Why is this a thing?!

I mean it literally could be a multitude of things. From a normal hand position posed for a picture, the dick game (which was a military favorite) to live long and prosper whoever, whatever, I dont know!

So while people are expending resources, scouring the internet to oust these white power photos. Or looking ridiculous accusing them of it, it was just as ridiculous as trying to defend a false internet meme that the LGBTQ community was wanting to accept pedos into the fold (which was later proven false).

This should be the message to this shit, if there even has to be one. You lay down with racists, dont expect suprised when you get lumped into with them.

If a black man kneeling during the anthem is somehow pissing you off, congratulations. You have something similar with the Klan.

Trump derangement syndrome

I'm sure we have all heard the term. At one time it kind of pissed me off that somebody would claim that about me, of course it would, who wouldnt it?

They say insanity is doing something over and over and over again, expecting a different result.

Everytime something comes from Trump, like a claim that Obama is a Muslim, or his kids post a disgusting tweet, maybe his administration says something incredibly racist like, "there are bad on both sides".Of course that is going to enrage a normal person. They are expecting a normal human, or president to do differently. But time and time again, we are served a nice plate of Trump. Why wouldnt this make me pissed, enraged, etc.

That's what is happening right now. Normal people are being driven insane by a litteral cartoon president.

Fake news and its implications

With everything going on these days online it's becoming harder and harder to to truly know if something is real or not.

Take for instance the latest attempt by Russian trolls/agents/whoever. It started in the depths of 4chan. They started the rumor that the LGBTQ community was accepting pedos with welcome arms. Then blasted to all there fake twitter accounts to the point that it was trending on twitter. Of course "somebody" is going out this on their website for clicks, and then the next thing you know FOX news is reporting that it's a fact.

This has cascading effects. First of all, now all of a sudden the LGBTQ community has to refute this ridiculous claim. Then people on the right, now say "look look! They love pedos!"

Interesting and scary times we live in.
