I'm very much expecting Honkler to become amplified by the Joker movie. Six more months of Honkler bleeding into modern counterculture. The Joker literally matches the destructive absurdist philosophy of Honkler. If it wasn't an alt-right meme, I'd think it was the best viral marketing campaign ever created. And because it is going into election year, Honkler and Clowns might be a historic political movement.

Yep, and some of those skeptics are now running for the dog-and-pony show that is MEP.
You want to know why?
Only those who are a genuine threat are ever taken into power.
The only thing a government can't survive for long without is legitimacy.
The one thing 'skeptics' challenge is moral legitimacy.

"It took the rainbow flag --- which every young person will be familiar with --- and attached a race segregationist message to it." You see a race segregationist message to it but most people see a fucking disgusting symbol with a badly drew pepe clown. They see a fucking nonsense blended together. That meme is crap and you wouldn't need to post about it if it was not.

Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the Honkler is the only thing that makes sense.

So in other words: do marketing. Don't bother to understand its profound applicability, the resonance which made it a successful meme, or its positive effects on the despairing. Just, "do marketing for political success."
