    Pepe is a commonly used far right dog whistle. Attacking this rule by associating it with zionist far right seems malicious. You sure you’re on the right side of this mate?

      Pepe was designated by the zionist ADL as a hate speech symbol. Thats literally all the reason why some people see it as a “far right dog whistle” because it was dragged through the mud by the media. Dont be fooled so easily. Dont let them take your memes.

        ADL thrives in a politically polarised landscape where their interests intersect traditional conservatism/liberalism axis. If Pepe is divisive because of an international conspiracy then that’s a done deal already anyway - in this polarised society fascists took it as their heraldic emblem just to spite the libs. If someone decides to self-label with Pepe in today’s world then feigning ignorance isn’t a very convincing excuse to me anymore.
