Meme Scholar with Madness (PhD)

[EndtheMadnessNow]

Sept 12, 1925: Philadelphia Police Director Smedley Butler admits defeat in his 18 month fight to enforce Prohibition, and will return to the Marines as a general. He likens the city's reform effort to a rich man asking a doctor "to fix up his liver so he can go at it again."




Sept 12, 1960: Candidate Kennedy gave his famous "Speech on the Catholic Faith to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association" at the Rice Hotel, Houston, Texas. "I believe in an America" speech.


President Kennedy, Sept 12, 1962: "We choose to go to the moon" speech at Rice University.


Sept 12, 1975: Members of the Church of Scientology dress up in Nazi uniforms to protest against so called Fascism outside the Tasmanian Government Tourist office to protest Tasmania’s decision not to let them open a formal church there.





What we know about Charlie Kirk's suspected assassin

Imagine that, calling everyone you disagree with a fascist, seems to radicalize people. Yet ironically, HE was the fascist.

Matt Robinson, a 27-year veteran of the Washington County Sheriffs Department, encouraged his son to turn himself in after he confessed to the killing, but he refused at first. His father then reached out for help from a youth pastor, who helped Robinson turn himself in to police.

Supposedly, this is the rifle the cops found in nearby woods. In the video showing the alleged shooter jumping down from the roof to the ground, it appears he does not have it with him or he first disassembled the rifle before leaving his perch.?


So, where's the gun he allegedly tossed into the woods? It was found in one piece, right? Why would he disassemble it on the roof and then reassemble it in the woods? Why not just leave it on the roof if he was going to just toss it in the woods? He Panicked?

I don't know anything about a Mauser model 98 .30-06 rifle or the M1996, but can that rifle be disassembled that quickly?



General consensus on the Gen Z culture meanings:
First one, which was on the fired casing, is a copypasta parodying  transgender/furry culture memes.
Second is probably a reference to the calldown code for the 500kg bomb in the multiplayer online game Helldivers 2.
Third seems to be referring to "Bella ciao," an Italian song dedicated to anti-Nazi partisans. Fourth just a troll joke.

Bella Ciao was definitely not on my bingo card for 2025.

Once again, 22 years old. Notice how many of these delusional shooters are post 9/11 babies programmed by death cult memes (Discord, 4chan, Reddit, X, Fakebook, etc.) and brain rot mass media - and our twisted educational system.

From crazy twisted meme culture wars I learned today or rather became aware of is the "Groyper War" (followers of influencer Nick Fuentes) where Nick declared Charlie Kirk for being insufficiently right wing; it appears that Tyler Robinson may have been a Groyper.

Are we witnessing an American new age version of Years of Lead poisoning our youth? It seems from how many people are reacting to the shooting that it’ll only accelerate from here, for awhile at least.

Second shooter in a month who seems to have fried their brain with memes. Probably nothing to worry about...sigh. Think we need to form a new movement for these kidz. May I suggest the "touch grass with others" movement?

There's a funny, weird, bizarre Powerpoint presentation online from a DARPA contractor about memes, memetics, and "meme wars." A couple of slides go into memetics and people identified as "true believers."

TUTORIAL: MILITARY MEMETICS (152 page ppt slide deck in PDF) Study that slide deck & you too can get a PhD in memetic warfare! (Yes, a PhD in memetics is real...in AMERICA!)


Kirk assassination hits some Oxford emotions across the pond:




Joe Rogan and Charlie Sheen share a live moment.




Oxford words of the year:

2017: Youthquake ("a significant cultural, political, or social change arising from the actions or influence of young people," originally coined in the 1960s by Vogue editor Diana Vreeland to describe sudden shifts in fashion and music.)

2018: Toxic

2019: Climate emergency (drove people into lunacy)

2020: Oxford did not choose a single word because the English language lacked any single word to describe it.

2021: Vax

2022: Goblin mode - chosen by the public through a vote for the first time in Oxford history. The term describes a type of unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, or greedy behavior that rejects social norms and expectations.

2023: Rizz - slang term that is a shortened form of "charisma" and refers to a person's style, charm, or attractiveness.

2024: Brain rot - chosen for its reflection of the perceived negative impacts of consuming excessive amounts of low-quality online content, specifically on social media. The phrase dates back to Henry David Thoreau, its usage had a massive surge in 2024.

A personal fav for 2024 was the Macquarie Dictionary in Australia for 2024 chose "Enshittification" which describes the process of online platforms degrading their quality and user experience to increase profits, a concept popularized by Cory Doctorow.

2025: Not yet chosen. One candidate is Domestic Gladio.



Reverse centaurs are the answer to the AI paradox


I think BIAD can relate to one or more of Friday's words.
The neighbor's were flummoxed by the spuddle spectacle, only later to realize they were bamboozled by the jook display.
