This new batch may be too far removed from the source code to really know what the fuck is going on. They just know they're part of something bigger than themselves. And it's not all that surprising because to be "a democrat" is a pretty ridiculous thing when you stop to think about it. These persons who are the new frontline meme warriors may not need to know why they are doing it and they may not care. I guess we'll call them the "alt-right" because reasons and it's as good a name as any. The best part of calling them alt-right is virtually no one on the planet can figure out what they stand for and what the organizing principle is. When I see media people try to explain it, it's absolutely hilarious.

They don't understand that a new symbolic language has been created right under their nose. And like any language it has the power to alter patterns of thought. Importantly, it is a language that has created new symbols of association. By the time anyone figures this out they're literally going to write books about how that assclown Milo started this or some shit. What they really should be looking at are the refugees of usenet, where they went, and what they did. But, that's not sexy at all...in fact that's hard work and if you didn't live it it's impossible to explain fully to a "normal" person.

Everyone had their moment. For some it was Oprah saying "over 9000 penises". but, whatever the moment it opened the eyes for how the production lines could change the real world. It just ramped up and up and up, quickly, right up to the first meme-based President a mere ~20 years into this process.
