This Needs to Stop. Take Two · 3:54am Mar 22nd, 2017
This video captures my point better.
Five years ago I never would have imagined Donald Trump, PewDiePie, and Jon Tron would be considered Nazi's or that Mel Gibson would ever be allowed to even attend the Oscars let alone get nominated.
Anyways, long story short I fought in the great meme war of 2016 and it has changed me a'lot. Freedom of expression is important to me, and I truly believe its under attack. There are people who believe that if you are not an ultra progressive you are either a racist or white supremacist, and its not just a few people. Identity politics (dividing people by race, gender, religion, sexuality ect) a has torn this country apart.
People being the pissed at the current President or even about an election isn't anything new to me. What's new to me is this social mob mentality and the hatred towards people who don't tow the line. What happened with PewDiePie and Jon Tron was abhorrent, and I believe it can happen to anyone of us if say or think the "wrong thing". Its also very hard not to be political these days because politics is practically shoved down are throats in entertainment.
I may test the waters with taking my frustration in a fun way with a fic. My love of memes has not changed.
Praise Kek.
I've been out of the loop on all things Jon Tron for a while, and haven't been able to get back into it until a couple of weeks ago.
What happened?
4467210 He got into a debate on Twitter about immigration with some guy name Destiny. He said something stupid in the heat of that debate and then the media wrote articles about him being racist. In the video I linked, you can actually see Jon turn into a Nazi, referencing what happened
4467221 So, to be clear, you're saying that while you may not always agree with what is being said, because it can be stupid, you find the fact that people are making pariahs of the ones who said it to be abhorrent.
Is that right?
...
Also, I'm Australian, so I tend to miss a LOT of anything political regarding the US.
4467273 America is kind of a mess right now politically. The Immigration debate has become extremely heated, mostly because people who believe we should have better control to prevent crimals and terrorists from entering are labeled as racist who want to smear ALL immigrants.
Jon was on the Trump side of the debate so I believe he was targeted for being vocal.
4467491 That clears up the political aspect, but doesn't answer the question.
4467495 I think it's like this
Let's say Apolyon is Trump
Knights are on her side but don't agree with everything that's going on.
Samurai and Vikings fuck the knights up in the online faction war.
I have not completed the For Honor campaign nor do I know what's happening in the US with politics.
4467503 Who the fuck is Apolyon?!
Um what exactly happened to PewDiePie and Jon Tron?

There you go
We have something in common. The sheperds from the Left of both of our countries of origin are elitist, corrupt cunts and the sheep are braindead due to the BSE (read: propaganda).
PS: Recently I have been into making propaganda(ish) posters and writing this comment gave me another idea :)
