I was a 4chantard since 2009, so I saw the rise of the Pepe meme from almost day 1. One thing a faggot like Sargon will never truly appreciate is the gestalt, the hivemind, that generated the Kek meme. If you haven't already, look up the original Kek Magic that we discovered in 2015. This was at least a year before S'r'gn got his hands on it.

There is a phenomenon I've noticed since my childhood spent around the hippies of the late 60s early 70s. Any time you have a grassroots movement, regardless of what it's for or why, it invariably without fail gets hijacked by grifters who redirect the entire movement towards their own goals. So, for example, a new skate park is proposed, to give skaters a place to go without screwing up traffic. The movement starts, funding is raised, maybe some arguments with the town council leads to some campaigning. Next thing you know, you get some shmuck that comes in all smiles and energy, and slides into the crowd and starts getting the people to look instead at his/her agenda but still wearing the mask of being part of the movement. Eventually, the skate park is ignored and the movement is now focused on something else while funds continue to be funneled into their bank account.

Personally, as an old Pepe, I say use it well. It wasn't always cringe.
