I've bashed meme culture before for being the stupid thing it is. A generalized picture with some words on it. Not really well thought words, either. Dumb words, by dumb people, for dumb people. Bite-size thought viruses that infect critical thought deficient brains. This is right here is the vehicle by which we influence minds and it's pathetic.

But didn't realize that this is more like... P99's 4chan or something.

except instead of random anons its a shark attack of a small clique that posts here all the time. so he's doubly fucked.

Well I'm not advocating for government censorship. Just pointing "lol kill Darkie" Memes might encourage people to ya know -- kill darkies. So you should consider that a bit. It isn't all joke all the time.

i think people just need to be aware that humor can be a method of warming you up to ideas that you would find pretty abhorrent if presented to you in a straightforward way. memes are just the simplest vehicle for this since basically anyone can make them and there are a million free platforms to spread them. even people who are capable of critical thought dont necessarily think critically about the humor theyre exposed to and what the actual message of it is, so in a way its kind of a shortcut into your brain that circumvents your logical response to ideas.

It's up to people with the right ideas to ridicule and de-platform those people. Welcome to how it be like is, but it do these days. Yeah no shit those racist jokes lead to racism because they're by racists for racists. People self-select what ideologies they subscribe to and these days are very much an online war over ideas. And in that context, it kinda makes sense why painting frogs on your shit and shooting people might a logical next step.

Basically don't believe in anything too strongly, kids.

Agreed. But is it surprising this came out of 4chan?

memes may not have single-handedly caused it, but it isn't unreasonable to attribute a role to memes in the dark journey that brought that dude to this conclusion. if it doesn't traumatize you or isn't met with visceral rejection, repeated exposure to a thing most certainly does desensitize you to it. that's the importance of taboo, not only for ordinary man, but enlightened man. also, Rebecca's post is spot on.
