I’m getting annoyed at that shoplifting fandom because it’s distracting people from who we really should be stealing from, our employers.

[isaacsapphire]

Well, that IS where the big bucks are in stealing shit from retail.

But shoplifting fandom isn't​ about effective crime, it’s about performative class/femininity. Effective criming would be work and uncool.

All the kool kids nowadays are talking about negative interest rates.

[mitigatedchaos]

They’re not yet talking about forming quasi-autonomous state agencies that compete for assignment of implementing government programs, with contracts that can be renewed, but

Shhhh, they aren’t supposed to know about it yet.  I only know because I’m from the future.

“DEAF TO THE JEWS” the man shouted, holding the boombox aloft in the air, wearing an old Wehrmacht uniform.

Legions of uniformed dancers followed him through the street in formation.

Satisfied, he passed the boombox to an attendant, grasped a microphone, and began to rap.

It wasn’t the best timeline, it was true, but it certainly it wasn’t the worst, either.

Ministry Denies Existence of “Thinking Emoji Waifu”

The Memetics Unit of the Ministry of State Security’s Cyber-Warfare Division denied responsibility for rumors of “thinking emoji waifu” that began to circulate on Monday.  

“The weaponization of emoji in such a manner,” stated Public Representative Takayama, “is unthinkable.  It’s unthinkable.  It sounds like something [ISIS] would do.”  

Pressed on previous creation of Sheikh Shrek Rule 34 that was allegedly traced to the Ministry by foreign news organizations as part of what was believed to be an effort to undermine Saudi Arabia, Rep. Takayama continued to deny any claims of the Ministry’s involvement with emoji-based cyber-weapons.  “Look, I know all those foreigners think we’re going to cast some sort of emoji spell at them that will somehow hack their brains into voting for the next Brexit, but that is not what we do,” he said.  “The Memetics Unit is a defensive organization created to protect this country from political interference from non-state actors such as 4chan.”

The history of our nation’s involvement with formalized memetic warfare is believed to have started in 1986, with an internal START Corporation paper titled “Going Viral: Ideological Replication Vectors & Attack Surfaces” originally circulated among a handful of elite mathematicians…
