Der Kommander

When you see a pile of money and a six-pointed-star as opposed to literally any other shape anyone could've chosen it's absolutely an anti-semitic thing.

All the assholes saying "bbbut that's a SHERRIF STAR" are full of poo poo and they know it. It's not like a 6-pointed-star is a particularly common shape. It's not one you'd think to use unless you were going out of your way to use. Like, say...on a giant pile of money.

It's pretty telling that upon realizing they'd just sent out an anti-semitic tweet from a white supremacist their first instinct was to edit around the explicit bigotry then re-tweet it.

Hey remember in 2012 when it became really clear that the Romney campaign was not just peddling bullshit- but knowingly and deliberately separating themselves from reality? Remember how a lot of us thought that they had to finally hear their wake-up call and they'd shape up?

8chan had pedos. And then 8chan became so lovely(aka too many pedos) that it when to 16 and maybe 32?

This was years ago so they might be up to a power of 2 that's in the 4 or 5 digit range now.

I would be extremely surprised if Donald could find his way around 4chan, which is basically unreadable. He staffers read it though and then share racists memes with Trump who thinks their funny.

The elevator pitch for Homeland for someone who hasn't actually watched it is that it features a secret Muslim terrorist who runs for office

I mean, it's within plausibility that they're a few steps removed - such as they saw it on the Facebook feed of a racist friend

But that hardly excuses not checking your source, or not just creating your own stupid memes

I don't even really understand how to read poo poo like Reddit and tumblr, which I guess is in order of popularity rather than chronology? How do you have a conversation?

Reddit in particular is intentionally designed to encourage circlejerks and completely shut down alternative opinions.

you don't really have conversations on *chan so much as a constant unfiltered stream of child porn and racism. it is chronologcal though

reddit basically is set up to sort the consensus opinions of 30 year old white male CS majors to the top and whiny minorities to the bottom. tumblr is a bunch of personal blogs that let you repost other people's blog posts so it's a giant clusterfuck

Tumblr is simple these days, comments are directly inc hronological order, earliest at top. But of course most people don't have conversations on tumblr posts directly they just say "cool picture" or "good meme".

Reddit is a bizarre algorithm that mashes together time, votes, and a nebulous relevance factor on top of the horrible threaded mechanism you used on early Usenet-inspired forums of the mid-90s. It combines the worst aspects of all known forms of internet forum/comment systems in a singularity of unusable.

Clinton's interns probably browse 4chan as well. Anything that pisses off /pol/ will be good ammunition for twitter. Also 4chan still makes memes, being on top of new memes will help keep Clinton relevant with millennials.
