Dutch, He/Him. Nickname predates the 2 culture wars which people could read into it (by decades), I just refuse to change it because they are the ones who suck. I can be a bit verbose.

When I heard a line like this repeated like a mantra over and over again I generated a meme about it.

Image description

3 screenshots from a The Simpsons episode. Bart is sitting in his class and the whole class in the first panel says “Say the line” with eyes filled with expectation and glee, next panel a sad downlooking Bart says “AI is the future and we all need to get on board”, third panel everybody but Bart cheers.

The guy from the history channels 'ancient aliens' show who famously said a lot of things were aliens (they were not), about to say 'Aliens'

He also looks a bit like Londo Mollari from babylon 5.

Congratulations Americans, the new peoples house is now the Dilbert house.

A strange looking house (I don't have the proper words to explain it fully, but think light brown/yellow stonework that is made to look like random stones but clearly is just something tacked on and pink wall of a sort of mexican claywork style), strangest is a sort of tower on the left, made out of the same light brown/yellow stonework effect which is clearly added after the fact, it has tower like merlons in the shape of dilbers hair. With two very big round dilbert eye shaped windows.

It all combines a bit to give a sort of cheap theme park style.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers.

Mortal Coil: Adrenalin Intelligence (1995)

The box art of a video game. Big text box shows the title 'mortal coil'. The rest of the image is some sort of alien and a squad of four ugly 1995 3d art people/soldiers in green skintight outfits that prob were intended to look badass and military (it looks mostly ass) in the background. In the foreground there is another one of those soldiers in green skintight pants, but with a green weird looking bodyarmor on top of it, she is also wearing some huge headset over half her face and shooting what looks to be a uzi like weapon. The art is not great. The body proportions are strange, the arms are weirdly skinny, the lighting is off. All and all not a great box art.

I saved this image a long time ago when the kekistan people were using this flag and a lot of people were saying there was no connection to the far right.

A patch on a piece of clothing in the form of a flag. The flag has a sideways black cross on it with white bands on the outsides, the other parts of the flag are green. There is a circle with an neo-nazi odal rune in the middle of the cross (and some other things around it). On the top left there is an iron cross with what might be an single SS lightingbolt in it, but could be something else. On the top right it says something like 'Global Cru<unreadable> order of the ku klux klan'.

It looks like a specific type of nazi flag but instead of it being red it is green, and the swastika was replaced with the Odal rune.

The Nazi Hans Landa (played by Christoph Waltz in the movie Inglourious Basterds) in fully nazi uniform shouting in shock 'Oh so everyone you don't like is automatically a "nazi"'.

In this scene in the movie he is about to have a swastika carved into his forehead so he can never hide that part of his identity by taking of the uniform.

Reminds me of the gamergate image which was commissioned/created by a white supremacist.

A cartoon of a mount Rushmore like carving with five oddly smug looking faces of them, one of them a bad drawing of the "Mask of Sargon" (now thought to be mask of the grandson of Sargon of Akkad), a guy wearing an old time wig, and a skull with a crown. One of them is supposed to look like Adam Baldwin, but doesn't.

Below it is a kid talking to his dad. "Who are those guys dad?" "thats Sargon, Milo and Adam, the internet aristocrat, and Ralph, honey. Five great men who helped save western civilization!"

Don't worry if you have never heard of most of them, not many people have, the most famous one, Adam Baldwin actually had little to do with all of this.

This reminds me of Kingdom Come Deliverance, where a priest says this about Jan Hus

Screenshot from the game Kingdom Come Deliverance, a priest is sitting next to a woman and says 'Nonsense. They can't burn a master of the most respected university in Europe'.

They could, and did. Rip Jan Hus.

Like I put in a few keywords which are relevant, and it just makes up entirely wrong sentences and searches for that.

For random example a results for: how to use keyword search duckduckgo.

See the bolded "'enter or I or o - go to the highlight result'" part. Not what I searched for at all.

Search result from google.

Title of the linked page "How to use keyboard shortcuts on duckduckgo search"
highlighted bit from the page: "Enter or I or o - go to the highlighted result, or use it right away to go to the first result" and more.

The 'enter or I or o - go to the highlight result' part is bolded showing it is what I searched for.

This thing, also simply not true.

Looked for 'Help with mortgage' limited to the USA. Worldwide has same effect.

A graph, starting at nothing, slowly increasing at 2007. peaking (100%) at june 2009, then having a steady number (25%) with one smaller peak (75)% at march 2020.

The graph starts at 1 jan 2004, ends sept 2025, and it goes up from zero to 100. I assumed that was percentage of searches.

Btw, I have an update on this. Wonder if this is too much of a stretch for people.

The domino meme, a guy is putting down a tiny domino which is knocking down bigger and bigger dominos. Usually used to show some strange butterfly effect.

Big domino text: "Kirk gets assassinated by the far right", small domino: "Endemol founded (1994)"

This is a reference to Endemol creating the reality tv genre, which lead to things like The Apprentice, and the popularity of Trump, but also the debate random people in the street or other places stuff, a thing Kirk was also big in.

The scary clown from the first IT movie, inside a storm drain looking up to a kid in a raincoat. The clown is saying 'debate me' over and over and over.

The electricity knocked me out of the sky and stunned me, which dunked me into the acid, but only a little bit so I didn't take instakill damage, but then the guy jumped in as well electrifying the acid keeping me stunned.

Hmm that thing you are saying looks familiar as a tactic.

But yes don't blame the left for warning you about the guy, the people he attracts, or the left not getting on board with him.

(Sorry no alt text, im not typing all that up)
