I'm not going to say anything, or do anything, other than post this link to an article I just saw linked on Twitter.
It's literally a dissertation about you guys and how you turned "Praise Kek" into a real religion, and how shitposting is a perfect encapsulation of Kierkegaard's thesis on irony.
Have fun.

Thanks, reading, bumping.
Still reading, good stuff, bump.
>Given the ideological anarchy inherent in shitposting, it tends to defy analysis. Shitposters, who are bound by nothing, set a rhetorical trap for their enemies, who tend to be bound by having an actual point. Attempts to analyze what shitposters are doing, or what their posts really mean, does nothing to defuse them; instead it reinforces their project by amplifying their signal. Shitposting can’t be refuted; it can only be repeated.
That was great!
Kek worship as a symbolic act of regaining manliness without actual effect (no *meaningful* peers to affirm), thus wasted, futile and pathetic. A thousand little toad croacks in the night, frustrated in their little pond, overbred by a collapsing civilization, calling helplessly to the mischeavous God of Chaos.

The alt-righter doesn’t need a nation to be a white nationalist. When they praise Kek or joke about participation in the “meme wars of 2016,” they are taking part in a collective narrative that is no less powerful than, say, the primal patriotism of populist celebrity-statesman Gabriele D’Annunzio’s irredentist march to take the city of Fiume from Allied forces in 1919, or the no less heady Wagnerian nationalism of the German völkische Bewegung that helped spawn the Nazis. The alt-righter’s “nation” is a hero-narrative about how the freedom of the individual (masculine) self can be secured, in part by adopting the toxic rhetoric of overt white supremacy.
I haven't read this yet (on mobile) But I question the
>no actual effect
It transcends online. If you haven't used the Kek worship to better yourself, first implicitly then overtly, then you aren't really getting it.
Emotion creates. It attracts like emotions. Creates action.
