Semite? You are spouting a non-sequitur. It does call the alt-right racist and anti-Semitic, which is of course true, but not Trump.
Maybe, but I was talking about kissing. But, whatever — neither of the two Presidential nominees have ever done it. There is not even a credible accusation, much less proof.
Intimidating witnesses and victims of rape — yes, of that Hillary Clinton, the women's champion, was rather credibly accused decades ago, and not once. Maybe, Democrats should concentrate on making her more likable, instead of worrying about Pepe.

They imply that those who are alt-right are also racists and anti-Semites. Talk about prejudice and bigotry.
Maybe, but I was talking about kissing.
Funny, I could have sworn you said (and I quote):
"sexual assult is rape"
Along with a link saying it is not in fact the case.
SJW n. One who posts facts.
What I said right next to that was: "Kissing, even if unwanted, is not sexual assault". Funny, you chose to completely ignore that.
Now, the "sexual assault is rape" bit was sarcasm. To turn a sexual assault into rape requires about as much (slightly less, actually) semantic-stretching as is needed to turn a kiss, however unwanted, into an assault. And battery — as a colleague of yours was doing yesterday.
Back to the basics — the point of mine you desperately try to ignore — is that neither of the two Presidential nominees have ever done it. There is not even a credible accusation, much less proof.
Intimidating witnesses and victims of rape — yes, of that Hillary Clinton, the women's champion, was rather credibly accused decades ago, and not once. Maybe, Democrats should concentrate on making her more likable, instead of worrying about Pepe.

But what if they let you grab them by the pussy? I hear there are lots of women who let musicians, TV & movie stars, etc, grab them by the pussies.
We don't have a state-run media we have a media-run state.
Oh, so you're mad that they misrepresented themselves, that they were more organized than they appeared? That counts as "false flagging"? You poor thing. Tricking dumb people is cheating. It's just not fair.
Yet somehow that is different than James O'Keefe's conspiracy theorists pretending to be people they weren't.
I think you're mad because of your video demonstrates: Democrats are master manipulators whose main weakness is they like to brag, and Trump supporters are violent rubes who can be provoked into a frothy rage on cue. Your big coup is evidence that you're easily trolled.
If somebody goes to a political rally for black people dressed in a klan robe and yelling "N*GGER N*GGER N*GGER" and he gets punched, whose fault is it, and what does it say about everyone involved?
We don't have a state-run media we have a media-run state.
In fact, another way to look at it is: which of the R team candidates in the primary could have lost to Clinton?
I mean, maybe Fiorina or Carson. Probably others I'm not even remembering. (There were a lot of them after all.) But Jeb!, Kasich, even Lyin' Ted or Rubio could probably have beat Clinton.
The lizard people came at it from both directions. Clinton's only path to coronation was getting Trump nominated on the R team.
As predicted, Trump's role is now to completely self-destruct. I was surprised by the Russia angle, but it adds up to more things in the coming shitstorm. So, we get a warmonger president (Clinton) and an apparent mandate by "the people" to start Cold War 2.0 and go after the Russkies.
Anybody who is being partisan us-vs-them R vs D red vs. blue about this is lost in the moon matrix (MSM/lamestream media). That's right. People foaming at the mouth at Clinton who want Trump are lost in the moon matrix. People foaming at the mouth at Trump who want Clinton are lost in the moon matrix. That's exactly what the lizard people had planned to happen.
If we're all foaming at the mouth because of the "them" candidate, how will we ever remember that the only way out of this mess is to go and vote Libertarian or Green? I don't mean just for president, either. There are some on the R team or D team worth keeping around, but if anything is going to change before it's too late, we need Libertarians and Greens in state offices and in congress right now.
It may still be too late even, but "Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
Its amazing having these clueless people that don't know anything about memes attempt to subvert them.

It must be terrifying for you to think of how brainwashed you are -- seeing the door that was locking you in, and having the key in your hand. Please tell us more about how Trump raised the armrest in first class to sexually assault a woman, or how he sexually assaulted a woman in an elevator when he was several states away, on the news, at an opening ceremony for one of his buildings, or how he bought dinner and watched tv with a woman in a hotel room and then didn't give her a job the next day, and that's sexual assault.
You have no idea what's begun here.
First, you're following the polls. The polls aren't even close to accurate on this one.
Second, you're believing the presstitutes. The media has thoroughly disgraced itself in front of the public. Just as it did with Brexit in the UK. NO-ONE trusts them.
Third, the GOP is a gutted corrupted shell. They will be eaten alive by their base after their behaviour.
Fourth, the Democrats are a gutted, corrupted shell that's lost the traditional 'young' vote. They will be eaten alive by their own members after the revelations about how Clinton got the nomination and many, many other things.
Fifth, even if Clinton wins, the information that's coming out will end up with Clinton being impeached.
Finally, I actually think Trump will win with a healthy margin. When he does... the shit will really hit the fan for the party machines.
Either way, the main parties are collapsing. I saw the same thing with Brexit... they are SO disconnected from their leaders it's not even funny, it's just pathetic.
After all his comments about Muslims and Mexicans, and you think we're PRETENDING?!?
Where does it say Trump is a racist or anti-Semite? You are spouting a non-sequitur. It does call the alt-right racist and anti-Semitic, which is of course true, but not Trump.

I mean, I know we don't rtfa around here but that came from the summary.
Anyway, it's sad that they pretend that antisemitism is a disease of the right when it's a far-left/far-right issue. Donald Trump has nothing to do with it - ask Hillary where the capitol of Israel is.

What a bunch of faggots. Literally anybody can take literally anything and turn it on its head. To then claim that the original thing is therefore bad is absurd.

