He's shitting them out faster and they're getting less coherent. I get the impression they were all recorded around the same time.

He's been wearing the same exact red sweater and red pull over, or maybe it's a cardigan, with the same exact hair style for close to a month. I have no doubt that he recorded them all in a single day so he can do this autistic release schedule while he's on break.

I watched the pirate grape jelly video and the yellow paint video and I have no idea what about this is racist misogynistic or whatever the fuck else he said.

mfw I hear a dog whistle and someone points out that I know a lot about things that are so heavily encoded that I'm not supposed to hear them.
"Today specifically I wanted to talk about the phrase "cute and funny", what it means, and how it's become something of a very insidious online meme and signal. In short, the phrase "cute and funny" emerged from reactionary image board websites like 4chan and 8chan as a longer and nominally more acceptable way of coyly alluding to the word "cunny". Cunny itself being a dated term originally used to describe a woman's genitals which online pedophiles now specifically use to refer to sexualized drawn representations of female minors and other feminine characters with very childlike physiques. The people who use this term, "cute and funny", are doing so in order to partially obfuscate the fact that they are talking about wantonly pedophilic materials without any normal people who might see them being much the wiser. Either that or they think their interest in pedophilic materials is some sort of joke that can be treated as something to make light of. It's not necessarily the most subtle term in the world but if you don't know what it means it might still be easy to overlook. So if you ever happen to see the phrase "cute and funny" being used to describe something online now you know why and it should register to you as a pretty big red flag because it's the term pedophiles use to communicate their interest in certain pieces of media"
Won't be so cute and funny when you're spitting out teeth, chud! I think this is the first non bullshit video he's done lol
"To this end, one of the bits of terminology which the online alt-right frequently uses is the term "moon runes". This is a disparaging way to refer to foreign languages which use different letters and written symbols, especially Asian scripts like those from Japan, Korea, and China. A lot of the far right worldview is based on a fear and an animosity towards foreign cultures, referring to languages other than other than English as being essentially gibberish, like this is a favorite way of many online reactionaries to be bigoted without necessarily being so overtly racist as to get all that widely noticed by normal people who would find their unfiltered beliefs offputting and wrong."
I'm am now working with a guy to get an 8 hour, ASMR lullaby remix of Card saying lovingly saying "moon runes". I will sleep like the sleepiest baby in the safest of space.

How is it racist?
"Today specifically I wanted to talk about chimpanzee feed and how it's become a part of contemporary reactionary iconography, particularly in online spaces. Anonymous image board websites like 4chan and 8chan are home to a lot of far right-wing people who use something of an ever evolving cannon of esoteric memes to communicate. Usually, people like that largely just congregate on the designated political boards of image board websites like those where they talk amongst themselves and share resources and sometimes make plans for things to do offline. Theoretically, it should be easy for an outsider to observe the these particular areas of these image board websites and be able to sus out what people are doing there and even infiltrate the online communities which start off as collections of these image board posters but, in order to prevent this from easily happening, regular posters on the political sections of these alt-right adjacent websites will co-opt the obtuse lingo and memes of other parts of the site in order to make it that much more difficult for someone unfamiliar with these terms to follow along with anything that's being said. Additionally, by doing this, online alt-righters will then be able to recognize one another on the rest of the Internet by referencing these terms and jokes and if they're ever called out for openly referencing a reactionary image board term, because these jokes and terms and memes don't often appear to be openly offensive, they've got a bit of undue plausible deniability to try and wiggle out of the accusation. On a site like 4chan, for example, users of the infamous pol board have adopted many of the terms and jokes created and popularized by the exercise and fitness subsection of the website. To that end one strange meme that pol regulars will use to communicate amongst themselves and locate one another on other websites is to make references to eating bulk purchased, zoo grade chimpanzee food. Among 4chan users the idea of eating chimp food is understood to be part of an old, surreal joke about how one might best save money while eating well that was popularized as a satire of excessive frugality among amateur bodybuilders. Now this old joke is just something of a way for really hardcore, experienced 4chan users to reference something really oblique that most outsiders, that is normal people, won't know about. That's why alt-right types started to use it because it's something you would only properly know about and recognize if you had been on 4chan for quite a while. Plus being a reference to a joke that started on 4chan's fitness board the whole thing ties into a lot of the modern, online far right wing's interest in bodybuilding and personal aesthetics. The point is, if you happen to see people online nowadays jokingly referencing buying the sort of uh food that zoo chimpanzees get that's something they've picked up from being in some pretty noxious places online and they're likely referencing it in the hopes that someone with views similar to them will notice it and pick up on the fact they're familiar with alt-right terminology and therefore likely likely at least sympathetic to their views."
There's no better guilt than guilt by association. How do you know this meme that was used by racists, hmmmmm? It must mean you agree with them right, hmmmmmm? Do you make plans to do racist things offline with them too, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? Card's teasing that he's already inflitrated your community of hate so there's no point in denying any of my allegations. The only way you would've ever seen it, outside of twitter, facebook and reddit, would be on /fit/...wait...how do I know what /fit/ is and how to write it? OHS NO! I'VE WHISLTED TO THE DOGS!
"To this end, one of the far-right talking points that people will often attempt to jokingly bring up online are allusions to a 1967 military accident at sea, commonly referred to as the USS Liberty incident. This is a reference to the far right-wing myth or conspiracy theory that during the Six Day War in the Middle East in June 1967 the Israeli Air Force intentionally attacked an American Navy vessel, the USS Liberty, that was in the Mediterranean Sea at the time of the war. This is supposedly proof that Israel, or the Jewish people as a whole, secretly all don't like the US and that they'll leap at any opportunity to attack and potentially hurt American servicemen. In reality, during the course of the Six Day War there was an accident in which the USS Liberty an American vessel was briefly fired upon after failing to adequately identify itself as being an American ship but it was not sunk not by the Israelis or by anyone else for that matter. When reactionaries referenced this myth that Israel intentionally sunk an American vessel they're just knowingly perpetuating very harmful untrue stereotypes about Jewish disloyalty or incompetence. So if you ever see someone online trying to bring up this untrue story, seemingly all apropos of nothing, at the very least now you know why and it should register as a pretty big red flag."
See? They didn't ACKSHOOLEE sink the boat! You're just perpetuating misinformation and claiming that Israel is disloyal to America and have been deboonked, good sir!
"Today specifically I wanted to talk about the word "Scholars" and how it's become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal, particularly in online spaces. In short, in a lot of online reactionary circles, calling someone a "scholar" is a particular loaded way of attacking someone's intelligence sarcastically. This points to a broader disdain for intellectualism or expertise that is pretty common in online right-wing communities but in particular it's very common for the online alt-right to use "scholar" like this specifically when talking about a black person because a core part of the highly racist far rightwing worldview is that any black person, or all black people, are deserving of being attacked or denigrated like this on the basis of their supposed lesser intelligence. As with any dog whistle or obtuse reactionary internet term it does help to be able to spot these sorts of things so that you can sus out any online situation properly which you can only do if you know what these sorts of terms and bits of iconography mean in the first place."
The weak minded racist fears the educated minority.
They're also afraid of this real and accurate explanation of why people have made "scholar" into a pejorative.
"To that end, one strange meme pol regulars will use to communicate amongst themselves and locate one another on other websites is to invoke the term architect, which is a term they've associated with the actor Pierce Brosnan. Among 4chan users, there's this old running gag where Pierce Brosnan is jokingly called a chubby chaser or a man specifically into larger women. They call him the architect as an allusion to the idea that he would like to build women he's dating up into being bigger. This is all a weird joke based on a long-standing supposition that a lot of the women Brosnan has dated publicly have started suddenly putting on a lot of weight and there's a whole pseudo law explaining this within the oeuvre of image board culture. The point is, this old meme is just something of a way for really hardcore, experienced 4chan users to reference something really oblique most people won't know or understand. That's why a lot of alt-right types started to use it because it's something you would only properly know about and recognize if you had been on 4chan for quite a while. So if you happen to see people online referencing Pierce Brosnan in connection with larger women or the name the architect that's something they've picked up from being in some pretty noxious places online and they're likely referencing it in the hopes that someone with views similar to them will notice it and pick up on the fact they're familiar with alt-right terminology and therefore likely at least sympathetic to alt-right views."
Jokes, no matter how funny or universally understood they are, are never jokes if they have EVER been touched by I politically disagree with! If you even so much as SMIRKED at images like these
then you should lose your job and banking privileges!
"To this end, one of the phrases far right types will use to covertly signal their beliefs to one another are the numbers 13/50. To the far right, this is a reference to a supposed statistic that in the US black people make up roughly 13% of the population but are allegedly responsible for 50% of all violent crime. It's essentially a way for racists to call black people violent and Savage and it's of course worth noting that no real American crime tracking figures actually support the assertion that black people over there are responsible for such a disproportionate amount of crime in the first place but still alt-righters like to believe that their bigotry is built on any sort of merited concern rather than just reactionary fear of people unlike them. So you'll often see them posting these numbers 13 and 50 at one another in the comment sections of websites like Facebook and Twitter where more overt racism might get them banned."
Card is right. The FBI didn't lock up and shoot Drumpf for being an evil Nazi which proves that they are not a real source of crime figures.
"Today specifically, I wanted to talk about the word "Janny" and how it's become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal particularly in online spaces. Simply put, in the terminology of online alt-right trolls and provocateurs, "janny" or "janitor" is a derogatory way to refer to any given website's moderators and rules enforcers. Naturally, online trolls hate anyone who's role is to prevent people from ruining a website or a forum with their presence and their actions and this sort of term, "janny" or "janitor", is derived from the view of many trolls that moderators are simply there to clean up after them and of course most reactionaries look down on the very idea of custodial work, deeming it lesser, hence the likening of anti-troll moderators to janitors. Additionally many online reactionaries will demean the fact that most of these internet janies do what they do for free which, again, is something they see as worthy of mockery. If you see this term online somewhere its user is most likely a ne're-do-well who's washed in from an image board website like 4chan or 8chan where, of course, the term "janny" is very common. It's not necessarily the most subtle reactionary meme in the world but if you don't know what it means it might still be easy to overlook. So if you ever happen to see the word "janny" somewhere online for seemingly no reason at the very least now you know why and it should register to you as a pretty big red flag."

