    1. Make dumb joke.
    2. Others join in.
    3. Some of them don’t know it’s a joke.
    4. More of them don’t know it’s a joke.
    5. Holy shit there are a lot of you.
    6. A new movement is born.

    Thanks, 4Chan. Turns out there ARE consequences to certain varieties of edgy humor when you don’t know how batshit insane the other people on your website are.

      “It’s just a joke bro stop calling this community bigoted” is basically the end goal of all right wing infiltration. They want to drive a wedge in a community and hiding behind humor that isn’t actually humor is incredibly powerful.

      If 90 people are joking about Hitler and 10 others are pretending to be joking, then you have Nazis in your ranks. The 90 joking are just convenient cover.
