New research on memes "fake and gay"; watch the MSM use fake science to attack free speech
After the recent upsurge in hit pieces against us and groups like ours (conservatives, Q patriots & any other non-Globalist-puppet-clones), I started looking at the fake research groups that provide pseudo-scientific "data" to justify saying these groups are racist, white supremicist, homophobic, haters or whatever other adjectives the other side can come up with.
While working on this ongoing digg
>>4303851 (You), >>4304069 (You) Fake research groups justify new MSM attacks on "conspiracy theorists"
I ran across this charming little abstract that really deserves its own post, because it reveals how fake politically-motivated researchers can twist science to "prove" that we're all a bunch of low-life losers.
I'll take a look at the actual article–which is sure to be full of fancy modeling, abstruse language, and scary-looking stats–but the bottom line is this:
all their conclusions about the "racist" attitudes of anons on the Chans are BULLSHIT.
Of course, you already knew that. But it's handy to know why from a scientific point of view. Here are some problems the authors won't tell you about in their research paper:
-
They have no way of knowing how to distinguish "real" community members ('anons') from shills who come here to post exactly the kind of content that "normal people " (i.e., intolerant, left-wing academics) find objectionable.'''
-
They are going to categorize memes based on their own value system, now ours. We know that lefties can't meme–or even understand the satirical impulse that gives rise to top-kek memes. So how are they supposed to properly analyze them? (Answer: they can't; they call our favorite Shilly meme that looks like Shylock "the happy merchant"–they at least got the "merchant" part right…But they think it's one of OURS, not a shill creation!)
-
They based their conclusions about our intentions without asking us about them–which they could easily do by interviewing some of us online. But then, why would they? That wouldn't serve their politicial goal of portraying us a "fringy racists."
-
Doesn't look like they bothered to check and see how many posts are associated with the same identifier. We all know that shills have a much higher mean posting rate than anons–also, that they post repetitively. Did they take that into account? Do they even know this happens?
-
Worse of all: If they want, they can even create exactly the data set they want by generating memes themselves! On anon boards, who's to stop them??
(And so on.)
I think these "researchers" already 'know" we're racists and are looking for ways to make their opinions look like facts. This is weaponized science, not real science.
SO FRENS, I would consider articles like these a warning shot over the bow. This article is from a primary source (although it may just be a conference paper). But it's still got enough oomph to add some scientific panache to articles from WaPo and other MSM channels. Expect to see more "scientifically-enhanced" articles in the coming months from WaPo, etc. All will show that memes are dangerous, are used to promote far-right political ideas, and must be "quarantined" to avoid contaminating the larger culture (Reddit, yes???).
This approach jibes perfectly with Q's warnings about patriots losing ground on social media (at least temporarily). This would be because it will take time for people to see thru game being played here. Not sure whether we can stop it, but figuring that Q has a plan. Still, it's good to see what's around the bend, to know what our adversaries are rolling out for the New Year.