LMAO I saw that comment too. I went back to relisten to Null's review of Sneed and he mentioned it too. I looked around at his other videos at that time and he's almost always in front of the box with the skull in it. In fact, it seems like him showing off the skull is an accident which is a little bit concerning.

"Cardposting1 day ago (edited)
A big thanks to everyone who watched my big 'Don't Just Denounce Vaush, Divest' video, and a doubly big thanks to all the other content creators on the platform who took the time to share it with their own audiences. I'm really thankful that my effort to bring attention to a real predatory figure on this website got a decent bit of attention.
Also, a few people have been asking me about this, so I figured I might as well say something on the matter here - I did try to get in touch with the other couple of people I named in that video, but not to much success.
I sent @DemonMama one email to the address listed on her YouTube channel. She didn't respond.
And I messaged with @PresidentSunday back and forth for a little bit after he expressed an interest in wanting to talk to me about the video. Ultimately, I don't think he watched it. Although he did briefly want to set up a discussion, we had a little difficult scheduling one, and he declined to respond after I asked if he'd be able to get me in contact with the operator of WhiteLeaf (who he had interviewed recently).
C'est la vie."
I swear I've heard of Demon Mama before, maybe when Vaush leaked his porn folder. I guess he's some breadtube troon.
President Sunday is...this
I hope they stay the hell away from Card and do not corrupt him with their uber faggotry.

He actually started his email with "Hello there. My name is Card. I'm a long time community organizer and activist." I actually cannot believe it. He is an absolute treasure and we must protect his smile.

I don't know what Card is going to achieve here? DM and WN won't take his complaint/chat/disscusion he wants with both of them to heart and do anything about it.
I won't call Card stupid, just unaware of how those two act, especially WN who runs the Forest Network(?) and funded by Vaush.

"Today specifically I wanted to talk about the term Austrian painter or the Austrian painter, what that means, and how it's become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal, particularly in online spaces. In short, Austrian painter is one of the little coded terms internet reactionaries will use to obfuscate or hide what they're really talking about. It means Adolf Hitler, the leader of Germany, and reactionaries and Neo-Nazi types will typically substitute the term Austrian painter for his name when they want to talk positively about him without people around them necessarily catching on. It's simply a nod to the fact that Hitler was born in what is today Austria and before he got into politics Hitler had a brief interest in the Arts. Reactionaries use coded terms like this so that what they're really talking about goes unnoticed by the vast majority of people all the time. It's not necessarily the most subtle dog whistle in the world but if you don't know what it means it might still be easy to overlook. So if you ever happen to see people online commenting how much they love Austrian art or an unspecific Austrian painter just keep in mind that this is a way alt-right types do covertly signal their beliefs to one another and it should register to you as something of a red flag."
I did not know that Adolf Hitler was the leader of Germany until this day. I just thought he was a Nazi. Thank you Card for this wisdom.
"Simply put, roasty is something of a crude off-color insult that has become very common on a lot of image board websites like 4chan and 8chan where for a few years now it has been used by reactionaries to mock women in a sexually demeaning way. The term roasty is derived from the very incorrect idea that a woman's labia will become visibly stretched or disfigured from having multiple sexual partners to the point where it will supposedly eventually resemble slices of roast beef. This idea has zero actual medical or scientific basis but it is still used by a lot of misogynistic and incel communities to shame women for their sexual activity or perpetuating harmful stereotypes about women's bodies and sexual behavior. It's part of a broader pattern of behavior of objectifying and degrading women, particularly in online spaces where reactionary and far right groups congregate. It's not necessarily the most subtle reactionary meme in the world but if you happen not to know what it means it might still be easy to miss. So, if you ever happen to see the word roasty somewhere online for seemingly no reason at the very least now you know why and it should register as a big red flag."
I respect women and their labias. I trust the science when it says there's no harm in being ran through.
"To this end one of the far right talking points that people will often attempt to joke bring up online are allusions to a religious practice which is supposedly common among Jewish people called the Metzitzah B'Peh. Alt righters and neo-Nazi types claim that this is a common or routine variation of a ritual Jewish circumcision, wherein the efficient uses their mouth to extract blood directly from the circumcised child's genitals and they claim, since this is supposedly so routine and what they allege is happening is surely horrible, that by extension they're basically claiming the entirety of the Jewish religion is inmeshed in pedophilic, blood sucking rituals. The truth of the matter is that the Metzitzah B'Peh isn't actually a routine element of circumcision at all nor does this procedure that alt writers describe as genital blood sucking necessitate anything like the direct use of the mouth on a child's genitals at all. That's a wholly incorrect characterization of a ceremonial practice that isn't even particularly popular these days in the first place but when reactionaries reference this myth or urban legend that Jews commonly engage in ritualized blood sucking they're just knowingly perpetuating very harmful untrue stereotypes about Jews for the purposes of ginning up anti-semitic sentiment. This all ties into a form of anti-Semitic rumor mongering that's been going on for Millennia called blood libel. So if you ever see someone online try to reference or bring up this untrue myth, seemingly all apropos of nothing ,at the very least now you know why and it should register as a really big red flag."
Anyone who brings up the Metzitzah B'Peh is a far right, reactionary troll and should be blocked and reported. Almost every search engine and the New York Times is also ran by Nazis as they have pictures of this thing that does not happen happening. DO NOT USE!
"Today specifically I wanted to talk about the phrase "dindu nuffin", what that is what it means, and how it's become a contemporary reactionary meme, particularly in online spaces. "Dindu nuffin" is essentially a pseudo Ebonics phrase which means "didn't do nothing", as in "didn't do anything", and it's used specifically to mock and denigrate the stereotype that black people, particularly black people in the US, eschew responsibility for anything bad they've done, especially in relation to racialized police shootings and the like which alt-right types always blame on the person shot. The phrase "dindu nuffin" is often seen in the sort of racist cartoons and memes made by alt-righters on the Internet in which black people are portrayed as saying "dindu nuffin", representing that aforementioned stereotype. Among Internet reactionaries just saying "dindu nuffin" is a way to refer to that pejorative stereotype in a way that won't likely attract much attention from anyone unfamiliar with the term but it will still be seen and noticed by other racists familiar with the phrase and it's the sort of thing someone would only have ever picked up and learned how to use offensively by being around to pretty noxious people on the internet. So whether online or offline if you hear someone supposedly joking around by using this term just know that it's a phrase made by, and only really used by, racist, far rightwing types."
The phrase "dindu nuffin" has only ever been uttered by racist, far rightwing types. This is proof that Doja Cat is a racist.
Literally shaking rn.
"Today specifically I wanted to talk about allusions to seasoning, as in the herbs and spices added to food to enhance its flavor, and how they've become a contemporary reactionary signal of sorts, particularly in online spaces.

