They are helping us.
fighting /pol is like fighting a pillow:
you’d punch and punch and punch and you just get tired, the pillow doesn’t notice anything.
when they decry use of a cute frog the ones who look stupid are THEM.
When once somebody holds up an okay sign and is attacked, the ATTACKER looks stupid.
this is good news.
I hope they do they continue this.
When she did he laughed it all as it was no big deal. Which made me think he was a normal people.
He should also go after the Anti-Defamation League and whom ever else makes this claim.
Probably not as Furie’s claims are under copyright law.
Not a lawyer but.
The lack of trademark may make it hard to go after people that use images based on the Pepe character but not a copy of Furie’s original drawings. I am not sure how broad his copyright claim could extend to such images. The ever popular ‘Smug Pepe’ was not drawn or created by Furie and is quite unlike the original.
Probably 90 percent or more of the Pepe images are quite different than the Pepe from Furie’s Boys Club (and who knows what happens with the Pepeized images of figures like Trump). I think some of the people been sued are for images that are copies of the character as drawn by Furie. The images in the book Furie claimed against were not drawn by Furie but the writer requested the illustrator make them look like Pepe.
I will not post a Pepe (or Pepe like) image so as not to embroil FreeRepublic in another copyright fight.
More likely (if funded by outside parties) the ADL whom Furie teamed up with to ‘take back Pepe.’
Color the frog yellow, rename him “PeePee,” and PHOTO Shop all the past memes to that color. Problem solved.
Used to be called the bogeyman.
Very Good!
When the /pol/ guys found Shia Lebouf’s protest flag in the middle of nowhere with only picture of it against the sky by examining the patterns of jet contrails and the stars at night, I knew that these were some weapons grade intel savants.
The reason is obvious if you look at it.
It’s basically porn.
Uh-oh. Now Free Republic is about to get served by a (likely pro bono) lawyer seeking free publicity and alt-left adulation for a spurious cause.
I know, right?
Scary stuff :)
It's the left. (in disguise)
I travel in alt-right circles online, and they have been around for a while. There is a large swath of younger guys who are naturally maturing into conservatives, but they have been indoctrinated to see conservatives as old, stuffy, corruptocrats. They mainly hate liberals.
They look at the Republican leadership, and it only reinforces the stereotype. If they have a fault, it is that the think the real, grassroots conservatives are somehow wedded to the Republican party, and support the establishment.
So they know they are right, in some form, but they don’t see themselves as regular right, so they are fishing for a label that distinguishes them from the “old right: like Boehner, Ryan, McCain, etc.
They support Trump unhesitatingly because they see him as their leader, mainly because he is right, but anti-establishment as well.
They will eventually mature into full on tradcons, and be like Free Republic, but with a youthful, edgy side, and a real technological/psychological persuasion side to them.
IMO, this is a little off, and I say this only based on my own reaction to Trump, even though I'm a lot older.
Trump was unexpected, a bolt from the blue, and he connected instantly with a lot of people, including me. But I don't equate this to, "I see him as my leader." ... just "I'm voting for this guy!"
... and it wasn't because of what he IS, politically, as though he fulfilled some role, but what he said, or what he was willing to say, or what he DARED to say, and dared to presume. He was electrifying. That's how I felt.
Kind of like neocon in the 2000s.
