"Meme magic" is post-modernist horse shit about shitposting having a supernatural effect on the real world. Slogans and such like you posted are ideas propagating through society and driving people to do things.

One is magical thinking, the other is CULTURE.

>>47354028
Basically this.

Meme "magic" is ascribed after the fact, when all it is is people with early awareness of things (in other words, /pol/, but also people plugged into the happenings of other spheres of life) recognising trends and propagating ironic awareness of the trends' likely next step thanks to the new medium of information exchange that is the internet.

Simply put, people have been following current events for so long and have a record of events so that their recollection can't be shoved down the memory hole, or at least easy contact with people who will agree with their recollection of events.

On the other hand, of course, the "meme magic" of the mirror image of /pol/ is probably also a thing that is amplifying the message of the extreme left, and since the left have had an official or near-official monopoly on cultural institutions, "meme magic" might just be the radicalisation of the left going fast enough to be seen in real time.

TLDR: People plugged into mass society will be swept along by mass society. All that's happening is that people can communicate enough about the flow of mass society to be able to anticipate the more obvious trends.
It's not things coming true because of being thought, it's people anticipating things and "the uncontested absurdities of today becoming the accepted slogans of tomorrow", as is attributed to Ayn Rand.

Hell, even the semi-ironic (and Common Filth's variant of Rand's aphorism, that "today's irony is tommorow's sincerity" is apt here) "worship" of the cult of Kek has its origins explained in a roundabout way by this phenomenon.
4chan was always written off as weirdos worshipping Ron Paul and "that creepy green frog", and now the frog is literally being "ironically" given worship and Donald Trump is now "ironically" heralded as the "god emperor".

And again, I give very few shits about whatever personal meaning you prescribe to "meme magic".

THE LANGUAGE ITSELF IS A GODDAMN MEME.

The memes are used to communicate ideas to its intended recipients without loss of its original meaning.
Your memes can be more or less complex, but you can't not use them at all, if you want communication to exist at all.
So don't underestimate potent memes that can infect people with dangerous ideas.

>>47354642 (Continued)

The obsession weird, lonely people have with the anonymous subculture of /pol/ is symbolised with the green frog, and the primitive desire for a physical, political "messiah" that's found its most recent incarnation in Donald Trump are now both expressed in an elevated way in "ironic" but literal worship. /pol/ already worshipped whatever right-wing celebrity of the day was rustling leftist jimmies, and they, along with the worst types of socially dysfunctional internet people, were spiritually bound to the identity symbolised by Pepe the frog, so all "meme magic" is is an escalation of underlying trends through the magnifying lens of self-awareness dismissed as "irony" to preserve that cultural status quo.

The same messianism and "meme magic" is also applied to Nazis because of their cultish state propaganda and the pagan cult of "neo-Nazis" that grew out of foreign fans of the SS' anti-Christian religious clique. WW2's an event that exists at the twilight of the pre-mass culture society, where an official coverup by the Soviet "big brother" could be possible, but is unknowable, so Nazism serves as the "mystery of the faith" of neo-Nazi edgelords. The material relevance or historicity of the Nazi mythos (on both the left and right) have very little relevance besides as a tool of "meme magic". It's more difficult and frustrating to explain this to "stormfag" /pol/tards than it is to get normies to think critically about WW2 and other ebul raycis things like that, because normies just haven't thought about things, whereas people who are religiously into certain social beliefs have failed at thinking, and fallen into dogmatism.
That's not to say that /pol/ is all shit (it mostly is), or that Germany was the boogeyman in WW2 the USSR and their enablers presented them as, or that race doesn't exist and there isn't a generalised anti-white, anti-standards culture or "conspiracy", it's just a reflection on the nature of the "true believer".

You're all idiots. Meme magick refers to two entirely different phenomena, at the same time.

The first is purely mundane in nature. It is the idea of creating memes so powerful on the internet that they cross the veil into meatspace. A meme that becomes so powerful it stops being limited to the online realm and manifests in reality. Things like getting cuckservative said on national TV, or literally anything about Donald Trump is meme magick of this variety. It is called magick because it resembles ceremonial magic. You perform a ritual [creating a meme] in secret, which goes on to effect the world in macrocosm.

