Ever since the media began its campaign against the "Pepe the Frog" memes, there have been three major responses:
As shown below, this chaotic mess of views and interests collides and the poles align in a way that is no less perfect than the most perfect cosmology, allowing for something truly revolutionary to take form.
To begin, let us examine the recent proclamation that "there is but one god, Kek, and Pepe is his prophet" (if unclear what 'Kek' is, read this first).
The next object to consider is the movement's support for the "Kekistani" nation and the independence of "Kekistan". To further this cause, the language used by lib-leftists or others to promote 'acceptable' nationalisms and causes - i.e. Tibet, Black Lives Matter or Mohammadian or Jewish religious nationalism - has been appropriated. For example, I have seen people wearing shirts that proclaim "Free Kekistan", "Kek Lives Matter", or "Protect the Holy Lands".
The interests/acts of trolls, ideologues and inspired persons also collide regarding the idea that Kekistanis wish to live freely, without discrimination, and practice a culture that includes mass memeing.
The next item to discuss is an actual item - a flag that has been developed to represent the Kekistani nation. The flag is frog green, for Kek and environmental habitat. It features the petals of a four-leaf clover in its corner to represent luck, hope and the logo of 4-chan, the place where Pepe first appeared and much of the Kekistan movement took form. A black and white cross is bisected by a white circle near the center of the banner, with the words 'KEK' written vertically and horizontally, with each of the four K's rotating clockwise around the forward-facing E.
In line with the theme of promoting agitation, identification and improvised expression, the screeching sound frogs make when threatened - "reeeeeeeeeeee!" - has been used in Pepe memes to express anger or excitement, even as a battle cry. As some have pointed out, a screeching noise very similar to this sound is also typical among the autistic. Oddly enough, a hallmark of autism is being unable to determine literal intention.
The movement only seems to have gained energy from the mainstream's confusion and frustration over not being able to determine what is parody and what is not.
What will be the long term consequences of all of this? I suppose the answer depends on who you ask. But the following is a list of what the movement has influenced, or is likely to influence if the growth of the movement continues:
Identity. For years now, each European-founded civilization has been kept from expressing pride in collective identity. Google any European country or city and the word "pride", and you are going to see picture after picture of "muh sex" presented as identity. Identification for European-descended peoples is now only "ok" where those points align with globalism, or where those identities carry an implicit need to atone for some form of genocide, colonization, slavery and discrimination earlier in history, which people born today were not even alive to participate in, let alone witness. Often, 'support for globalism' has been turned into an explicit state identity (for example, in the United States, there is a debate whether immigration regulation is in fact "Un-American"), and culture, as the company Abercrombie and Fitch learned earlier this century, is only allowed to be an expression of globalism. All the identities associated with fashion trends, from goth and emo, to MTV and hip-hop, to anime and dub step, all have the common thread of promoting either a foreign or a universal culture. The movement of Kek - Kekism - changes all of this. It makes idenity more than a matter of where and how your genitalia hangs. Moreover, identity is not about a one-sided presentation of dated history used to get people to accept their dispossession, active discrimination and oppression. There is no concentration on shame or blood libel to construct group identity. Instead there is...
Positive spirit. Kekism never ventures far from humor and, for that reason, the energy is rarely negative; instead, there are ideas based on hope, luck and destiny. In fact, almost everything about Kekism is based on hope, luck and destiny, setting Kekism apart from nearly every identitarian movement in any European-founded civilization, as they tend to be based on a furious reaction to the betrayal and impending destruction of our people. This is an important development; one topic that is rarely talked about - in no small part because it deviates from the one-humanity one-worldist assumptions that we are supposed to operate under - is that the European-founded civilizations, for as many innovations and discoveries as they have contributed to the world, gravitated towards negativity and pessimism, even before the World Wars. One can evaluate whether this true, or actually even a good thing. But at the moment, in the current set of circumstances, pessimism is debilitating. And, if there is a power in positive thinking, Kekism captures it perfectly.
Humor. This work has already touched upon the attraction of humor and, as political humor, its value in identity-building and identity reaffirmation. But humor also allows ideas which are taboo to question to be presented in a way that can make intent unclear. In turn, one cannot be certain that the ideas they would find objectionable (and would respond to with a knee-jerk unthinking response) are even present. In a similar way, a critique can be so terribly performed that the target is confused of intent and spared from any sort of emotional reaction - all due to seemingly unintended ambiguity. The importance of this characteristic cannot be stressed enough. For one, it prevents anyone from acting in serious opposition because they are under the presumption that what they are seeing is a joke; this veil also safeguards the promoter from persecution, and prevents the idea being promoted from being flatly rejected as a result of any number of inherent biases that the viewer has learned through his or her culturalization. Take for example idea of a "Free Kekistan" and a "Kekistani homeland." The politically-correct lib-left globalists hear the words "Kekistan" and "Kekistani" and think "oh, a reference to an underprivileged, third-worldish ethnicity."
