  • Fascinating. I have never seen a fox and friends segment before, and listening to it I honestly couldn’t guess when this aired except it was after his passing in 2003. It’s interesting that so many of them were laughing when someone called him evil though. Gives off this feeling they don’t even believe it themselves but it was just their improv, Whose Line is it Anyway prompt.

    Oh and the irony of a bunch of evil people calling the nation’s most wholesome public figure evil.

    Oh I’m an uncultured swine. This meme has layers and I don’t understand any but that elon is in a negative light, would anyone be willing to enlighten me?

    Eta: I did the cursory Google of the song and do understand it is a known anti-facscist rebellion anthem. So I suppose if there is more to it than that I’m fascinated to learn








  • I really appreciate seeing an article written by someone who is actually familiar with the culture and history of the site.

    Qanon and Actual Nazis were not 4chan norm back in the day. The alt right nazi hateful shit was posted but it was more like larping/shock value immature crap and nothing like what we see in the mainstream social/media today. Misogyny too. I’m not denying that there weren’t people there who meant it but it was 99% shitposting. There’s also the hacktivism, social activism, soooooooo many memes like as substantial as YouTube as establishing the humor culture of the internet. I find the site so fascinating and much more than some cesspool of evil it became.

    It is weird it is gone. I suspect moot is not so interested in sticking his neck and wallet out to protect the freedom of speech for facscists trying to destroy democracy and that’s why it’s not back. I’m pretty sure 4chan has been down before for various reasons more substantial than hacking but it could be fabricated memory