How could somebody with such a low UID also be a shill for Putin/Trump? Did you buy your account?
If you are as old as your UID implies you are, you should also be quite wise and intelligent. You aren't, so I don't think this is legitimately your account.
No doubt Trump's a racist, but I don't see that he's anti-Semitic. After all, he wants little guys with yarmulkes counting his money rather than black guys. But it doesn't matter if Trump personally hates Jews because so many of his supporters do.
The problem is that he panders to the anti-Semites, and no amount of pandering to Jews will negate all the pandering to people who hate Jews.
Every time Trump retweets a Pepe meme or talks about how the global banking conspiracy is stealing the election from him, the alt-rights all hear "ignore all the stuff I say to Jews -- that's all just pandering to them -- I've got your back".

So the 9(last I checked) sexual assault accusers, including at least one with a witness is completely fabricated, especially after he has described himself as one who forces himself on women because he's rich and famous?
It's quite ironic that while he's running for president, he's being accused of sexual assault, much like Bill Clinton was. And here you are.. defending him with every breath you take, trying to discredit the sexual assault accusations made against him.. are you going to start personally discrediting each woman accusing him Much like what HRC did for her husband? You could cut it with a knife, that very thick irony.

Nobody should read anything that comes from James O'Keefe, the failed self-righteous right-wing troll.
The Hillary camp is just as likely to say that Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital is likely to cause problems in the Middle east, especially with countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, neglecting that those countries sponsor both Isis and the Clinton Foundation. yada yada yada "my nuanced foreign policy"
Trump is an idiot no doubt. Any well rounded person could have a field day in a debate with Clinton. It is easy to make tacit links between actors all over the place, in this case, Hillary and Isis are linked in ways that she can't possibly deny. Though I am sure she will try.
Agent K: A *person* is smart. People are dumb, stupid, panicky animals, and you know it.

The P-word is clearly anti-Semitic, and therefore problematic. We must replace it with a new word. I propose precisice, since cis people don't deserve any protection from being used as part of a slur.

No she won't, because nobody will ask her.
That depends, are they liberal musicians and stars? If so, that's fine, we wouldn't want to be involved in any slut-shaming because women are free to use their bodies as they see fit. Otherwise they're sluts supporting the patriarchy by reinforcing the behavior of conservative men who feel they should be allowed to grab women by the pussy and ought to be ashamed of themselves.
All I ever wanted to do was play Hyperdimension Neptunia, watch anime about women's aquatic competitions, and fap to Japanese cartoon porn without having people scream at me for being deplorable, scream at my boss for hiring a deplorable man, scream at my company's customers for buying software from a company that hired a deplorable man, scream at the customers' employees for working for a company that bought software from a company employing a deplorable man, scream at the spouses of those employees for marrying a person working for a company that bought software from a company that hired a deplorable man, and so on.
I have now come to hate each and every last one of you on both sides, and I'm voting straight ticket libertarian next month.
From the beginning it was the shitposter-frog.
He wasn't actually a Nazi, he was an internet troll that played different personas, partly for trolling, but he was also freaked out by the what he saw as rising anti-semitism online. The main thing he was against was the identity politics of the left, (anti-white, SJW's) that's what he saw as the main thing fueling the "internet nazi's". Well he ended up going down the same rabbit hole and reached the same conclusions that the internet nazis did, and as a result, became the "sneaky jew". (that's my opinion at least) Still he believed in free speech, so rather than be the type of person who wants to censor everything online he made fake personas to mock and discredit the things he was against.
That's what I can sympathize with, someone who's jewish falling down that rabbit hole, not his actions afterwards. Trying to egg a radical muslim into carrying out a terrors attack is completely despicable.
declaring everyday items and symbols as hate symbols, to strike terror and distrust into the heart of fellow man!
they should add their own logo to their database of "hate symbols".
who do they think they are, to be able to decide whats a hate symbol or not?
why should we care what those fanatics claim?
Are you people SERIOUS? Well, if you needed proof that liberalism is a mental illness, here you go.
I swear, these liberal twats are TOO funny. They can't help themselves be anything but OUTRAGED about everything that they disagree with. So, now conservatism itself is a 'hate group'? Why? Because we respect the law (and law enforcement)? Expect people to get off their asses and work for their next meal? Respect other people's opinion whether we disagree with it or not? Expect to not be taxed to death to prop up people too lazy to work their asses off like the rest of us? I mean, my god that's just a HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE ideology, is it not?
I am bloody disgusted with whiny asses that feign outrage when someone disagrees with them. Liberals spend their lives finding shit to be offended over, and when they DO find something they brand supporters of that as some sort of -ist (racist, sexist, fascist, whatever). As if name calling will make it all better.
Liberals want everyone to think and act like them and if not you're reviled, outcast, made out to be the next Hitler (re: Trump). Who else could be called a racist for wanting to ENFORCE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAW? (And by, Mexican/Hispanic/Latino IS NOT A RACE you ignoramuses.) Who else could be called a sexist/misogynist for comments made over a decade ago by liberals, but who also defend an ACTUAL sexual assaulter in Bill Clinton?
Who else wants sodas banned because kids are fat, but also ban freeze tag, et. al. because kids might get hurt?
Who else calls spanking child abuse, then berates the teacher when their little cretins assault them?
Who else says Capital Punishment is inhumane, but supports abortion?
This list goes on and on. But let's not let Pepe the frog become a hate symbol.
You all want to know why we're fucked eight ways from Sunday in this country? Because fucking liberals are doing their god-damnedest to destroy it. The American flag is a hate symbol to them. The Republicans as well. Whites and their privilege. Words are the worst of all.
You want to know why we're where we are now? One word. Liberals. Not conservatives. Period.
