    I still remember the outcry when Harambe was shot. Shit truly does feel like the point where everything began turning to shit.

    Someone I know argued that Harambe’s death led to Trump’s election, and its been burned into my mind ever since:

      Unironically, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk (and IIRC Kanye West) used the death of Harambe to spread conspiracy theories. They use a playbook designed by Steve Bannon:

      1. Y’know, this awful thing happened
      2. The people in charge didn’t handle it well
      3. There’s a reason for this: conspiracy
      4. You know who is behind this? It’s Ethnic Outgroup! They are the true villains, that Ethnic Outgroup, they’re behind the conspiracy
      5. I want you to get up, go to the window, and yell “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore”
