"no one has been put onto a terrorist watch list simply for using that meme" Agreed that pepe is not apolitical and comes out of a dark corner But the linked article says "Flags from the left-wing Antifa movement. Depictions of Pepe the Frog," ... "They are all signs that extremists could be infiltrating the military, according to internal training materials " So according to that source ... maybe yes, potentially there was one put on a watch list, because he used that frog. But I kind of agree that it is warranted. A watch list. Not a list that gives you automatically problems. But a indicator to take a closer look before trusting that person with critical things. But chances are there is not just the frog. I have never seen a person using that frog who did not also used worse language and behavior. "Anticapitalists" on the other hand are usually people with a big mouth. The step from not liking the current system towards terrorism is a pretty big one. Also because anticapitalism is super vague. So I don't think it is quite the same thing.
