Whoa. I had seen the term "meme magic" around and just assumed it was the alt-Nazi's way of bragging about how good at memes they are or something. I had no idea it was the apex of post-ironic nuttiness. How the actual fuck did we get here?

I appreciated this season of Mr Robot more than I enjoyed it, but I find it really surprising that it didn't make this list.
There's that South Park episode where they reclaim a certain anti-gay slur as a word for obnoxious bikers.
They're the victims of a decades-long project by the right-wing media to divorce all words from their meanings.
And a lot of people now use "deplorable" as a badge of honor. It's probably safe to assume they don't know what the word means.
A couple of months ago I dipped my toe back into the world of RPGs by joining a game of Call of Cthulhu at a local comic shop. It's been good fun and it makes me hate that I had so little exposure to pen and paper games back in what could've been my prime gaming days. I have been curious about playing online though.…
If I'm not mistaken, when you donate in honor of someone, they get sent a certificate telling them that.
Shit, guess I'm out. Then again, Keith Morris rocks the fuck out of balding dreadlocks.
Sorry douchenozzle, you can take that bubble nonsense and shove it. I grew up in the rural deep south. I've spent most of my life getting along fine with people I disagree with. In a few weeks I'm going to spend a perfect pleasant holiday with people I disagree with politically.
Wow. I never thought I'd see the day when someone would be arguing in favor of conversion therapy on the AV Club. Double sigh.
More like hot white shit, amirite?
I don't think the issue was her not being centrist enough - it's 20 years of a whole segment of the media making her out to be history's greatest monster. FOX News and right wing talk radio were basically built on hate for Hillary. Not that she doesn't have her issues, but every time she's run I've wondered if she…
Nah, she had even less chance then than she did this year or in 2008. She voted for the Iraq War and that year the Democrats HAD to run an anti-war candidate.
Sorry, but thay argument just doesn't scan. Of course all Muslims as a monolithic group is a very different thing from treating Trump voters as a monolith. More accurate would be, say, all Muslims who support ISIS. Maybe they have very different reasons for doing that, maybe they even have some pragmatic reason for…
Well, no, not directly. My point is that cutesy-poo nonsense like this allows people to feel like they're waging some kind of protest, when they're really doing nothing of any consequence. If seeing a picture of Trump really affects you enough to want to replace it with a cheeseburger, you should be engaging with and…
Isn't this more of the dumb, smug, ineffectual shit that distracted people enough to let that asshole get elected? Stop doing cutesy bullshit like this and go do something real.
Since this came out I've been daydreaming about a supergroup of the remaining members of Tribe, Andre and Busta Rhymes. That's the most unexpected surprise of this album - not just a revitalized Tribe, but Busta reminding me how goddamn great he is.
A whole lot of this "out-of-touch urban elite" theory the media has latched on to overlooks the fact that a lot of us are the smart kids from rural areas and red states who worked hard, went to college and got the hell out of the cultural sinkholes that caused us so much misery in our childhoods. Not looking forward…
Coach Pop and the Spurs are hands down one of the best things we've got in San Antonio. They're just a hell of a classy organization.
Man, I'm getting tired of being told I live in some elitist bubble because I'm not empathetic enough to people who have never ventured out of their hometown and still hang out with the same people they did in high school. If I am in a bubble, my bubble is a hell of a lot bigger than theirs and they sure the fuck…
