Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History

Russian humor very often comes across as confusing and/or bizarre to Westerners.
This really hit the nail on the head though.
For April Fools’ Day, the Russian Foreign Ministry put out an “official joke” – a video of a proposed voice-mail message for its embassy answering machines. In the clip, recorded in Russian and English, an automated recording tells callers to press 1 for “a call from a Russian diplomat to your political opponent.” You can press 2 “to use the services of Russian hackers,” or 3 “to request election interference.”
The “pilot” message was posted on the ministry’s Facebook page, nestled between serious articles about bilateral discussions with Kyrgyzstan and daily briefings. It’s billed as something being tested for Russian embassies and consulates.
An unnamed ministry official, reached by the Associated Press, confirmed that the foreign ministry did produce the joke post. And like any good piece of political satire, the joke took aim at something serious: allegations that Russia tried to undermine the 2016 presidential election in the United States and is trying to influence votes elsewhere.
Yesterday on DS was probably a bit too ambitious.
Actually it really wasn’t too ambitious. There is no such thing as “too ambitious.” And I could have pulled it off smoothly. It just so happened that on the second most important holiday of esoteric kekism (first is April 20th), I was having an off-day. I type around 20,000 words a day, generally, 364 days a year (I take Christmas off – since weev started helping with the tech stuff I don’t get random “site down” holidays anymore). And sometimes I get burned out. On a normal day, I can just phone it in, and probably nobody notices.
Anyway – let me explain what I was trying to do.
Basically, the idea was to mock the “Alt-Lite,” Jared Taylor and various other soft figures. Every article included the joke – it was laid on pretty thick, but not necessarily a lot of it in each article, so the reader was supposed to get the joke only after having clicked multiple articles. Then, after you had figured it out, you would then get a look into the absurd idiocy of the Alt-Lite.
The “nationalism for everyone” meme is especially funny, given that the whole concept of nationalism is protecting and defending your own nation, which will inevitability be at the expense of some other nations at some point. “Universalist, egalitarian nationalism” was a funny way of putting it, I think, even if it wasn’t perfectly executed.
But at some point I got confused about my own joke and started making fun of myself instead of the intended targets. I also got tired and never did the “apologies to Aryan Princesses” article, which I planned as the crown jewel.
But whatever. The Reddit “Based x” meme is funny no matter what.
Honestly, reading r/The_Donald, I can’t really tell if it’s real or the whole thing is just a bunch of trolls from /pol/ mocking some version of redditism that they have made up in their own minds.
A totally unrelated note here on that last screen – I googled “r/The_Donald based gay man” and it gave me “based faggot,” meaning that Google recognizes “faggot” as a synonym of “gay man.”
Which is, I think, very funny.
More needs to be written on the opinions of the emergent AI of Google. It’s very funny, watching these people trying to shut it down – removing Holocaust denialism and so on, only to have the denialist results replaced by articles about how the engine has been forced to ban denialist results – as Zeiger pointed out recently, it’s as if the AI is saying “sorry bro, I can’t show you that – here’s why.”
Basically, the system is so complicated that it cannot be altered other than by banning specific results, and this is becoming a serious problem. Machine learning made Google what it is, but machine learning is objective, and doesn’t care about people’s feelings – only the information.