Thus, the term goes under the radar and does not cause a knee-jerk reaction as other nationalist proclamations of self-determination might - especially if that proclamation were to be made by a people who happen to be white. But, in truth, where one might expect to find a "Kekistani", based on an understanding of world geography, corresponds to the relative location from whence all white people migrated, leading up to the diaspora due to their gradual dispossession across the West, in states that their ancestors established. Under normal circumstances, the displaced people who are native to this region are referred to en masse with labels that, combined with the notion of oppression and victimhood, cause a knee-jerk reaction. The reason is their oppression and victimhood due to discrimination is something that the system denies could even exist as a possiblity in the first place. Similarly, the use of the term Kekistani, instead of another euphemism for those descended from the European peoples, avoids those same lables that come with heavily-loaded concepts attached to them. This ties into the next point because, as already suggested, there is more going on here than just humor.
Reflection. Kekism uses humor to turn the world on its head and force people to use their critical thinking skills. Under Kekism, accepted ideas of the mainstream are scooped up and put in a new casing to be held, turned over and reexamined. Sometimes, concepts are so closely intertwined with the context that houses them that the concepts, separated from their casing, are still influenced by the original context. Examining the idea of a homeland for the "Kekistani" people is one example of this theory put into practice. The branded slogans mentioned earlier in this article are another example. Consider the slogan "Free Tibet!" and the movement associated with it. The lib-left has no qualms with this cause even though it advertises self-determination and the forbidden "n word" of nationalism. So, Kekism asks "how does the public respond when that message is changed to "Free Kekistan?"" There are more possibilities for examination and analysis that switching the casing which houses the idea, however. For instance, the viewer may take a look at the concepts free from the shell, acquire a new view of the whole and, when putting them back together, question what was so readily accepted about the original. Here, the slogan from the first and second shahada, about one god, Kek, and Pepe being his prophet, is a good example. As stated, the lib-left will probably respond in anger that this is all just provocation towards Islam. But at the end of the day what is being done here is just a cultural reappropriation - just like when the Christians took concepts from the pagans, or the Muslims themselves did. Reevaluation can bring to light all of this, awakening people to a new understanding. Kek culture is giving us that power - the power to force reflection and discussion.
Strategic inclusion. Positioned only against "normies" and "cucks", Kekism allows for unification around world view without dipping into words that exclude sympathizers for whatever reason, whether it be due to state boundaries, some hyper-polarized term or otherwise. This circumvents a problem that has surfaced among various groups that wished to oppose globalization or one-world-ism, yet remain trapped by such limits. Using a state identity term, for example, comes with the baggage of revanchist causes, localist entrenchment or linguistic limitations that limit application. Likewise, many state-referencing terms have become badges of identification synonymous with globalism and no longer have value. Not everyone lives in Russia, where there is a different word for "state citizen" and "national" - "русские" (russkiye) and "россияне" (rossiyane), respectfully. For most of us, trying to preserve the meaning of our state identity means fighting against a state term like "Swede" or "Canadian" which was purposely made ambiguous to open the floodgates of immigration, creating an uphill battle that, in some states like Germany, will even result in problems with the law.
Culture. As for defining the culture of Kek, online communities have come up with various ideas. The root, of course, begins with a parody of the lib-left globalists and everyone who opposes us, which provides an outlet for humor and creativity, expressions that free the spirit. This is an effective way for exposure to expand, because humor and creativity gain attention and attract interest. But beyond that, Kekism has provided an open box to pour in everything that one wishes was, or remained, in our "real" culture. Here, there is a chance to define culture without going through the (((gatekeepers of culture))) or having to sell out to achieve mainstream marketability. Perhaps more importantly, this fresh oasis of culture is an area where one can see what a culture not controlled by these elements could look like.
Controlling the language. Calling the opposition "cucks" and "normies" marginalizes the desirability of being on the other side in ways that commie and other slurs used to. Of course, words like "commie" continue to be used to try to typify the position of the left but, now that the USSR has disappeared as a country to be spying for or selling out to, and ever since "Che culture" and the non-education system left their mark, the slur is not nearly as effective as it used to be. By contrast, the insult of "cuck" forces men to at least consider the thought that, by defending the mainstream system, they are consenting to taking a position where they agree to be de-balled. This is a big deal because, for as long as anybody can remember, soft and conceding men have not been considered "manlike" and have been ridiculed by men because they are scorned by women. Since then, society has made zero effort to reform female preferences when it comes to picking the men they go for. Thus, men still feel the pressure to be "manlike" more than just about anything else if they want respect from other men and any semblance of a sex life. What this means is, until women rewire themselves and start exclusively dating soft "cuck" men, and until men actually gain something from the system by being "cucks", the "cuck" slur will continue to hit men in the balls like a sack of bricks. "Normie" is a much less powerful insult at first glace. But, looking closer, it addresses the peculiarity where, despite being the absolute and only accepted position of the mainstream, the lib-left has still retained this legacy of being "rebellious and edgy". Today, that power monopoly probably affects women more than men; women think that being a tattooed, foul-mouthed open borders and open pants advocate is somehow unconventional, like it is 1950 and everywhere you look you see Mrs. Betty Fucking Crocker. Obviously, that is not the case. At the very least, "normie" addresses the world we live in.