So what American alt-right types, in particular, have taken to doing is rather than referring to any sort of racial minorities directly they'll call non-white people like blacks, Latinos, and Asians, people who put a lot of seasoning on their food. This is something of a nod towards pejorative stereotypes about food from beyond the white, Anglo world and now it's a way for racists to communicate their beliefs to one another with the slightest veneer of abstract obfuscation away from what they really mean and give themselves a tiny bit of plausible deniability in the event someone does try to point out that they're a racist."

Austrian Painter
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about the term Austrian painter or the Austrian painter, what that means, and how it's become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal, particularly in online spaces. In short, Austrian painter is one of the little coded terms internet reactionaries will use to obfuscate or hide what they're really talking about. It means Adolf Hitler, the leader of Germany, and reactionaries and Neo-Nazi types will typically substitute the term Austrian painter for his name when they want to talk positively about him without people around them necessarily catching on. It's simply a nod to the fact that Hitler was born in what is today Austria and before he got into politics Hitler had a brief interest in the Arts. Reactionaries use coded terms like this so that what they're really talking about goes unnoticed by the vast majority of people all the time. It's not necessarily the most subtle dog whistle in the world but if you don't know what it means it might still be easy to overlook. So if you ever happen to see people online commenting how much they love Austrian art or an unspecific Austrian painter just keep in mind that this is a way alt-right types do covertly signal their beliefs to one another and it should register to you as something of a red flag."
I did not know that Adolf Hitler was the leader of Germany until this day. I just thought he was a Nazi. Thank you Card for this wisdom.
Roasties
How is it racist?"Simply put, roasty is something of a crude off-color insult that has become very common on a lot of image board websites like 4chan and 8chan where for a few years now it has been used by reactionaries to mock women in a sexually demeaning way. The term roasty is derived from the very incorrect idea that a woman's labia will become visibly stretched or disfigured from having multiple sexual partners to the point where it will supposedly eventually resemble slices of roast beef. This idea has zero actual medical or scientific basis but it is still used by a lot of misogynistic and incel communities to shame women for their sexual activity or perpetuating harmful stereotypes about women's bodies and sexual behavior. It's part of a broader pattern of behavior of objectifying and degrading women, particularly in online spaces where reactionary and far right groups congregate. It's not necessarily the most subtle reactionary meme in the world but if you happen not to know what it means it might still be easy to miss. So, if you ever happen to see the word roasty somewhere online for seemingly no reason at the very least now you know why and it should register as a big red flag."
I respect women and their labias. I trust the science when it says there's no harm in being ran through.

Cardposting spotted in the wild, getting dunked on by a dude who makes Sneedpost songs.
Post it in this thread too, guys.this faggot really thought he was clever by commenting that on this post.
Baby Sneed literally said he would hook people up with the flacs for free, and shartposting tried to epically own him by saying people can just use a youtube downloaded to get the songs. I wonder if he thinks he's sticking it to a nazi sneedposter by glancing at this, and he just didnt read the rest of the post.
Heem 'em all.

I really don't get why he covers extremely old 4chan/general internet memes as 'far right dogwhistles'.
How the fuck is Bond Burgered a dogwhistle? Is he literally clicking the random meme button on KYM?
If he was actually making an informative PSA guide on 'Far Right' dogwhistles you'd think he'd cover memes that are y'know; relevant. Scroll on Xitter and do research because that's where relevant shit is made instead of a joke that an anon made back in 2011.
Sometimes he covers stuff that people actually use in the Year of Our Lord. But most of the time it's extremely old slang from like 2008 (An Hero) or something that's completely innocuous (Baneposting).
Then there's various 'dogwhistles' that ideologically don't really match up and sort of breaks the illusion that this 'Far Right' isn't exactly a monolith.
Guys who complain about 'Capeshit' or 'Yellow Paint in Video Games' call to mind the likes of Critical Drinker and Mauler who are definitely *not* 'Far Right' by any means. They wouldn't hang around guys who would post memes about the Dancing Israelis or Merchants. And the same guys who made jokes about Jamaican Knitting Forums and Moon Runes are more likely to grow out of their terminally online phase because those were relevant literally 10 years ago and now basically live as normal people (or worse, troon out).
And the funniest part is that he basically doesn't really provide any counter against what he preaches against.
Let's say you really are an ardent anti-antisemite and want to totally own da chuds when it comes to the USS Liberty and you stumbled across Card's video...
He literally doesn't offer any sort of real counter-argument with a source or in a way that can actually dismantle their argument. It's basically just "you're spreading a conspiracy theory, now I will block and report you". This isn't just only that one video, pretty much every video he doesn't really have a good counter-argument as to why something is wrong or unfunny other than "well it's associated with 4chan and its bad because that site lets you say the n-word" and every solution is literally just: "identify the dogwhistle, report and block them" but like that stopped anyone before lol.
So these are functionally useless videos through and through where he still repeats the same fucking 2 minute intro with like 30 seconds of actually original content. And of course, no one actually watches his videos aside from people who only show up to mock him. I don't know if he has other socials but he also does a pretty piss poor job at marketing his videos and showing them to the audience he wants to so desperately inform.
Card is just a masochist at this point or perhaps a really good troll.