The second idea is partially magical in nature. This form of meme magick is the ascribing of a supernatural force to the above phenomena. The [unfounded] theory that mass belief can cause certain events to happen.

These two definitions and concept blur, and rightly so, because sufficient belief of the second order can cause meme magick of the first order. People become so convinced that their rituals [memes] are working, that it creates a placebo effect that results in regular meme magick.

The Ars Memetica is a powerful occult Science, and we would be unwise to ignore it simply because it covers itself in superstitious imagery. When a man can manipulate memetics and shitpost his way to the presidency, I think that proves the sheer power of the Art.

What about Ebola-chan and her cult?

>>47362816
>Jap who bought 4chan word-filtering "cuck" as "kek" for months on end.
kek has been used way before moot sold us out to the gook.
I think the trasition was "lol" to "lel" to "kek".
And eight chan also uses kek, so it makes no sense for it to be so new and they also use it, so it started clearly before so much of the /v/ and /pol/ crowd migrated.

>>47368410
"Ebola-chan" came into being after the new outbreak, ya git.
And ebola never spreads far since it's such a high profile high lethality disease. People learn to stay away from the man who's shitting himself and bleeding from every hole. The outbreaks are always sudden and severe, and end just as quickly.

I guess it works kind of like an Ork WAAAGH. It's a psychic field that influences reality, but only those below a certain level of intelligence produce this psychic field.

>>47354823
Stay off the Pez.

>>47368410
That was psychology too.

The tie between the recent Ebola outbreak and Ebola-chan came from a photo of several people dressed up as World Health Organization doctors praying to an Ebola-chan shrine being posted to a Nigerian forum and spreading from there to other popular African websites. The locals became convinced that the doctors who had come to help them had been infiltrated by cultists and that they intentionally spread the disease and killed people who sought treatment. The disease only killed blacks because the whites who got Ebola sought medical attention, while the locals avoided treatment and even killed some health workers.

And the outbreak ended after the meme died out because fear of the cult dissipated and the nigs started cooperating with treatment.

To be fair, it was a very convincing operation on /pol/'s part. They even used a background that looked like the kind of tarps that the WHO used in their mobile treatment center camps.

For an uneducated population that genuinely believes in magic due to their local religious traditions and already has a deep distrust of whites, it didn't take much to get people to believe in the presence of a death cult.

No, it originates from World of Warcraft
The two factions can't actually talk to eachother, so when as an Alliance guy you saw a Horde guy talk, they'd see some gibberish. "lol" would be translated to "kek" in orcish.

That's where it comes from. I'm pretty sure 'lel' is some kind of hybrid of it.

>>47369726
You're wrong. You are correct about how WoW filters chat, but kek as the internet uses it (such as "top kek") only gained popularity with the creation of [s4s] and the corruption of lel.
Also, it wouldn't even "originate" where you are saying; Blizzard put that particular directional filter because people still typed shit like "lololol" back then, which would filter to "kekeke", which is the korean typing for laughter. Which became a meme in blizzard games for "zerg rush kekeke".

However, this still is irrelevant to the rise in popularity of the usage of kek.

>>47369726
Lel comes from /sp/. It has no relation with kek or le, it's simply the only one that stuck of a whole "family" that had, among others, lyl and Uncle l0ll.

>Lel comes from /sp/. It has no relation with kek
kek itself is a derivation of it.
Due to the popularity of "top lel" (itself a mutation on the top gun hat), this image of some obscure packaged confectionery resulted in "top kek" becoming a new meme.

>>47369826
topkek came from some turkish brand

s4s was created only a few years back, kek existed here long before that

>>47369929
Perhaps kek "existed" but you can find no evidence of it being used with any particular coherence or in large degree.
In archived times before circa 2013, kek was used sparingly and often without any associated memetic qualities.

