By the way - for complete morons of AT P&N that immediately shunned me in previous threads for denouncing Southern Poverty Law Center - see this bit and enlighten yourself for half a second.
This is an organizational lobbying group that convinced you buffoons that a FROG MEME is a racist hate symbol. You're all morons. You're sheep. Consider draining your brain cells from this earth for being that incompetent.
You just can't help making sure you'll forever be remembered as the dumbass that thinks "well its just 4Chan trolling" is a legit argument that something isn't being used to spread hateful rhetoric. But we already know you simply cannot understand...well basically anything. It couldn't possibly be that some groups that are deliberately spreading hate speech (and straight up have been exposed multiple times for trying to co-opt popular culture to do so) are using it, as well as people "just trolling". Nope, it can only be one or the other. Even dumber is that you keep trying to trash the SPLC over it when they've made it clear that it was being used for both of those as well as a more general innocent meme (I think its hilarious that you keep falling back to "its just 4Chan trolling" when you could make a much better argument by going "its just a normal meme used by lots of different people in different ways" but nope, you had to make the absolute dumbest argument you possibly could). They deliberately call out the fact that trolling jackasses like those on 4Chan enable more nefarious groups to spread their rhetoric by magnifying it. Further, you still act like those "trolling" 4Channers couldn't also be white supremacists themselves (I mean, considering how gleefully they like being labeled as such, you'd think maybe that's a little, odd, no? Not for you, because why wouldn't you want to be considered a white supremacist, after all you're "just trolling" who cares if you get labeled as pedophiles and white supremacists because, oh right you were spreading child porn and white supremacist rhetoric, but like that's even more proof that you're not a pedophile or white supremacist, you just like being considered one "for the lulz"; which have you seriously not thought at all how stupid that argument is, that your best argument is that well these people just like being considered pedophiles and white supremacists because it gets under people's skin; hmm, no idea why people on there don't like using anything that could be linked to their real identities...). But the SPLC is evil because they actually are pointing out how alt-right/white supremacist groups tried to use its general popularity as a meme to spread their hateful ideas. So yep, they're completely wrong about everything and can't be trusted!
But you can, because you're so keen to point out that a board that has a long established reputation of spreading hate speech was "just trolling", nevermind that, just like their reputation for child porn was because they took delight in spreading it, that super duper means they absolutely aren't pedophiles. So duh, them spreading hate speech extra means they aren't bigots in any way! I mean, regardless of if you believe it or not, you're literally doing the thing. But you're trying to claim that's not even true, that Pepe was not used to spread white supremacist rhetoric. Literally you've kept trying to claim that and your reason for that is that it allegedly originated on 4Chan. A board with a reputation for spreading, especially white supremacist, hateful rhetoric. And child porn. But somehow that means that they absolutely are not either white supremacists or pedophiles. I can't highlight this point enough. Your argument is literally that a group of people known for spreading white supremacist rhetoric were not actually spreading white supremacist rhetoric. Oh but they booted those people (because everyone basically told them that if you keep letting them do that shit, that they'll stop hosting them), so they got splintered off to the separate 8Chan. Except those people were on 4Chan (and still are, they just have to be more careful in the shit they post on 4Chan) and the scrutiny they brought to 4Chan gave 4Chan the reputation of spreading white supremacist rhetoric and child porn. But, according to you, that means it absolutely was not actually being used to spread white supremacist rhetoric.
Again, I iterate, you're claiming that the Pepe meme was not used to spread white supremacist rhetoric, because it was just people on 4Chan (who have a reputation for spreading especially white supremacist hate speech) doing that. That is your argument.
(Which we've already shown to you, that wasn't true, that people on Stormfront and many other places were doing that as well.)
But again, your best argument for why the SPLC is wrong about Pepe being used to spread white supremacist rhetoric, is that 4Channers were the ones putting the white supremacist sayings on it. But somehow that's not using the Pepe meme to spread white supremacist rhetoric.
Well we know you've already emptied your brain of anything worthwhile and filled it up with good old GOP diarrhea. But I think I'll pass on following your example. If you think you're actually a "free thinker" then you are one of the most delusional people I've ever encountered. Average cult members are less indoctrinated and more rational than you are.
And I'll just keep laughing when you try and go "oh so no argument, just calling me names?" when you do that more than probably anyone else on this entire forum. Which, frankly is actually better than when you try to make a legitimate argument because you seem to not understand how to make an argument in a way that doesn't actually expose your argument for being incredibly flawed. That's the reason why people don't respond other than to laugh at just how stupid your posts are, because your arguments, if you provide anything at all, lack any actual substance and generally just show how truly stupid you are.
Hell you're not even making an actual argument here, you're just going "look at these other people saying something" when you're taking the argument of one jackass (that absolutely has been trying to spread hate speech) who pointed to some examples of them being wrong (although he doesn't actually do much to backup that they were wrong about saying that he spoke at a conference in Iran; something we know other right wingers have done and intentionally tried to not let be known) and acting like that completely refutes them entirely. Oh noes, that means they're always wrong about everything! Even dumber is that you think people accept SPLC without question absolutely (mostly because that's what your right wing idols claim, which is literally how that guy started out his argument "you guys take SPLC as gospel?" he kept trying to get them to say "yeah I find the SPLC to be legitimate" because he was trying to get them in a gotcha of going "well see they claimed something that was wrong!" so he could then try to act like that refutes all the people pointing out what a piece of shit he is; I hope you realize most of us are capable of forming our opinions independent of the SPLC, and I knew about Pepe being used by white supremacists before they said anything about it - in fact it was the shit that I saw showing how they were using it that informed the SPLC of that). You're literally trying to dismiss others for appealing to authority, by appealing to another authority (that has shown to be full of shit) or demanding that we take you for an authority (when you've similarly repeatedly shown you're full of shit). And you seem to genuinely believe that your "4Chan did it!" argument is not both revealing how full of shit your argument is but also shows how incredibly stupid you are.
I want to again point out that you're claiming that the Pepe meme was not used to spread white supremacist rhetoric, while arguing that it was 4Chan putting white supremacist rhetoric on Pepe. Now, I realize that you probably have the mind of a child, but surely even you can see that if a group takes a meme and puts white supremacist rhetoric on it, that literally is using that meme to spread white supremacist rhetoric? That's literally exactly what that is doing. I'd say you cannot be this stupid, but I know you really are.
