It's not real, it was a joke made by 4chan that stuck. Nobody is actually using that term unless they're a pedophile

Then you find out the real reason they need faster latency is because they're pinging the server for new data every 1ms

Yeah but Nazism spread via propaganda, which is what dogwhistling is a form of.

The Internet is the largest spreader of propaganda that humanity has ever seen, so it's not surprising that it helped revitalize neo-nazism and fascism is general. It also served to make satire and actual radicalized behavior harder to detect. A lot of the time, 4chan boards use this "edgy satire" format to normalize the behavior (to an extent). See: the "MAP" misinformation campaign they did and how it reinforced actual pedophilia and demonized LGBT groups

This is the real issue with troll communities (and subreddits). The_Donald started out as a troll community, and it was effectively overrun with nutjobs.

Yes, satirizing these people is hilarious, but they're often too stupid to differentiate between ironic support and endorsement and actual agreement. These are the same people who routinely fall for The Onion articles.

Don't be surprised at the level of stupidity people are willing to duck under to confirm their own beliefs. Lol

Republicans: block basically every attempt at social goods making their way into public hands

Centrists: "Bro why are democrats ass at governing"

She unironically needs to get help. I can't imagine what she's like IRL if she's this unhinged over something so small in the grand scheme of things.

Gets denied a loan: shits on the loan approvers desk Gets fired: merks her boss

Holy fucking shit that's insane. What's wild is, if I understand it correctly, that's basically linear with how many users have joined, meaning people are posting more than ever before (on a per user basis).
