    Yeah IDK what the exact origins are but it's a common meme on the far right often also dubbed "autistic screeching"

    Edit: one of these days I'm going to have to make a really long effort post on the long history of fascism and its evolution in the US.

      I think it originated from a video of a frog screeching, but it sits in a niche between a harmless animal video and a vortex of ablist bullshit.

      Edit: context. The "reeeee" thing is older than this, but I'm pretty sure this is a re-upload of the original video. Naturally, the Pepe avitar kekistan freaks took this and ran with it.

        That's sort of their primary tactic. Corrupting otherwise innocent symbolism.

        Okay not gonna lie I laughed my face purple at the cute little gurgle he made when he gets dropped into the water and then he instantly chills out. I felt that mood, little frog guy, I felt it deep.
