A while back I mentioned Kekistan here and it did not go down well... Some people say that Kekistan is some how "right wing" and that Pepe the frog is a symbol of hatred.
Which is quite amazing really, you only have to do a fairly shallow dive into the history of the movement to realise that is patently untrue.
So if I may offer the reader an education into the true origins of Kekistan as far as I have been able to determine, where we will learn that that at worst Pepe represents gentle mockery of the great evils that currently oppress all off us, (including partisan and divisive politics) and was in fact a creation by Autists and is a striking metaphor for the situation in which many of us find ourselves.
I will apologise for the lack of references, at the time I studies kekistan I did not think it was of any real importance, just a bit of amusing internet sillyness, until it suddenly started getting noticed in the real world...
It all started (I am told) on a website by the name of 4chan, which is reputed to be populated by Autists from around the world. Now as near as I can tell, us Autists come in two flavours as far as the internet (and normie majority who infest it) comes, either the silent majority, (just look at how few of us post here) or "omigod look at how much that 'sperg has written today! Will he ever give it a rest?" Well, a self identification process occurred where a bunch of fairly bright, somewhat marginalised people rather mischieveously formed a self identity, the disparate nation of Kekistan!
So strong was their feeling of nationhood and so devastatingly humourous was their outlook that Kekistan has actually obtained some minor international legal recognition in the past!
Some autistic people have a lot to say, and "memes" really work for them, so the ethnic Kekistani "meme farmer" meme quickly expanded.
I fell in love with the concept JUST as it hit it's peak. Now you have to remember that Kekistanis are by their nature an inherently peaceful, productive but deeply unsocial people (hence the diaspora) and frankly, the whole thing was all about poking a bit of fun at the normie oppressors, and reminding each other that we were't alone in our wish to be left alone. Etc.
Then an orange man won an election over the pond that he wasn't supposed to win, (Hillary had Lady De Rothschild in her camp at the time, it was supposed to be hers!) and they started looking for someone to blame...
At least that's how I got the story. It was a uniquely Autistic way to build a grassroots rebellion of sorts, (more of a mockery and exposure of the ridiculousness of our oppressors) and guerilla cells of kekistani meem farmers are to this day churning out and releasing memes of mass distraction, that everyone gets to see at some point.
To anyone out there who has played the Steve Jackson Game "Illuminati" the state of Kekistan cannot fail to be a source of great amusement.
Shadilay,my friends!
