    I’m still fucking bitter that the meme Elon latched onto was Doge. I fucking loved that meme and hate that it now has ties to fucking fascism.

      Par for the course. Nazis have done the same thing to everything from Pepe the frog to the swastika itself.

        Do I remember correctly that Pepe dies in the comic because the author didn’t want to keep producing material for them to hijack?

        Yeah, the point of dog whistles is to fly under the radar. Which means they steal popular symbols to use, so they can have the plausible deniability of “lol we were just posting memes about a comic frog” if anyone confronts them for their nazi shit.

      To me, it’s ok, because the people behind it pronounce it dōj and I always pronounced it doggy. So now we know the evil pronunciation is dōj.

      … You didn’t have a problem with it when it was a memecoin? Doge jumped the shark YEARS before that even happened

        But he knew what it was and it was fun. Now? It’s fascism tearing apart this country from the inside, run by two racist ass holes, one a rapist and sexual predator that acts like he’s 6

          Sadly wasn’t sure which one you were referring to with your last statement. I guess there aren’t public allegations of rape against Musk, just sexual harassment. Fuck this timeline.