Wagies
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about the word wagie and how it's become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal, particularly in online spaces. Simply put, in the terminology of online alt-right trolls and provocateur, wagie is a derogatory way to refer to essentially anyone who works a job. A lot of online trolls and image board shut-ins hate, for lack of a better term, normal people and this extends to anyone who participates in society and this term wagie literally means someone who works for a wage. Now crucially reactionaries aren't using this sort of term to make any critique of wage labor under capitalism like a leftist might. It's a product of the edgy, nihilistic, antisocial, online far rightwing worldview and the people who parrot this phrase do so basically just because they spurn the real world and feel personally grieved. It's like how a lot of far right incels can't get over the fact nobody wants to date them so they go all sour grapes and incorrectly start to look down their nose at anyone who does have a healthy social life. Unemployed reactionaries cope by calling anyone who has found gainful work a wagie. If you see this term online somewhere its user is most likely a ne're-do-well who's washed in from an image board website like 4chan or 8chan where, of course, the term wagie is very common. It's not necessarily the most subtle reactionary meme in the world but if you don't know what it means it might still be easy to overlook. So if you ever happen to see the word wagie somewhere online for seemingly no reason at the very least now you know why and it should register to you as a pretty big red flag."
Card don't get no wage to take down the vile alt-right. He does it for free. When a leftist critiques wage labor under capitalism it's a good thing because it's from a leftist's point of view because they hate capitalism. When the far right does it it's edgy, nihilistic, and antisocial and they do it because they're unemployed. Knowing the difference will help keep your safe space safe!
"Mystery Meat"
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about the term "mystery meat" and how it's become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal, particularly in online spaces. In short, the phrase or term "mystery meat" is one of the little coded ways racists and hardcore alt-right types will refer to people they don't like without most normal people catching on. Were a racist willing to be openly bigoted towards a minority group group on a big mainstream website like Facebook or Twitter or YouTube, for instance, they pretty quickly get called out and likely face the consequences of being racist like getting banned or excluded from those bases. One of the racial minority groups the alt-right hates in particular is mixed race people and what alt-right types have taken to doing especially in the past few years is to refer to mixed race people as "mystery meat", pejoratively referring to their mixed ethnic background of course. This is a way for racists to communicate their anti-race mixing beliefs to one another with the slightest veneer of abstract obfuscation away from what they really mean and to give themselves a tiny bit of plausible deniability in the event someone does try to point out that they're they're a racist. So if you see someone online describing someone else as a mystery meat or curiously mentioning how much they dislike meat of an unknown background, all apropos of nothing, now you know the reason why and it should register as a pretty big red flag."
Does racism know no bounds? I will eat three tins of Spam, straight out of the can, to show my solidarity to all of those mixed race children and to let the Nazis know that I mean business!
Excessive Tipping
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about allusions to excessive tipping and how that's become a contemporary reactionary signal of sorts, particularly in online spaces. In short, when reactionaries complain about excessive tipping, as in giving a service worker a gratuity as reward for their work, they might appear to be merely critiquing the growing social expectation in some places, especially in the US, to tip very generously or to tip for services that historically didn't involve tipping. However, when you see this online it's often actually one of the little coded ways alt-right types signal their real beliefs to one another online without most normal people catching on. See when reactionaries complain about excessive tipping it's actually an illusion to a core element of the alt-right's social mythology. They believe that an unseen group, which is to say a global Jewish cabal, is secretly conspiring to make the service provided in businesses like restaurants and cafes worse all while normalizing the expectation that customers pay more and more as part of an elaborate humiliation ritual on the rest of mankind. Modern far right-wing types really believe this and they believe that if they all fight against the further normalizing of tipping culture that will be a win for them against the Jews. Now, crucially, it must be pointed out that the reactionaries aren't making any sort of serious critique of tipping or of the surface industry or of the reliance of many people on receiving tips in the same way a leftist, who is against tipping culture, might. It's all purely a product of their insane conspiracy theorist mindset. It may be possible for some with genuinely good intentions to levy a critique of the economic systems which perpetuate the need to tip service workers of course but at the same same time just be aware that this is something the alt-right also feels strongly about and for entirely the wrong reasons. So if you ever happen to see someone online complaining very conspicuously about tipping it could potentially be something of a red flag so maybe take a closer look at what else they say so you can sus out their intentions properly."
You can only complain about tipping if you're doing it as a leftist who's critiquing capitalism. All other forms of tipping complaining are bigotry created in the crucible of Jew hate.
"Muh"
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about the word "muh", spelled M-U-H, as well as what it means and how it's become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal, particularly in online spaces. A lot of dog whistles used by right wingers online are simply old memes and in jokes from image board websites like 4chan and 8chan. The reason for this is that these sorts of pseudo anonymous, edgy online forums have been favorite online spaces of the Internet savvy alt-right for as long as the alt-right has been a thing and, therefore, being able to readily quote and reference a bunch of old obscure image board jokes has essentially become a way to demonstrate your extensive familiarity with sites like 4chan and 8chan and so on and if you know the meme culture of these sorts of sites then 99 times out of 100 that can be taken as meaning that you're also familiar with and likely sympathetic to the far right-wing political worldview long nurtured there. It's not a big leap then that a lot of online reactionaries use knowledge of these old jokes and references as a way to signal their alt-right bona fides to one another anytime they're posting or commenting somewhere online where they can't be so open about their extreme and really nasty beliefs. If you say something obviously bigoted on a big mainstream site like Twitter or Facebook or Reddit or YouTube people will notice and you'll suffer the consequences but if you couch your bigotry behind coded jokes that only the other 8chan nerds will get you can find friends and spread your messaging without most normal people being any the wiser. To this end, one of the bits of terminology which online alt-right types frequently use is the word "muh". This is a sarcastic way a lot of online reactionaries will express their belief in the allegedly trivial or overly emotional nature of social justice messaging which they believe or at least claim is a big problem. The word is meant to be a dismissive way of ignoring progressive or liberal causes and it's something that a lot of 4chan types like to parrot, thinking that they're making some sort of point, when in actuality, of course, there's nothing wrong with someone caring about progressive issues. The way it will be used is most commonly as a prefix of sorts before a topic which a reactionary is dismissive of. For example, suppose an alt-righter sees a post made by a leftist talking about the importance of green environmental policy then the alt-righter will simply comment "muh environmentalism" or on a post or in a public online forum space talking about the vital need for access to abortion related healthcare a reactionary might just spam "muh baby killing" or if the topic is the long history of anti-Semitism in the west a Neo-Nazi might say "muh 6 million" or "muh Holo hoax" because they're just being dismissive and disrespectful of the topic. Like a lot of stuff the online rightwing does this is dumb but this is a way alt-right types signal their beliefs to one another they want their buddies to know how much they don't like progressive causes but in a way that most progressives still seem to turn a blind eye to. So if you happen to see someone online using the word "muh", all apropos of nothing, it should be a pretty big red flag."
They alt-right only uses "muh" to attack and trivialize progressive issues. They have never used it to be dismissive of anything other than progressive issues. If someone "muh"s you, block, report, and do not feel bad because in actuality, of course, there's nothing wrong with someone caring about progressive issues. 8chan nerds WISH they could care about something as cool as abortion or going over the holocaust for the infinite time!
Dog Disparity
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about allusions to supposed differences and disparities between breeds of dog as well as what that means and how it's become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal, particularly in online spaces. A lot of the online, far right congregate most of the time on dedicated reactionary forums and image boards where they're free to be as openly bigoted as they want to be but whenever they're on the normal, regular side of the Internet they'll often reuse a lot of the same alt-right jokes and memes and talking points they would with other reactionaries but they'll couch it all in abstract language and obtuse references so that it flies over the heads of most normal people. If you consider yourself a socially conscious progressive you should try to familiarize yourself with a lot of the general references and talking points online reactionaries will bring up so that you don't let them fly under your radar when they're trying to spread their ideology and signal their beliefs to one another online. After all, knowing is half the battle. In particular, a lot of the reactionary content you might see posted online that you should be aware of are hateful racist jokes and tropes that have simply been lifted straight from neo-Nazi forums and the like and given the slightest veneer of obfuscating abstraction away from what they really mean. To this end, one of the ways alt-right types and other racists will covertly or interpersonally attempt to communicate their racist ideas is to substitute the names of types of dogs for types of people in their racist online screeds. For instance, if an online racist just openly said they think white people are better than black people and that we ought to kill or remove all black people they'd very quickly get called out for being racist and suffer the consequences like uh getting banned or blocked from whatever platform they're using and people would know that they're a racist *jump cut* but if that same online racist said that they think golden retrievers are better than pitbulls and that we ought to impound all the pitbulls almost no one except the other racists who get the subtext would pick up on what they really mean. This is the a sort of way modern online racists will code their language and once you start to pick up on it it's easy to understand. They might call white people golden retrievers or Aryan whites, in particular, German Shepherds. Black people become pitbulls because of the stereotype that pitbulls are genetically predisposed towards violence and aggression and can't be trained well. They call Jews borzois because of the borzoi's long nose and curly hair to stereotypically Jewish traits and they might rephrase their anti-Semitic conspiracy theory so that it sounds more like the borzois are subverting golden retriever Society by bringing in more chihuahuas to diminish the breeding stock of Western kennels. It's not necessarily the most subtle reactionary meme in the world but if you don't know what it all means it might still be easy to overlook. So if you ever see different breeds of dog being invoked like this somewhere online for seemingly no reason at the very least now you know the reason why and it should register to you as something of a red flag."
