    Best case for shutting down the internet, imo. Bunch of people with internet poisoned brains in positions of power who would rather talk about an ape that died a decade ago than any problem facing a living human being today.

    I usually try to read the article…and I’m left wondering what in the ever loving fuck I just read.

    CIA looking for alien blood lines on 23 and me….I can’t tell real life from tabloid shit any more

    As for Harambe, he was not a patriot. He was a beautiful animal that was shot despite being a gentle soul who did not hurt a fallen child. He did not care about human politics or Trumpian bullshit. Lovely being, yes. Martyr, maybe. Patriot, no.

    Considering it’s a popular meme to trace the horrors of our current timeline to the demise of Harambe, it makes sense that this White House would honour his death. Without it they never would be where they are, doing what they’re doing.

    “… land of the apes … and the home of the stupid …”. Are you free enough? Are you brave already?

    First it was the suicidal penguin and now Harambe?

    With all the money they’re pissing away, you would think they could at least hire somebody to design a better propaganda campaign aimed at convincing their base to lay down their lives for the dictator… Or did AI take that job too?

    I prefer a meme-free white house, is that communism?

    We’re killing people overseas RIGHT NOW. We’re arming other countries doing the same thing RIGHT NOW. These aren’t joking matters. I won’t even get into the various financial problems we’re facing, whilst building a goddamn Octagon on WH the front lawn. If you don’t have something important to say, shut the fuck up white house.

    revolting brevity, Harambe would instinctively attack and dismember any of these clowns on sight.

      They’re trying to make it uncool to remember Harambe.

      And I bet from now on people will call it a right-wing dogwhistle any time you mention his name…

        It already was a right-wing dog whistle, it was popular among all groups but it was spread by white supremacist trolls.

          Since when? Lot’s of people talked about Harambe. What is this nonsense about it being a right-wing dogwhistle?

          Once people decide something is a dogwhistle, then they start calling anyone who says it names like white supremacist or whatever. You’re pulling weight for the fascists by insinuating that anyone who talks about Harambe is a white supremacist. That’s clearly what their intention is, don’t enable their conquest of language and culture by giving credence to that.

            It’s not a dog whistle so much as it was especially popular among racist 4chan type posters, that was the primary demographic who originally spread it and who the post is shouting out to. It became popular among all sorts of groups, I’m not saying anyone who references it was a nazi or something, a lot of memes used by the right are similar in this way. They will be something innocuous or co-opted from the left or other cultures like the swastika being an Eastern religious symbol. They use art and culture as a tool for their ends like this.
