What happened at Charlottesville was horrifying as nazi shit tends to be, but the nazis involved tripped up because they dropped the masks and put on the armbands a little too early, and public perception of them made them crawl under the rocks again for a little while, at least to the point of not shouting about who will replace them in tiki torch rallies quite the same way.
I remember how quickly "Frenworld" shit went from "it's a new meme, totally no contextual problems, see see?" :sus: to "oh, nazi babytalk" as a summarized description from random people observing it. I think it took a week.
I also remember when chuds try to appropriate the word "chud" and utterly fucking failed to make it about leftists. That took a weekend.
It is terrifying. i wonder what blind spots I have that are that profound but remain invisible to me.
