Trying to sink a ship with a train. That's original, at any rate. :lulz:
And that's the second attempted terrorist attack on a health facility in the US in the past week because of coronavirus.
So... Am I reading this right? It says he was in the cab of the train holding a flare? Like riding it as it barreled through all those barriers and sliding through empty lots? Terrorism or not THAT is ballsy! I wonder what he thought was really going on if he was willing to apparently spontaneously do something like that.

What other attack Cain? I haven't seen anything come up in all the shit flying around.
The FBI had a shootout with a far-right extremist who was planning on bombing a hospital last Wednesday.
Woah man this whole conspracy bullshit is going nuts right now. German Nazis also arming up for a few years up until now and all I have is a front-loading musket from 18fuckiknow...
This isn't the future I was promised.
I was at least hoping for flying cars BEFORE the zombies, and now we have neither. Instead, we have a cadre of Nazis, half of the world doesn't believe in science, and a constant feeling of existential dread, surrounded by incompetency.
Now I have to die mad about it.

Pepe is not very popular around here. I like your avatar as a meme fusion that crucifies pepe, and thusly "Kek", but it's a safe bet Dok is not at all jelly.
so what does your choice of avatar mean to you?
Its evangelion and pepe, and before people start saying "pepe has been claimed by nazi's", I dont give a fuck what nazi's think. Hes MINE.

I always intended to take Pepe back. He's a good kid that just got mixed up with a shitty crowd. Moreover I intend to steal their "god" from them as well. silly fucks built a pseudomagical meme complex on IP they didn't own and mythology they clearly didn't understand.
since there seems to be a dispute of ownership with you Faust I propose that we simply divide the Pepe in two like King Solomon would have wanted.

Sorry to not fit in your comfort zones ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I used this avatar way before alt-right fucktards decided to abuse Pepe for their horrible causes.
Also the Evangelion metaphors played a large part in my early enlightenment, and just like Faust claimed, HE'S MINE

Pretty sure there's a way to split a frog three ways.

Yeah, you can fuck off with that nonsense right away.
"I know why you're actually concerned about this avatar and I'm even going to outright state it, but I'm going to make it like the problem is with you, and not the obvious associations it presents." Nah, doesn't work that way.
Didn't the creator of Pepe stop selling the merch while ago, since he felt the character was "lost".

How is Pepe more important to you than to his goddamn father? I'd like to hear that story. With enlengthened action sequences.
"His father" created a cultural icon, which spread as a meme, funny one. He was still able to sell merch at that point if not more than before.
Then a group of internet nazis co-opted it. Lets make that temporary and allow "his father" to start selling merch again.
Icons and symbols are powerful, if you willingly give them away to people with feble scared little word views then you are handing away that power and losing a battle with them

I googled "antifa pepe" to find this image
(https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fnycantifa.files.wordpress.com%2F2016%2F10%2F14440988_10202264278804166_299468784785365542_n.jpg%3Fw%3D597%26h%3D590&f=1&nofb=1)
but all the other search results have me thinking that using effort on that particular front would be wasteful and foolish.
In short, why should my change my behaviour because of the activities of a group of shitty people?
I like memes and anyone who tries to use them to push their agenda can go under the steamroller

Because shitty people doing shitty things affects everyone. Reacting to stimuli around you makes you alive.

Not willingly parting with something you enjoy to racists is a reaction, a far more valuable one then giving them a platform or any acknowledgement as human beings is to invalidate anything they would try enjoy. I enjoy memes, I enjoy not giving a fuck about what nazis think. I will continue to do both
Actionable nazi items:
A racist posts on this forum -> ban them
A racist says something idiotic in real life -> confront them
A racist tries to harm someone -> harm them instead
Non actionable items:
A racist somewhere else on the internet posts memes, some of which you like but have a different context when used. This becomes actionable if a racist appears and uses them here to support racist views. A meme in and of itself does not belong to the subhuman, it belongs to everyone
While I get you, I'm still not gonna give someone sporting swastika as "an ancient hindu symbol" a benefit of the doubt.
The frog man might be different, but we all know what's the association we can't not think about.
"Feels good man" is the association I have with that image, from when I saw it, possibly like 10+ years ago. It's all context.
I would agree with the swastika as for me and I assume it doesn't doesnt have any other context, unless the context was I was in India at one of the temples that still holds the mark (even then I think the traditional hindu version has a set of 4 dots in it and faces the opposite way).

I'm fine with that.
It's just the passive aggressive "sorry if you're offended"-esque bullshit that irked me, when he knows damn well why it raised eyebrows.
Yeah, hints and vibes of outlandish, hopefully there is a good creme for that

"This man is a moron", ok yes followed by "He is also possibly a Nazi".
When I post pepe in new places they might think both, but only the former is true
