> Part 1 provides a historical overview of the relationship between the news media and far-right manipulators who leveraged trolling and meme culture during the 2016 US presidential election.
The film Feels Good Man (2020)[0] is a visually beautiful example of the same idea. Unexpected psychedelic sleeper hit of the year.

- cplusplusfellow 4y ago“Far” right is a ludicrous term these days given how centrist you can be and still be designated such. All that’s necessary is to be contra narratives - or question narratives that aren’t allowed to be questioned and suddenly you’re almost a nazi. With that said, “trolling” and “meme culture” was founded by far left activists on late night television during the Obama years, in my view. It’s a legitimate way of questioning narratives.