>>47369926
You can't call kek a variation of lel when it's a decade older, if not more. What lel may have done was the rediscovery of the kek

>>47369826
>there are people who actually believe "kek" originates from WoW
"kek" originates from the original Starcraft multiplayer, where Koreans used it as "lol", or to be more precise "lolololo" -> "kekekeke", kinda like Japanese do their own "wwwww" schtick.
The Orcish chatfilter is the direct reference to the Starcraft meme on behalf of Blizzard, seeing as the Korean multiplayer scene is basically what kept Starcraft alive and well for a long time.

>>47370152
"kekekeke" isn't exactly the same as "kek", tho

It's not mainstream either, so for the number of people the memes he is talking about are currently affecting the place they fermented and evolved is quite small and obscure in population size.

Give it a few years and I bet you can major in Cultural Memetics.

Some guy from /fit/ did his masters thesis on /fit/ board culture and memes.

Memes' study was a thing back when MGS2 came out, and memetic theory was a thing, I dunno, since the 90s or something?

I remember talking with my friend back in 2004 (?), who was a college professor at the time, and how he gushed that he finally has pop-culture material to show students that is basically Memetics 101.

No no no, you are both right and wrong at the same time.
Yes, so called "meme-magic" is anything but magic, but it is certainly not human bias.
It is the controlled use of popular culture for the furthering of a certian goal. In simpler terms, a very special and subversive type of PR campaign, one where the target is both the person being advertised to and the one who spreads the advertisement, whether they agree with it or not.
Essentialy, you take something that people will find entertaining, is appealing to the eye and mind (be that because it's cute, funny, shocking, catchy, etc) add to it something that spreads your message, and release it to the public. They then spread it, and it slowly changes the culture, as people here it over and over again and eventually begin to accept or agree with it.
It's nothing new, nothing really special, and nothing even close to "magic". Anyone who claims such is just a puppet, the target of these campaigns. And yes I am implying that /pol/ is being played by trumps PR people. What even better, they've been tricked into thinking they have power, making them even less likely to question anything. Heck, they'll most likely become defensive now that I've said this, because they've been played that much.
It's really quite a remarkable case, a masterful use of subversion, hidden agendas, PR and good old playing useful idiots like a goddamn fiddle.

I dunno, we act like a lot of things are a constant, ever present threat to our community culture, but a board that constantly attempts to subsume other boards with pushing a literally fascist ideology by exploiting a mutual dislike of ours (tumblr/feminism) and trying to escalate and derail threads with racial bullshit? That sounds relatively disconcerting to me.

I'm an oldfag, I remember when /pol/ was a melting pot of flatearthers, neo-soviets, anarchists, skinheads, hyper-libertarians, theocrats, and all sorts of varied, angry, but ultimately tolerable crazies.

This ain't that /pol/.

4chan dislikes being told what to do, or being bullied by a bunch of fringe politicals that desire a hugbox where they can circlejerk frustrated extremist solutions to social issues they barely care about. Sound familiar? It could be tumblr or /pol/ and I hear a lot more /pol/posting.

>>47375561
>they've been "played"
You understand that the people spreading trump memes usually have a vested interest in him being elected right?

If you want to see what it looks like when one board runs a chan, go check out infinitychan.

>>47376042
No, they think they do, but this comes from a false belief that Trump will actually work for them.
They forget the oldest and truest maxim about people who want power: they only seek it for themselves, and as such should be the last person to be given it.

>>47376226
So sad.
4chan /pol/ was far better back in its libertarian era. However, that has seen a resurgence there. I wouldn't be suprised if it reverts to that after this election

>>47376276
No, the stormfront bullshit is just getting worse.

I don't want to enslave women, kill niggers, or eradicate jews. I just want to laugh at them a little.

It's the anti-centralistic push that's resulted from the SJWs making a nuisance of themselves, which let stormfront take root as a "savior".

And on a more diluted scale it's happening IRL.

>>47375956
>I remember when /pol/ was a melting pot of flatearthers, neo-soviets, anarchists, skinheads, hyper-libertarians, theocrats, and all sorts of varied, angry, but ultimately tolerable crazies.

