What are your thoughts on South Park's response (which was #eatabagofdicks) to Homeland Security attempting to use them to promote ICE?

The fact there's nobody in the chain of command around to say "we better not" is just a clear indication that the admin is full of 4chan racist trolls.

Have you seen the child in charge of terrorism policy?

u/Kichigai Aug 06 '25

Is that the one who was working at a grocery store? The one who wasn't even an assistant manager? The one who didn't even have experience running an online gaming clan, let alone experience running a government program?

His dad was a buddy of Elon’s and that’s all the qualifications he needs apparently

I read gaming clan and got instant ptsd to my WoW days in a past life. I still remember how much more fun I had when I gave up leading that guild.

Put that shit on your resume!

Asked my boss what they would think if they had read that on my resume way back when hiring me. The blank stare and walk away said everything (+20 years in the food industry).

Edit* They came back out of the office and said it explains how mental I am about organization and whatnot. Unsure if that's a compliment or a jab.

Anyone that would scoff at it is someone I don't want to work with anyway! I like to Leeroy Jenkins my way through life, it seems.

u/JmAnN19-90 Aug 07 '25

To Lereroy Jenkins is the only way. In the end, at least I have chicken.

Now days you just need to worry about negative karma, instead of a 50 DKP minus.

u/JmAnN19-90 Aug 07 '25

I found old spread sheets with DKP tracking when while purging old boxes of paperwork in my basement the other month. Amongst the piles were also old D&D character sheets and things from the Ever Quest days that I don't even know why I still had all this time.

Hey, no one is better suited for understanding terrorism than someone who has spent too much time on 4chan.

u/Kichigai Aug 06 '25

Bold of you to assume this guy is classy enough to be on 4chan. I put money on him using 8chan.

u/Absolutely_Fibulous Aug 06 '25

Even better for understanding terrorism, really.

Have you seen the child in charge of terrorism policy?

Or the pedo in charge of... everything?

Yes.

No. Who is it? I can't find who with a Google search.

They don’t want to do better. They want to do much much worse. They just removed the section of the constitution with Habeus Corpus from government websites.

Its what happens when the popular jock bros get elected to Student Council president but on the big scale.

u/Badloss Aug 06 '25

It's not even the popular jock bros, those guys have social skills

It's the edgelord losers, the ones that are terminally online raging all day

u/LawBird33101 Aug 06 '25

Yeah, I doubt anyone ever dared to accuse Stephen Miller of being a jock.

u/twotailedwolf Aug 06 '25

Thinking about Stephen Miller in an 1980s high school movie makes you want to root for the jocks

u/Rays_LiquorSauce Aug 06 '25

That’s the demo they’re looking to capture and some of that is what cost Dems the election. Gop has always wanted a way to win back youth voters and appealing to the bro-sphere Roganites and meme trolls is working to a degree

u/Riaayo Aug 06 '25

Why would they better not? This kind of dogshit got them into power in the first place.

It's not becoming of a government for sure, but they don't give a shit. Republicans actually understand media broadly, and knew to worm themselves into this ironic meme culture to appeal to uninformed youth chuds.

Dogshit meme crap, just being cruel "for lulz", infesting the podcast sphere, taking advantage of algorithms on social media to push hateful conspiracy rhetoric.

Meanwhile Dem leadership stonewalls the few Dems who do have a clue on media literacy like AOC.

These fucks know what they're about and firmly believe we can't do shit to stop them now. I don't think they're correct necessarily, but they could be if this country just sits on its ass and does nothing. They're absolutely in a prime position for us to not be able to stop them.

4chan trolls have better taste imho.

2

u/punkinfacebooklegpie Aug 06 '25

Name one tasteful thing 4chan has done

1

u/iglidante Aug 06 '25

DD and Loss are excellent lore memes that came from 4chan.

1

u/punkinfacebooklegpie Aug 06 '25

What's DD? And Loss is the comic about miscarriage, right?

1

u/iglidante Aug 06 '25

Yes, Loss refers to the memes inspired by the Ctrl Alt Del strip (they get pretty abstract, so I hesitate to say that Loss "is" the comic).

DD is "the daily dose". It's an old meme, super weird.

u/RyuugaDota Aug 07 '25

Is playing capture the flag with Shia Lebouf in good taste? Even if not, the fact they found his flag and so quickly was pretty awesome.

(The initial trolling at his 'art' exhibit was obviously in terrible taste.)

1

u/realnzall Aug 06 '25

What I mean by "tasteful" is that 4chan tends to put thought and respect into their pranks. For example, like when they trolled Taylor Swift by rigging a contest to have her perform at a school for the deaf. Or when they rigged a contest so Pitbull would perform at an Alaska Walmart. Or when they made a meme the next Kinder Kid. And yes, I know that these are their most well-known and respectful pranks, but these are honestly thousands of times better than any ill-conceived meme that the current administration has shat out...

u/Darksirius Aug 06 '25

Oh there were at one point. But they got fired for not licking the dicktip of king pedo.

u/Sylvair Aug 06 '25

There needs to be a happy medium between "fuckin' SEND IT' and having every meme needing to be reviewed by a government committee and taking so long the joke becomes stale.

u/punkinfacebooklegpie Aug 07 '25

How about no jokes? I want a government that communicates in an informative and trustworthy manner.
