Tracing a Meme from the Internet’s Fringe to a Republican Slogan (nytimes.com) 11 points by QML 7y ago ↗ HN
[–] ageek123 7y ago ↗ I'm not sure why the NYT is trying to make this sound somehow nefarious? All political movements have slogans and talking points. [–] hylianwarrior 7y ago ↗ Sure, but that's not the point. What the piece actually presents is a (quite interesting) illustration of how the far-right online community kicked off a specific talking point and spread it widely within just a few days.