All of those except neo-soviets are still a common sight on modern /pol/. /pol/ people are all relatively right wing and generally racist but other than that there is no common thread. You have Stephan Molyneux ancap cultists, Neo-Nazis, Deus Vult fantasizers. Going there right now the top threads I see are "Why are you supporting trump, McAfee 2016, Libertarian is the only good party" "ISLAM IS GOOD, IT WILL PURGE DEGENERACY" "Why do you fags care about bathrooms". "Libertarians are fucking retards".

/pol/ is hardly a monolith, the only thing it posses in common is a shared memetic library.

>>47376243
>All candidates are human beings who care about themselves so you don't have a vested interest in the candidate who's policies will most benefit you being elected.

/pol/ isn't dangerous on /pol/. On /pol/ itself I don't actually really care, they get an entire board to themselves.

It's dangerous outside of /pol/.

>>47376319
I'm a little bit salty on the subject, having finally given up on 4×2chan.

That is something that cannot happen here.

>>47376383
Firstly, your implying the presidents policies really matter outside of foriegn policy. Elections for the senate and House of Representatives matter far more to the average joes life then the president does.
Secondly, that wasn't at all my point. My point is trump isn't in it for ideas, he's in it for the power, just like Shillary. And that's bad

>>47376414
It only happened on memechan because it had both a microscopic population and incredible selection bias for who actually showed up.

>>47376479
Still that's the outcome of too much fringecuck dominance of board culture

>>47376466
>Firstly, your implying the presidents policies really matter outside of foriegn policy
Firstly that's not true, second of all a healthy portion of Trump's talking points people are drawn to are about foreign policy in case you haven't noticed.
>Secondly, that wasn't at all my point. My point is trump isn't in it for ideas, he's in it for the power, just like Shillary. And that's bad
So it was exactly your point.
You're saying that because Trump is ultimately self interested the policy he would enact would not be different from Hillary's or that it's effect would be inconsequential and that it couldn't possibly be better for his supporters than the alternative.

Remember that the Cruz campaign hired a firm called "Applied Memetics" run by a shady ex-CIA operative to disseminate propaganda.

Of course, it wasn't enough to save old Ratto. Can't beat the Emperor when it comes to memes.

>>47376743
Hillary has hired a similar company "correct the record" or something.

The thing is effective memes are organic. Artificial memeing has never been half as effective as all natural memes.

>>47375956
>have been caught seeding /pol/ threads throughout /tg/ over the last few weeks

In what way have they been "caught"?
Was it just some guy with views you didn't like, and you called him /pol/scum? That is how you "exposed" them? You act like this is some kind of grand conspiracy while in truth it's just people with opinions you don't like that aren't actively trying to do shit. Every time people post a picture of Trump without an mspaint hitler-stache people like you lose their shit and cry /pol/.

>>47365275
with no survivors.

>>47376835
The fact is that there is posted evidence in this thread of it

/pol/ has been compromised by another website and people are trying to spread it.

It's never been about the stupid trump pepes or whatever. The memes are what they are. It's about the bait threads. It's about the derailing.

>>47368249
is he strangling himself?

>>47376902
In case you haven't noticed over the last couple years, the world in general is rapidly becoming more /pol/. Racial/religious/class conflict, terrorism, nationalism, and distrust in democratic institutions are on the rise everywhere.

Not everyone who expresses viewpoints that align with those of /pol/ is necessarily a neo-Nazi memetic operative. People who've had no contact with these groups are spontaneously turning to the reactionary right just from watching the news and living in the world as it is today.

>>47376921
Jerkin' it like Carradine.

>>47377037

This is accurate. Depressing, but accurate.

I guess all we can do is just stay sane. Make our own conclusions.

>>47377037
On 4chan, it's significantly easier to narrow it down. These guys are the "army of angry neckbeards" stormfront spoke of.

Here on 4chan, it's easier to assume that white supremacists browse /pol/ and as such are being played by the NIDF.
