- _--__--__ 9mo agopol was made to contain all posting on the American culture war so it could be banned from the other (more active) boards
- jahsome 9mo agoIn no way?
- actionfromafar 9mo agoWell, broke the levee if you will. Otherwise, explain Pepe.
- GaryBluto 9mo agoI hardly think an internet image of a cartoon frog heavily influenced American elections, despite a surface-level co-option by various Republican politicians.
- actionfromafar 9mo agoI agree completely. I'm just saying, it's a symptom. The crazy found critical mass, broke containment. From there it was laundered in millions of Facebook groups and here we are.

- WetMinister 9mo agoYou’re acting as if https://doge.gov https://doge.gov does not exist. Ask yourself under which presidency, administration and kind of politics such is allowed to even exist with a straight face.
- GaryBluto 9mo agoIt would've existed regardless of internet memes, just under a different and similarly obnoxious name.
- whattheheckheck 9mo agoYou actually think if we replayed society and magically shut off internet memes it would have played out the exact same but under a different name?
- GaryBluto 9mo agoMore or less, but it depends on what is classed as an internet meme.