This is why cat ladies are inherently good and the future because dogs and noticing that there are differences in the breeds is racist.
"An Hero"
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about the term or phrase "an hero" as well as what that is, what it means, and how it's become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal, particularly in online spaces. A lot of dog whistles used by right wingers online are simply old memes and in jokes from image board websites like 4chan and 8chan. The reason for this is that these sorts of pseudo anonymous, edgy online forums have been favorite online spaces of the Internet savvy alt-right for as long as the alt-right has been a thing and, therefore, being able to readily quote and reference a bunch of old obscure image board jokes has essentially become a way to demonstrate your extensive familiarity with sites like 4chan and 8chan and so on and if you know the meme culture of these sorts of sites then 99 times out of 100 that can be taken as meaning that you're also familiar with and likely sympathetic to the far rightwing political worldview long nurtured there. It's not a big leap then that a lot of online reactionaries use knowledge of these old jokes and references as a way to signal their alt-right bona fides to one another anytime they're posting or commenting somewhere online where they can't be so open about their extreme and really nasty beliefs. If you say something obviously bigoted on a big mainstream site like Twitter or Facebook or Reddit or YouTube, for example, people will notice and you'll likely suffer the consequences but if you couch your bigotry behind coded jokes that only the other 8chan nerds will get you'll you'll be able to find friends and spread your messaging without most normal people being any the wiser. To this end, in the terminology of online alt-right trolls and provocateurs, to "an hero" is to commit suicide and a "an hero" is someone who has. The term itself comes from the image board site 4chan which in 2006 discovered the online obituary of a teenager named Mitchell Henderson who tragically took his own life that same year. A message left on Henderson's public obituary by a grieving family member described him as "such an hero" which people on 4chan evidently thought was funny and the 4channers focused on this slight error of phrasing to the point where it became something of a stock term to throw around ironically to describe deceased people *jump cut* then once it faded out of relevance it just became an obscure term people might only really use if they wanted to make it known they knew old 4chan means, which is how the term is primarily used to this day. If you see someone online telling you to become "an hero" they're telling you to kill yourself in old 4chan lingo uh and specifically they want other old 4chan dorks to know that they are also an old 4chan dork. It's not necessarily the most subtle reactionary meme in the world but if you don't know it means it might still be easy to overlook. So if you ever see the phrase "an hero" somewhere online for seemingly no reason at the very least now you know why and it should register to you as a pretty big red flag."
Only 4chan dorks and 8chan nerds will tell you to become "an hero". Chad Card and his Cardstock will stare into your eyes and tell you "Hello there. You should engage in the act of self harm most commonly known as suicide. Suicide is a term that has been around for awhile now and refers to the act of ending one's own life and you should do that, preferably in the more violent the better. Hope this helps." Keep your safe spaces and iPods safe from Nazis.
Cornflakes
How is it racist?"Today specifically I want to talk about pointed allusions to liking Cornflakes the breakfast cereal as well as how that's become a contemporary reactionary signal and meme of sorts, particularly in online spaces. In short, Cornflakes, the well-known breakfast cereal, were invented in the late 19th century by John and Will Kellogg, a pair of strident 7th Day Adventists who had a big interest in promoting bland and unstimulating food stuffs because of their beliefs that that sort of diet would promote more moral behavior. Cornflakes and the Kellogg's brand persists to this day, of course, although the overt moralizing has been dropped from their advertising but many people on the online hard right wing know this little factoid about the origin of Cornflakes and they've turned it into something of a symbol of their politics because many online alt-rightists consider themselves Christian moralist types and think that a return to 19th century moral values would be a good thing for the world and they express this belief amongst themselves by referencing among other things eating Cornflakes. They convey their political allegiances to each other by saying things like they want to return to Cornflakes values or by making memes with Kellogg's iconography in them because they all think is funny and true and they know it'll fly completely over the heads of most normal people online. All that said, now if you happen to see people online loudly or conspicuously mentioning how much they like corn flakes specifically, all apropos of nothing, now you know the reason why. Maybe look for some more context clues but you can be pretty confident it's likely just reactionary posturing."
You may think that Card is desperately reaching with this video but that's because your brain is weak from eating slop like oats, steak, eggs, or Wheaties. If you see someone eating a bowl of bigotry like this
then you should kick them out your house and potentially make them a ward of the state. True progressives feed their wife's kids breakfast cereal with the most
They are the future, after all.
Grabblers
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about images of a character commonly referred to as the Grabbler as well as what that is what it means and how it's become part of contemporary reactionary iconography, particularly in online spaces. In short, a lot of the online alt-right terms and memes that the altright uses are just modern digital rehashes of tired old neo-Nazi content. To that end, one of the most enduring and reused online far right-wing symbols is this image which is commonly referred to as the Happy Merchant.
This picture was created by a prominent neo-Nazi cartoonist, being designed to play off of old anti-Semitic stereotypes about Jews like they're covetous or greedy and it's essentially a stand-in for the archetypal Jew in the alt-right imagination. However, it should be noted that this isn't the only image like this which is based off of anti-Semitic stereotypes which the alt-right likes. In 2009 the satirical comedy news outlet The Onion released a sketch where the punchline to the whole thing is essentially that one character ends up unwittingly drawing an anti-Semitic caricature as the supposed personification of financial stress in their life. This is that caricature
It's referred to in the sketch as the Grabbler and ever since neo-Nazis and other far rightwing types have been using it earnestly as an anti-Semitic of sorts. Often they'll even use the fact it's from a comedy show as something of a defense if they ever get called out on their blatant anti-Semitism but make no mistake if you see this posted somewhere online it's because a Neo-Nazi thinks it's funny."
Anit-Semitism is never funny and Ben Collins should be ashamed of himself for buying such a horrific site as The Onion. If you find Card posting posting images right over his own face like it's a low effort photoshop funny then you are probably racist too.
Hot Pockets
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about pointed allusions to Hot Pockets, an American brand of microwavable sandwich product, as well as what they mean and how they've become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal, particularly in online spaces. A lot of dog whistles used by right wingers online are simply old memes and in jokes from image board websites like 4chan and 8chan. The reason for this is that these sorts of pseudo anonymous, edgy on online forums have been favorite online spaces of the Internet have the alt-right for as long as the alt-right has been a thing and, therefore, being able to readily quote and reference a bunch of old obscure image board jokes has essentially become a way to demonstrate your extensive familiarity with sites like 4chan and 8chan and so on and if you know the meme culture of these sorts of sites then 99 times out of 100 that can be taken as meaning that you're also familiar with and likely sympathetic to the far right-wing political worldview long nurtured there. It's not a big leap then that a lot of online reactionaries use knowledge of these old jokes and references as a way to signal their alt-right bona fides to one another anytime they're posting or commenting somewhere online where they can't be so open about their extreme and really nasty beliefs. If you say something obviously bigoted on a big mainstream site like Twitter or Facebook or Reddit or YouTube, for instance, people will notice and you'll suffer the consequences but if you couch your bigotry behind coded jokes that only the other 8chan nerds will get you can find friends and spread your messaging without most normal people being any wiser. Firstly, it must be noted that online alt-right trolls and provocateurs absolutely hate Internet forum and website moderators. Naturally, online trolls hate anyone whose role is to prevent people from ruining a website or a forum with their presence or their actions. A lot of the time if you see really vocal anti-website moderator sentiment online the person posting it is most likely a ne'er-do-well who's washed in from an image board Forum like 4chan or 8chan. To this end, one of the longstanding memes of the sort, which online alt-right trolls acknowledge between themselves and use to demean moderators, is to strongly associate them with Hot Pockets, which is a brand of inexpensive, low-end, microwave cooked sandwich like food stuff. They make this comparison insultingly. The implication being that if you liked or ate lots of Hot Pockets it must be because of your poor core standards for food or your reliance on only eating the most easily cookable food on the market or some combination of the two. There's a lot of material out there alt-right types directly vent their hatred of online moderators with and this is one of the themes or pieces of iconography they most frequently invoke, online moderators eating lots of Hot Pockets. It's not necessarily the most subtle reactionary meme in the world but if you don't know what it means it might still be easy to overlook. So if you ever see Hot Pockets being directly associated with Internet moderators somewhere online for seemingly no reason at the very least now you know why and it should register to you as something of a red flag."
You hear that racists? Stop talking about Hot Pockets, a brand of inexpensive, low-end, microwave cooked sandwich like food stuff. You demeaning unpaid moderators by reminding them that they can only afford to eat slop like Hot Pockets is bigotry and will no longer be tolerated!
Burger King Crown
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about cardboard Burger King crowns
and how they've become an element of contemporary reactionary iconography, particularly in online spaces. In short, in 2020 an American man named Ryan Brewer was removed from an airplane after he began shouting racial epithets at other passengers. Footage of this soon went viral online and given his language Brewer himself became particularly popular with posters of the infamous image board website 4chan. In the footage, Brewer is seen wearing, strangely enough, a cardboard Crown distributed as promotional merchandise for the fast food chain Burger King.
