Board 8 > Nationalist politics topic 11: NPC meme is the gift that keeps on giving

(+) Yeah! (+)

Already making it offline!



Hilarious.

Here are a few, hot off the presses!






And the classix from the last topic:

lol this is a bizarre meme

why does the John Oliver thing have the Jeb Bush "please clap"?

---

Why exactly does this meme apply to liberals and not, say, the kind of person who blindly accepts every Trump tweet as fact? You know, the kind of person who might parrot a conspiracy that Google is censoring Trumps SotU addresses despite visible proof to the contrary.
---

Do you see every major media parroting the things Trump usually tweets about as truth? Nope. The meme is about blind believers in mainstream, i.e. globalist media.
---

Yes, I understood that. But why? Why exactly are blind believers in mainstream media any different than blind believers in alternative media and Trumps tweets?
---

I've seen some iterations of the meme targetting also Trump supporters here and there. Blind belief in anything is a mistake. But especially in the things corporations push onto people. If you follow more than one "alternative media," it is very unlikely you believe blindly in anything. They're all over the place.

NPC meme would be funnier if the NPCs were made of straw for the double pun.

But if mainstream media pushes one narrative, wouldnt alternative media, by its very nature, have to push an opposing narrative? And then it wouldnt matter how many alternative media outlets you subscribe to, because theyre providing the same information to indoctrinate you. Its no different from the mainstream in that sense. In fact, complete distrust for the MSM is no different than complete faith in them. Youre a blind sheep all the same.

Does NPC stand for "non-player character" or something else?

Is it a Fortnite thing? Does Fortnite even have NPCs?

Here's one:

It's generally opposing, as in "globalism is bad," but they're not coordinated, so that's about where their agreement ends. For example, Breitbart and RT - the former want a strong US under Trump, the latter want a weak US, and thus wouldn't agree with Breitbart on that.

In short, I and people like me form our opinions using many actually different sources. Those opposing us use, in essence, the same source.
---

Youre ascribing traits to those two news sources to make yourself seem like a more reasonable and open-minded person than those you claim are NPCs. Breitbart and RT push the same exact narratives, regardless of how much each source allegedly wants the U.S. to succeed. In fact, you have a history of posting and agreeing with easily-disproven lies because your diverse sources all guide you to the same conclusion.

You claim to be anti-globalist, even posting the occasional anti-capitalist meme or topic. But how exactly does nationalism combat corporatists? Because the reality is that global corporations are exceptionally powerful right now. They have the money and resources to move operations anywhere in the world, so long as it increases their bottom line. If anything, nationalism makes corporations more powerful, because rather than having unity on a global stage and working to create conditions where the corporations need to abide by rules that benefit the people, you have countries isolating themselves and racing to the bottom, to see who is capable of deregulating industry enough to get corporations to pump tax dollars into their economy. You see this with America, for example. The conservatives (running on a nationalist platform) promise tax breaks and deregulation to boost corporate profits, even as these things hurt the country as a whole.

MEANWHILE, corporate globalists use the fear of cultural globalism to keep people like you in line. If you create an enemy, then people will be so concerned with ensuring that enemys defeat that they wont care about the rest of the platform, even as it devastates their livelihood. Sure, more and more power is amassed by the super rich, but at least gays arent treated like human beings.

lmfao, you took the effort to write all that as if you actually believe it. Even a 9-year-old would understand that uniting the world under one government would mean much less regulations to bother global corporations. Which is why they hate nationalism, which is governments protecting their people from global corporations and encouraging business within the nation. (Among a million other reasons.)

But governments DONT protect their people from global corporations, and I guess I dont understand why you think they do. As it stands, whether you like it or not, the internet and high-speed methods of travel make international corporations inevitable. And the wealthiest corporations use nationalism as a means of sparking competition between nations in order to get themselves the best possible deal. And no matter how lopsided that deal is, countries still compete for it because even a modicum of wealth funneled into their country is better than that same modicum funneled into someone ELSES country.

And you know what? Ill throw you a bone. Its entirely possible that, if the entire world united under one government, then it would be easy for corporations to buy off a singular group of leaders for their benefit. However, it could also work the other way: if the government bands together, the corporations cant threaten them they way they can now. Either give us a massive tax break or well move our company someplace cheaper, losing you jobs and driving the cost of our goods up! Whether nations or even U.S. states, corporations have us by the balls.

Yes, many are bought and paid for by corporations, but some still do. Do you want to know which ones? Look for the leaders most criticised by globalist media. :)

The good thing is that their numbers are slowly, but steadily rising.

