new group formed last year - Marginal Dissidents Anonymous - [PEACE]
I must have missed this one, apparently there's a 10 step program y'all might be interested in. Amazing the wheat you can miss amongst the chaff... Here's copy pasta of someone's experience: John Anon: Hi, I ... this is hard, sorry. I'm a marginal dissident. I've been denying this to myself and others for a long time now. It's really, you know, such a relief to be able to say that to you. Mod: That's really good, John. Go on - how did it start for you? JA: Well it was the memes really, they kept calling me. Like most of you (I assume) I tried to ignore them for a long time, but I sneaked a read here and there, you know, after my family had all gone to sleep. My work started really suffering, my family never saw much of me at all ... [Crying and tissues handed out] JA: Sorry. I just, I just couldn't stop you know, I learned how to Gimp and that rush, it was just such a rush, so many Gimpers kept cheering us on, even though we were all anons, and all these boards just started popping up - 4chan, 8chan, GroyperChan, even some strange French sites that allowed unlimited meme forwarding. [JA seems entranced.] Mod: John? JA: Yes? Mod: You were talking about memes? JA: Oh yes, I'm so sorry, where was I? Mod: Memes! JA: Yes, that's right, memes ... well many of us started storming the chans with meme after meme after meme, it was anuddah shower ya know? And then the chans couldn't take the heat, so Amblin Memer created this forum, the daily memer - it was, you know, it was just so totally out there we could hardly believe it. It was gift to all us margindal dissidents, such an amazing gift it had to have come direct from Pepe you know? [Lots of nods and a few grunts of confirmation.] JA: Then one day, and I'm sure you're all familiar with it, trolls started shutting us all down - everyone who'd ever memed, exactly 6 million of us from memory, it was exactly like another holocaust! We had torrents of memes one day and BAM! the next, all showered! Many of us lost our jobs, we were being outed in public, and it was the greatest crime known to millenials - the meme! Lynch mobs were cut loose and the lame stream media doxxed and pilloried everyone they could identify, especially when The Great Orange Memer forwarded one of our memes, which was simultaneously both ... Mod: John! [John abruptly interrupted and looks a little shocked...] Mod: John, you know we're not supposed to use such big words as "simultaneously", you've agreed we have to begin being compliant and you've also agreed that this is a safe space for YOU, where you can begin to be compliant and give up being a dissident. Try using the word "at the same time". Go on, you can continue now John. JA: Um, sorry, yes, but "at the same time is 3 ... sorry I mean 4 words, not one? Mod: Do NOT challenge me JOHN! You know the rules, and the court has very kindly allowed you to come here and participate in this safe space, and you know this is your last chance before The Public Outing. And you know that if you repeat any of the content of this safe space publicly, you will automatically be outed. Please John - I barracked REALLY hard for you to get this chance, Madam "Is Not President Since 2016 And Never Will Be President You Evil War Mongering Biatch" was not pleased with my overruling her on this one, she said "That's a bit Rich, Seth!" but then proceded to allow me, sorry I mean YOU, this one chance. Mod: So PLEASE John, don't blow it this time, or there's nothing more I can do for you ... Mod: OK class, we'll take a short break as this has been rather intense - repeat after me now - "I am a man, not a meme." All: I am a man, not a meme. Mod: I am compliant, and this brings peace. All: I am compliant, and this brings peace. Mod: I was a marginal dissident, but now I am compliant in peace. All: I was a marginal dissident, but now I am compliant in peace. Mod: Thank you! Thank you so much everybody, you've been so very peaceful, and John, remember the rules! I'll see you all tomorrow. ... to be continued ... add your continuation below.