Ever since these crowns have become something of a symbol of reactionary grievance and they soon began getting incorporated into the memes and alt-right propaganda imagery made by the sorts of online reactionaries who frequent image boards like 4chan. The crown itself becoming a symbolic representation that the person wearing it has the sort of world view that would lead someone to shouting racial slurs publicly which the online far right sees as very laudable. If you've ever seen someone online posting pictures of people or characters wearing the sort of cardboard Burger King Crown at the very least now you know the reason why and it should register to you as something of a red flag."
True progressives eat at Taco Bell. In the future, all restaurants will be Taco Bell.
Poison Dart Frogs
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about the term poison dart frogs, what it means and how it become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal, particularly in online spaces. In short, poison dart frog is one of the little coded terms internet reactionaries use to describe or label people they don't like. It's a reference to a real type of animal, poison dart frog, which is a whole sub type of highly toxic very brightly colored amphibians native to South America.
A lot of online right-wing types like to conflate these frogs with progressives, particularly progressive women, or at least the stereotypical image of a progressive women these people have in their heads. This is an allusion to the notion that progressive women are toxic in their eyes and to the stereotype that a progressive woman, uh, would have loud, unnaturally dyed hair so they're like the frogs, supposedly. It's not necessarily the most subtle reactionary meme in the world if you don't know what it means it might still be easy to overlook though. So if you ever happen to see the term poison dart frog being used to describe people online for seemingly no reason at the very least now you know why. It's a term straight from misogynistic, women hating, incel forums and the like which they use to describe the imagined Lefty chick archetype but a lot of guys online seem to live in constant seething fear of. As with any dog whistle or obtuse reactionary internet term it does help to be able to spot these sorts of things so you can sus out any online situation properly which you can only do if you know what these sorts of terms and bits of iconography mean in the first place."
This term is so vile that it is both misogynistic AND women hating! I cannot believe that racists are fearful of dyed hair like this!
Alberto Barbosa
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about images of a man commonly referred to as Alberto Barbosa as well as what they mean and how they've become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal, particularly in online spaces. In short, this image of a black man wearing a Portuguese flag head scarf is known as Alberto Barbosa by online alt-right propagandists and provocateurs.
It was made in in 2015 by users of the infamous image board website 4chan and the image itself is simply a photoshopped piece of promotional artwork from the computer game Age of Empires 2 but the this picture was made as a way to signal its posters beliefs in the alt-right worldview. The meaning conveyed by the photoshopped Alberto Barbosa image is meant to be so obtuse that typically only other reactionaries would pick up on it if it gets posted somewhere but what it conveys is a belief in the great replacement conspiracy theory, which is a core element of modern reactionary thought and what that is is essentially the notion that white Europeans are being replaced by non-white foreigners for the benefit of some unseen global cabal and the idea that this Alberto Barbosa picture speaks to, in a somewhat tongue and gek fashion, is that this is now supposedly what a typical Portuguese person looks like where he still got a typical normal Portuguese name, Alberto Barbosa, but he's visibly of African extraction. If you see someone online invoking the name Alberto Barbosa or posting this image or some variation of it where it'll have perhaps replaced the standard Portuguese flag design on the head scarf with that of another countries the reason it's being posted is because some image board ne'er-do-well wants to let all the other image board ne'er-do-well who might see it know that they're in on this conspiracy theory. That's the reason this image exists it's a direct reference to the great replacement Theory."
If you've only seen and known this image being used with the We Wuz Kangs meme and have never heard the idea that it somehow represents the great replacement theory
The you're just fucking stupid and need to educate yourself more gooder.
"Current Thing"
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about the phrase "I support the current thing", what it means and how it's become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal, particularly in online spaces. A lot of dog whistles used by right wingers online are simply old memes and in jokes from image board websites like 4chan and 8chan. The reason for this is that these sorts of pseudo anonymous, edgy online forums have been favorite online spaces of the Internet savvy alt-right for as long as the alt-right has been a thing and, therefore, being able to readily quote and reference a bunch of old obscure image board jokes has essentially become a way to demonstrate your extensive familiarity with sites like 4chan and 8chan and so on and if you know the meme culture of these sorts of sites then 99 times out of 100 that can be taken as meaning that you're also familiar with and likely sympathetic to the far right-wing political worldview along nurtured there. It's not a big leap then that a lot of online reactionaries use knowledge of these old jokes and references as a way to signal their alt-right bona fides to one another anytime they're posting or commenting somewhere online where they can't be so open about their extreme and really nasty beliefs. If you say something obviously bigoted on a big mainstream site like Twitter or Facebook or Reddit or YouTube, people will notice and you'll suffer the consequences but if you couch your bigotry behind coded jokes that only the other 8chan nerds will get you can find friends and spread your messaging without most normal people being any the wiser. To this end, one of the bits of terminology which the online alt-right frequently uses is the phrase "I support the current thing". This is a sarcastic way a lot of online reactionaries will allude to the supposedly disingenuous or performative nature of social justice messaging which they believe, or at least claim, is a big problem. The phrase is meant to refer to the way progressive advocates will supposedly begin to support whatever pressing new issues become the subject of media attention and it's something that a lot of 4chan types like to parrot, thinking that they're making a point, when in actuality of course there's nothing wrong with someone caring about a new subject. Once they become aware of it like a lot of stuff the online right-wing does this is dumb but this is a way alt-right types do signal their beliefs to one another online so if you see someone on online using the phrase "I support the current thing", all apropos of nothing, it's a big red flag. They are an image board shut-in who wants all the other image board shut-ins to know they revel in their disinterest about current events."
Slacktivism IS activism and anyone who says otherwise is 8chan nerd shut-in who's jealous of progressivism.
Crabs' Legs 
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about crabs' legs and how they become a part of contemporary reactionary iconography, particularly in online spaces. Anonymous image board websites like 4chan and 8chan are home to a lot of far right-wing people who use something of an ever evolving cannon of esoteric memes to communicate. Usually people like that largely just congregate on the designated political boards of image board websites like those, where they talk amongst themselves and share resources and sometimes make plans for things to do offline. Theoretically it should be easy or an outsider to observe these particular areas of these image board websites and sus out what people are doing there and even potentially infiltrate the online communities which start off as merely collections of image board posters but in order to prevent this easily happening, regular posters on the political sections of these websites will co-opt the obtuse lingo and memes of other parts of the site in order to make it that much more difficult for someone unfamiliar with these terms to follow along with anything that's being said. Additionally, by doing this online alt-righters will be able to recognize one another on the rest of the Internet by referencing these terms and jokes and if they're ever called out for openly referencing a reactionary image board term because these terms and memes don't often appear to be openly offensive they get a bit of undue plausible deniability to try and wiggle out of the accusation. On a site like 4chan, for example, users of the infamous pol board have adopted many of the terms and jokes created and popularized by the television and film subsection of the website. To that end, one strange meme poll regulars will use to communicate amongst themselves and locate one another on other websites is to reference purchasing crabs' legs at a cinema concession stand. Among 4chan users, buying crabs' legs at the cinema was originally just a surreal joke which played off the idea of there being melted butter at cinema concession stands for popcorn but now this old meme is just something of a way for really hardcore, experienced 4chan users to reference something really oblique most people won't get and that's why alt-right types started to use it because it's something you would only properly know about and recognize if you had been on 4chan for a while. So if you happen to see people online referencing the idea of buying crabs' legs of all things at the cinema it may sound like just a dumb joke but it's actually something they would have picked up from being in some pretty noxious places online and they're likely referencing it in the hopes that someone with views similar to them will notice it and pick up on the fact they're familiar with alt-right terminology and likely at least sympathetic to their views."
You hear that, 4chan dorks and 8chan nerds? Card is sick of you stealing memes from /tv/ and making them racist n sheeeeeeeeeeeeit! Theoretically, he's already infiltrated your ranks and knows of your plans of doing stuff offline! He will track you. He will find you. You will know your bigotry has come to an end when he stands over your broken body and whispers "Hello there".
I made it purely for his videos. They are so autisticly robotic that I find them pretty fascinating. I don't know much of anything about who Card is as a person but I find him to be very silly in his ridiculous attempts to save the world, one kind greeting and pointless/wrong explanation at a time. Like, look at the "an hero" vid. He made the conscious decision to include an iPod in it, which is part of the lore I forgot until I went back and looked it up, but he never explains it or even mentions it. Look at the Barbosa video. He's convinced that it's purely in reference to the great replacement. I have never once in my life heard of it being used like that. Maybe it's a newer thing but I have only seen it used as a We Wuz Kangz joke or blacks pretending they were always part of some other, non-black, country or culture. The original was done to mock the inclusion of Portugal in the AoE2 expansion The African Kingdoms. That's in the opening paragraph of the Know Your Meme article. Two or so weeks ago he did a video on "do not redeem". Not only was he convinced that the Kit Boga video that the phrase originated from was completely staged, he was convinced that purpose of the phrase was to create a racial stereotype that pajeets are impatient. That is so unbelievably wrong that it's staggering. That video alone is what convinced me to just copy down his "explanation" of video's topic because nothing I write will be as funny as letting him speak for himself. Card is an unbelievably silly man and I hope this thread inspires more people to become Cardstock and do their own Cardposting.
I saw this comment on the Crabs' Legs video and I lol'd.