Also, NPC meme goes really well with Yuri:

Democrats are apparently scared shitless about the midterms... The latest fabrication with "bombs being sent to soros, clinton, obama, cnn" is more transparent than one could imagine.

Ben with a cool cartoon about those "bombs."

The envelope bombs sent to select Democrats are an obvious false flag.

Aside from their propaganda megaphone, CNN, everyone who received a package deserves prison time. Brennan, Hillary, Obama, Holder, etc, all are searching for sympathy because they know they are guilty of high treason.

The Deep State is pulling out all stops to gain sympathy and votes for their team. This is a pathetic means of doing it. The envelopes didnt seem to have postmarks. If they were hand-delivered, then there should be video of the perpetrators. Especially on Hillarys property. She has more video surveillance than a drug lord.

The bombs came with digital clocks serving as timed detonation devices that make no sense. The clocks had no countdown function and were added as bomb props.

The Soros-funded invasion is designed to garner sympathy and anti-Trump sentiment. Its having the opposite effect. So now they pull the false flag package bombs. That wont work either. Whats next, sending a smallpox blanket to Elizabeth Warren?

The Democrats are desperate. Theyve lost the debate and the control theyve enjoyed for far too long. They are the violent ones. They are calling for an end to civility. Desperadoes take bigger chances.

I wouldnt be surprised if we see another fake news event ahead of the election. Will they take to the next level and actually kill some innocent to achieve power? I hope not.

I've always wondered if there's any conservative humour that isn't super cringey and awful.

This topic has made me think that the answer is probably no.
---

That makes two who recognised themselves in those NPCs.
---

I'd still like to know where the term NPC came from
---

Most likely from NPCs in RPGs - you know, the people who repeat the same lines when you talk to them multiple times.
---

I am surprised this meme hasn't been regurgitated through my spheres yet. The only time I've seen it used is in the context of the NPC saying "Weed even cures cancer" and then getting mad when asked how.
---

You can be proud of not using twitter then.

yeah, but why did it just sprout up within the last couple of months? RPGs have been around for decades

Somebody or something must have started the meme.

Because a certain group of people have been repeating it over and over as part of their script

Hey vlad, since you consider me an NPC, heres a quest

So how much do you think the deep state paid Cesar Sayoc to register as a Republican in 2016, drive a Trump van around for two years, and take the fall for their false flag operation?

In this economy he prob would've done it for $50k easy

Because we didn't find them amusing? That has more to do with the fact that they're all painfully unfunny.

I'm fine with humour that goes against my political leanings. Lewis Black did some fantastic stuff roasting the Democrats back in the 90s (still occasionally does, but much less so these days, because in his own words "The Democrats are dumb, but the Republicans are stupid. Dumb isn't funny; stupid is fucking funny."), and it was fucking hilarious. Of course, Black is the farthest thing from a conservative himself and I have yet to see an actual bonafide conservative telling political jokes that don't come across as the writings of an alien from Neptune who was explained the concept of human humour and is doing his best to imitate it without actually understanding some of its most basic concepts.

I thought the point of the NPC meme was an attempt by nationalists to dehumanize their opposition. By calling the opposition NPCs, theyre saying theyre not real persons with agency who have drawn their own conclusions.

Its like an evolution of there are no girls on the Internet.
---

There's a million ways online nationalists dehumanize everyone. This meme is not about that at all, that's way too simplistic. The key here is they dehumanize everyone.

It goes all the way back to the GG and alpha/beta stuff. What was the #1 complaint about the usual suspects during the peaks of those movements, and how does that relate to this meme? That's really what it's about.

That is what all their rhetoric has been about after it was codified into "anti-SJW". It's pure defense and attempts at recovery. They obliterated all sense of individuality and purpose for everyone, especially themselves, and they are just trying to scrape back any bit of their own humanity they can, using all the divisionary no-u tactics they can find.

After all, if you're talking to NPCs, then you can't possibly be an NPC yourself....... right??

Is this not true? If you just parrot what you hear on television, it's very hard to believe you arrived at those conclusions yourself. Most likely you are told what to think.

why do you people always assume this is how everybody on the left gets their news and viewpoints? Try projecting less.

I mean, honestly. The #1 political channel in America has been Fox for over a decade now. Parroting what you hear on TV applies to conservatives far more than liberals given the evidence.

Fox is only number one because there are a bunch of commie channels on the other side of the fence. If they all united, they'd dwarf Fox. Fox are also globalist puppets, btw. They only keep the likes of Tucker around so they don't lose their audience. Business is business.
