Delingpole: #CNNBlackmail Is the Best Thing Since Trump Got Elected
Indeed, it may be one of the greatest moments in the history of the internet.
Sure, on one level it resulted in weapons-grade trolling and a few deliciously funny memes; but in bigger picture terms it was something much more significant than that – a pivotal moment in the Culture Wars akin to the Persian defeat at Salamis or the German defeat at Stalingrad or the French defeat at Trafalgar.
Or maybe a better analogy would be the one I used on Sirius XM: the moment during the Second World War when, under the command of the brilliant Bill Slim, the ill-equipped, neglected British Fourteenth Army realized that the only way to beat the Japanese was to fight with the same aggression, cunning, and mobility of the Japanese. In other words, to use the enemy’s tactics against them.
Just like CNN, just like Antifa, just like the left generally, the Japanese were a horrible enemy to fight: utterly without scruples, fanatically convinced of the justice of their wicked cause, terrifying in the swiftness with which they swarmed and overran your position. By the time you knew what had hit you, you’d either be dead — if you were lucky — or tied, wounded, to a tree while the enemy got ready to use you for bayonet practice.
In the early stages of the war, the British and their fellow Allies were invariably on the back foot: how could they possibly defeat an enemy that didn’t play by the rules, that showed no weakness, that seemed more demonic than human?
Anyone who has ever seen action against the SJWs will know the feeling.
They hunt in packs; they swarm; they move as one as if controlled by some sinister hive mind; they are immune to reason; they are completely without mercy.
I give you, as but one example among many, the case of poor Sir Tim Hunt — the Nobel-prize-winning scientist whose career was all but destroyed for no better reason than the SJW hive mind demanded fresh blood.
The truth (that Hunt was the victim of outrageous misreporting by a dodgy hack pursuing a militant feminist agenda) was no defense. Nor were any mitigating circumstances taken into account — like, say, the fact that this alleged sexist Prof ha, in fact, spent his entire career bending over backward to help and encourage female scientists. Nor was the fact that he apologized for his non-crime.

Those memes hurt.
What you, the author of the below article and CNN clearly do not understand is that doxxing or threatening to dox to many on the internet is the ultimate unforgivable sin. It is tremendously worse than a racist post to many.

Forget fake news — alt-right memes could do more damage to democracy
I read the cited article, a total waste of 2 1/2 minutes of my life that are now gone. The author, a professorette at Penn State, is apparently incapable of stringing together coherent thoughts. I guess in academia these days belonging to the right group and having the proper opinions are more critical to success than actually making sense.
Nowhere does she actually make the case how people having and expressing alternative viewpoints threatens democracy. I kind of thought that was the whole idea of it. I suppose that shows how old I am. She complains about "memes", which most of us would define as humorous cartoons, pics or GIFs, but then spends most of the article complaining that marginalized amateur political commentators attract viewers on youtube.
I suppose it begins to make some sense if you substitute "far left radical politics" for "democracy."
It's a bit like the term "fake news," which originated in Big Media before it got turned back on them. Substitute "investigative journalism" for their use of "fake news" and it begins to make sense. They are threatened by and seek to delegitimize any investigation of topics they have ruled off limits, eg Hillary's obvious health problems, her pay for play scheme or obama's spying on the trump campaign.
OK, their heads will really explode now.
Haha. That was awesome.

These memes just did 20 to 30 years worth of work against the establishment media in a just a few months. High school kids are passing around these memes in the chat circles for fun.
The kids making the lefty arguments in the future won't be able to just point to cnn or establishment media and act like the other side is crazy. The establishment media has lost just about all their gravitas because these screwups have been turned into viral memes.
This last six months may turn out to be far tougher on the left and the establishment media than they have been on Trump.