"LAST"
How is it racist?"Today specifically I want to talk about the acronym L-A-S-T, or "last", what it means and how it's become part of the contemporary reactionary vocabulary, particularly in online spaces. Alt-righters and other racists will often congregate online in their own forums and message boards and websites where they can talk as openly as they want about their reactionary views and their hatred of minorities. In these sorts of spaces they don't shy away from using blatantly racist and homophobic and transphobic language but they will still occasionally feel the need to go to more mainstream websites like Facebook and Twitter and Reddit which they'll do in order to look for other people vaguely sympathetic to their views they can recruit into more organized reactionary groups and in order to be able to see what regular people are talking about online. They want to keep up with, uh, news and current events that sort of thing. However, when hardcore bigots are lurking the regular normal side of the Internet they can't be as openly reactionary as they'd like to be. So in order that a lot of the topics they post or comment about only go noticed by other people with the same far right-wing worldview as them what they do is employ a lot of oblique online right-wing terminology that most people wouldn't be able to intuit the meaning of. To that end one of the more opaque references alt-right types will make in order to signal their beliefs covertly is to invoke the word "last" in their comments and messages online, often capitalizing it or intentionally making it the first word in a sentence in particular. Doing this is a way to signal to one another their reactionary belief, specifically in the notion that an event or an occurrence of some sort is a false flag and usually falsely blaming this on the influence of Jews. A false flag is an act carried out by someone with the intention of blaming another group and it's an old far right-wing trope to say that much of what you see in the news, like acts of terrorism and mass shootings in particular, are false flags perpetrated by a global Jewish cabal. The reason alt-righters signal their belief in this sort of worldview with the word "last" or the acronym L-A-S-T is because each letter refers to a major incident they believe is proof that this is is something that really happens and that they believe the unseen Jewish cabal to have been behind. L stands for the Lavon Affair, A stands for Operation Ajax, S stands for the Sandy Hook shooting, and T stands for the Gulf of Tonkin incident. These are all events which the alt-right widely believed to be in interconnected elements of some far-reaching Jewish conspiracy which, suffice to say, is not actually real or even worth debating the realness of, but if you happen to see people agitating online and they're conspicuously or repeatedly including the word "last" in their posts or comments this is what they're covertly signaling their belief in. Typically only other people who are aware of and sympathetic to their extremist far right-wing worldview are meant to notice that they're using this word to convey what they actually think when they're trying to fly under the radar of normal people. They're saying something real is actually a false flag and they're blaming the Jews for it."
Anyone who says that the Gulf of Tonkin incident was a made up event to justify America's involvement in Vietnam is a bigot who's trying to turn you into a racist. Anyone who says Operation Ajax was a real CIA op to secure oil probably drives an SUV because they hate the environment. Anyone who says the Lavon Affair was a false flag op ran by Israel against Egypt is a neo-Nazi who uses neo-Nazi websites like wikipedia. Anyone who questions Sandy Hook is a non-science truster and will be sued for a billion dollars.
Vivian James
How is it racist? You know it's serious when Card fires up his attack UFOs and changes his shirt!"Today specifically I wanted to talk about images of a character commonly referred to as Vivan James as well as what they signify and how they've become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal, particularly in online spaces. In short, this character is Vivan James.
She was created by users of the image board website 4chan in 2014 as an avatar of sorts of the gamergate reactionary harassment campaign. Her innocent girl design and her use as an avatar in the first place was designed to deflect criticism away from the largely non-innocent, non-girl people who participated in gamergate. It should also be noted that a lot of her design itself incorporates a lot of other subtle 4chan memes, uh like the purple and green jumper she's usually depicted wearing is an allusion to an old running image board joke about rape called The Daily Dose. Her hair being ginger is another reference to the online conspiracy theory about keeping redheads out of modern media adaptations that's pretty popular on 4chan. She's usually got hair accessories shaped like a four leaf clover, that's a nod to the 4chan logo, and the reason this character is called Vivian James is because Vivian James is meant to sound like video games but the real point here doesn't have to do with her overt design itself but rather what this character conveys and what someone posting this character is attempting to signal to others who might see it. Back at the height of gamergate someone posting a picture of Vivian James, particularly their own redrawn version of her, was making a pretty clear demonstration of the fact they supported all the targeted harassment and bullying of mostly women in the games industry that gamergate was all about. This of course was a way for them to signal the fact that they were in on all the 4chan led harassment stuff while they could still pretend not be associated with it or to downplay what it was really about. Nowadays, about a decade later, gamergate itself is long dead so the people still posting Vivian James are essentially just image board die hards who still want to signal to the other image board die hards out there that they're still fighting the culture war they believe is targeting all gamers and Vivian James is still being redrawn by people online. Here are a few more examples I've seen recently.
Note that the drawings themselves may vary a bit between individual artists but there are a lot of common elements to her design you can watch out for and really, suffice to say, no one is realistically ever posting this character for any good reason and to that end anyone who tries to tell you it's just a drawing is lying to you, lying right to your face about what it signifies and considering how closely associated the 4chan gamergate crowd would turn out to be with the real hardcore online neo-nazis and the like consider exactly why someone might be lying to you about this."
Vivian James was NOT created after /v/ raised a bunch of money for ass cancer research with The Fine Young Capitalists! She was created to deflect criticism away from non-innocent, non-girls so they could freely harass real-innocent, real girls on the interwebs! Anyone who tries to tell you it's just a drawing is lying to you! Lying right to your face!
Blue Jews
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about highlighting particular people blue in photos online as well as what I mean by that and how it's become a contemporary reactionary signal and meme of sorts. A lot of the online far right congregate most of the time on dedicated reactionary forums and image boards where they're free to be as openly bigoted as they want to be but whenever they're on the normal, regular side of the Internet they'll often reuse a lot of the same bigoted, racist, homophobic, transphobic jokes and memes and talking points they would with other reactionaries but they'll couch it all in obfuscated language and obtuse references so that it flies over the heads of most normal people. If you consider yourself a socially conscious progressive you should try to familiarize yourself with a lot of the general references and talking points online reactionaries will bring up so that you don't let them fly under your radar when they're trying trying to spread their ideology or signal their beliefs to one another online. After all, knowing is half the battle. In particular, a lot of the reactionary content you might see posted online that you should be aware of are hateful anti-Semitic jokes and tropes and conspiracy theories that have simply been lifted straight from neo-Nazi forums and the like and been given the slightest veneer of obfuscating abstraction away from what they really mean. One such piece of Neo-Nazi Forum iconography which has increasingly begun to appear on mainstream websites like Twitter and Facebook in recent years is where someone will post a picture of a group of people or a compilation of head shots of people in an organization or a group or similar and some of the people will be highlighted in a shade of blue. This is a covert way of signaling that the blue people are Jewish or supposedly Jewish and of course that the person posting the image thinks that this is a bad thing. For example, here's an image I found recently which, at first blush, might just appear to be the hosts of the American news network MSNBC.
Note how some of the people here are blue. This is actually a Neo-Nazi meme of sorts alleging that MSNBC is infested with Jews but most people wouldn't pick up on that. There's thousands of these sorts of images floating around out there online and most people wouldn't intuit what they mean if they saw it but this is one of the little veiled ways that anti-Semites signal their beliefs and share their propaganda amongst themselves online. It's worth noting of course that often who gets highlighted in these images as being Jewish isn't actually Jewish, it's not necessarily all that accurate in the first place, nor is any of the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory nonsense about Jews secretly infiltrating every organization true either but anti-Semites would like you to believe that actually seemingly about half of everyone with a job anywhere is is actually Jewish. Like a lot of reactionary talking points it starts to fall apart when you question it even a little but just keep in mind what this blue highlighting stuff means. If you ever happen to see someone online posting this sort of stuff, seemingly all apropos of nothing, at the very least now you know why and it should register to you as something of a really big red flag."
It makes you wonder what they meant by this?
"Owning Nothing"
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about the phrase "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" as well as what that is what it means and how it's become a contemporary reactionary signal and meme of sorts, particularly in online spaces. Simply put, among reactionaries invoking this phrase, "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy", or some similar variation of it, eludes to the far right-wing conspiracy theory that some unseen global cabal of elites wants to force everyone on Earth to give up all of their private property and this unseen global cabal is going to enforce your willing compliance with this happening. The whole cabal thing smacks of classic anti-Semitic tropes but specifically the phrase is associated in the minds of the reactionary right with the supposed machinations of the world economic forum and its founder Clause Schwab, which is a run-of-the-mill NGO many right-wingers think is secretly a covert front for worldwide satanic communism or whatever. Of course, I'm sure I don't need to spell out the fact that this is pure right-wing fantasia mixed in with no small amount of a victimhood complex over being made to do something against your will that hasn't actually happened but a lot of reactionary people in the world sincerely believe that there's a conspiracy to get them to happily give up all of their stuff and when they want to signal to one another they're hip to this conspiracy they'll often decry the owning nothing and being happy about it concept, which is the particular phrase right-wingers have latched onto using to describe this hypothetical future, likely just because of its vaguely menacing undertones. So if you do ever happen to see people online throwing around the phrase "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy ", all apropos of nothing, now you know why. They're likely a paranoiac, scared that the elites are going to start making them live like curiously happy little peasants any day now."
Remember, it doesn't matter how many times people like Clause Schwab says talks about infiltrating governments
it's still RACIST!
"_____ Could Be Here..."
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about a particular copypasta, or an easily spammable block of text, which begins by explaining that a particular group could be here, as well as what that is, what it means, and how it's become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal particularly in online spaces. A lot of dog whistles used by right wingers online are simply old memes and in jokes from image board websites like 4chan 8chan. The reason for this is that these sorts of pseudo anonymous, edgy online forums have been favorite spaces of the internet savvy alt-right for as long as the alt-right has been a thing and, therefore, being able to readily quote and reference a bunch of old obscure image board jokes has essentially become a way to demonstrate your extensive familiarity with sites like 4chan and 8chan and so on, and if you know the meme culture of these sorts of sites then 99 times out of 100 that can be taken as meaning that you're also familiar with and likely sympathetic to the far right-wing political worldview long nurtured there. It's not a big leap then that a lot of online reactionaries use knowledge of these old jokes and references as a way to signal their alt-right bona fides to one another anytime they're posting or commenting somewhere online where they can't be so open about their extreme and really nasty beliefs. If you say something obviously bigoted on a big mainstream site like Twitter or Facebook or Reddit or YouTube people will notice and you'll suffer the consequences but if you couch your bigotry behind coded jokes that only the other 8chan nerds will get you can find friends and spread your messaging without most normal people being any the wiser. To this end, one of the little coded in jokes image board reactionaries use amongst themselves is to post or comment the text of a 4chan written copypasta which begins with a racial slur before describing that a group of the aforementioned racial slurs could be here.
It basically continues with the racial invective like that for a while but as a dog whistle most reactionary image board users will recognize the post itself and the meaning behind it from just the opening line or from the image of a man at a petrol station which the copypasta is associated with.
Therefore there's a lot of alternate versions of this that get posted all over the place. I recently saw this one which is ostensibly meant to be a post written uh merely from the perspective of Captain Ahab from Moby Dick
but I can tell it's actually another variation of this racist screed very easily. Minor variations of the copypasta itself are written and posted by alt-right types to communicate the fact they're racists without attracting the attention of people who wouldn't know what these words really reference this is just a way far rightwing people signal their beliefs to one another online."
It is impossible to find this meme template funny and useful it is with it's Universal appeal as you can just swap out the subject the person is talking about because one guy on 4chan started it with the word NIGGER.
"I'm Listening"
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about the phrase "I'm listening" and how it's become a contemporary reactionary meme and signal, particularly in online spaces. A lot of dog whistles used by right-wingers online are simply old memes and in jokes from image board websites like 4chan and 8chan. The reason for this is that these sorts of pseudo anonymous, edgy online forums have been favorite online spaces of the Internet savvy alt-right for as long as the alt-right has been a thing and therefore being able to readily quote and reference a bunch of old obscure image board jokes has essentially become a way to demonstrate your extensive familiarity with sites like 4chan and 8chan and so on and if you know the meme culture of these sorts of sites then 99 times out of 100 that can be taken as meaning that you're also familiar with and likely sympathetic to the far right-wing political worldview long nurtured there. It's not a big leap then that a lot of online reactionaries use knowledge of these old jokes and references as a way to signal their alt-right bona fides to one another anytime they're posting or commenting somewhere online where they can't be so open about their extreme and really nasty beliefs if you say something obviously bigoted on a big mainstream website like Twitter or Facebook or Reddit or YouTube, people will notice and you'll suffer the consequences but if you couch your bigotry behind coded jokes that only the other 8chan nerds will get you can find friends and spread your messaging without most normal people being any the wiser. *jump cut* To this end, one of the little coded in jokes image board reactionaries have long used to signal their beliefs to one another on other websites is the particular phrase "I'm listening". In online far rightwing circles to be "listening" is essentially to be in on or aware of and to believe in the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that lies at the heart of the reactionary world view. It's comparable to the phrase I'm noticing or someone describing themselves as red pilled on the JQ. This is all the sort of language alt-righters will use to hide what they're talking about if they're communicating or expressing their beliefs anywhere that might be seen by regular people and the reason they use the phrase "I'm listening" is because its meaning would absolutely fly over the heads of most normal people. Additionally the way a lot of alt-righters will invoke the "I'm listening" phrase is by posting images or gifs of Kelsey Grammar as the classic sitcom character Dr Frasier Crane.
The reason for this is because Frasier, Kelsey Grammar's character from the sitcom of the same name, was a psychiatrist with a radio show whose catchphrase was "I'm listening" and this has now been appropriated into this way people on the far right covertly signal their anti-Semitism. So for the sake of keeping yourself and your spaces safe please just keep it in mind it's always good to be able to recognize alt-right messaging and signaling like this so you can spot it, denounce it, explain why it's bad to others, and remove the people posting this sort of stuff. If you ever happen to see people online parting the phrase "I'm listening" or posting pictures or gifs of Kelsey Grammar, all apropos of nothing, at the very least now you know the reason why and it should register to you as a pretty big red flag."
Such hate from these bigots to steal from the ability to listen. Now I must simply believe. SAD.
New York City Tunnels
How is it racist?"Today specifically I wanted to talk about allusions to secret tunnels in New York City and how they've become something of a contemporary reactionary in joke and signal, particularly in online spaces. Simply put, among reactionaries, making a semi veiled reference to secret tunnels in or under New York City in particular has become a well-known way of alluding to an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that a system of maze like underground warrens is being built by New York's sizable Hasidic Jewish community and that the supposed existence of such tunnels would be, in some way, proof of a secret Jewish plot to traffic people around for some unclear nefarious ends, which is the most common motive often appended to this conspiracy theory by the insane reactionaries who parrot it. Of course, it's not true. There is no secret underground Jewish trafficking cabal and it's scarcely worth even discussing because at the end of the day it's basically just the same old anti-Semitic hogwash that neo-Nazis and their ilk have been parroting for decades. So if you were wondering why you might have seen people online mentioning underground New York tunnels, all apropos of nothing, at the very least now you know why. As with any dog whistle or obtuse reactionary internet term it does help to be able to spot these sorts of things so you can sus out any online situation properly and know whether or not someone might be trying to sneak an anti-Semitic remark past you and you can only figure out a situation like that properly if you know what these sorts of terms and bits of iconography mean and how to spot them."
The Jewish tunnels in New York are a hoax that have never been proven. These videos

someone baited him into this one. literally nothing i've searched for even gets remotely close to this. As an actual sardine enjoyer I've never seen any of this nonsense. the song is literally just a song. the 88 lyrics are them counting the measures/beat for the song. it's insane.