Conclusion:
Kek could become the foundation for a belief system based on positive virtues such as luck, hope and positive thinking, bringing about a new kind of enlightenment to replace the flawed, old one. This could create a culture beyond the one-way street we currently have, which does little more than mutilate the body and spirit. Kekism is about at least laying a framework to consider commonality and community, as opposed to some abstract idea of community where commonality is a bunch of individuals encouraged to do what they want at the expense of one another or advance the interests of the groups they are not really a part of. We want a blank slate, not a criminal record to inherit and remember because of something somebody did three centuries or seventy decades ago. We should have a right to be nothing we are not - and to be free to forge like-minded communities and cultures that reflect who we are, do not leave us empty and can actually advance man forward, rather than turning him back into a primate.
- Some individuals have found the media's response to the memes comical and have used Pepe to push people's buttons and capture the media spotlight because of it.
- Others have found in Pepe a powerful icon for a political movement and, in consequence, used Pepe's recognizability to project presence/generate conversation on key issues to advance political goals.
- Finally, there are those who are simply bewildered by the occurrences of 2016, aware of Pepe's connection to such events and keen to celebrate what has unexpectedly transpired.
As shown below, this chaotic mess of views and interests collides and the poles align in a way that is no less perfect than the most perfect cosmology, allowing for something truly revolutionary to take form.
To begin, let us examine the recent proclamation that "there is but one god, Kek, and Pepe is his prophet" (if unclear what 'Kek' is, read this first).
- The proclamation razzes politically-correct types who think it is an offensive and disrespectful mockery of the first and second shadada of Islam, which states "there is no god but God and Muhammad is his prophet." The controversy that results is perfect for those who are looking to troll politically-correct types for a reaction and grab the media spotlight as a result.
- The attention that the above-mentioned trolling generates is also a weapon for those who want to use the situation to accomplish serious, real-world objectives. Because the mainstream, elitist, lib-left globalist media is likely to respond to the trolling in a way that scolds/shames the perpetrators for being insensitive to Islam, one can challenge the lib-left globalists to explain why they supported their own liberal ilk drawing caricatures of Muhammad (Charlie Hebdo, anyone?), an act that many Muslims find offensive. In other words, the conversation can expose the hypocrisy of the lib-left. It can also force the lib-left to take a general side in the free speech debate, which can expose even more inconsistency. For example, by defending Charlie Hebdo, a magazine that seems to be aware of the threat of Islamic militants coming into the country, the lib-left stands by an outlet that goes against the lib-left's own platform that "nothing is wrong with immigration and all dangers
are lies concocted by prejudiced, murderous bigots who just hate
foreigners." Finally, talking about Charlie Hebdo can force the left to admit that yes, there are problems that
come with open-borders immigration, that criticism of open-borders policy is legitimate after all and that, while
there were murderous bigots in the Charlie Hebdo case, they were some of the people that the
lib-left said nobody should worry about and should be welcomed with open arms. On the other hand, if the lib-left distances itself from Charlie Hebdo, it comes across as an anti-free speech totalitarian, pissing off every libertarian or anarcho-liberal, and diverging from the rainbows-and-sunshine and holding-hands-jumping-through-a-meadow imagery that the lib-left tries to convey regarding their policies and politics. The lib-left instead gains an image as the party of censorship and totalitarian authoritarianism, which is how the communists lost the support of the New Left, by the way. In conclusion, for or against Charlie Hebdo, the lib-left is forced to confront a major issue that can split its support, which is a good thing.
The drama that mass-meming pranksters and conversation-starters generate can also be a tool to project presence, which is empowering for those who feel alone and isolated because of their political thoughts and conclusions. As can be seen on various message boards, as well as Snapchat and Instagram, when like-minded people are brought together, they experience a positive reafirmation. The power of this should not be underestimated. It was a witty remark about the water in Flint that reaffirmed my faith in the Trump campaign, specifically because I thought the witty remark was a good indication of who was behind the movement, and what their views were - and this only made me want to take a more active role. And so I did. So, in conclusion, there can be no denying of this reaffirmative power - and, assuming others had a similar reaction and were motivated to push on, it was a positive development for the movement as a whole. But of course - the globalist lib-left has been employing this strategy for decades. Each night, talk show hosts supporting their position mixed humor and politics to the same effect, giving already-politicized viewers the assurance that they are not alone in their thoughts. Each night, responding to well-rehearsed political jokes and material, many such viewers likely laughed and nodded their way to becoming even more entrenched in their opinion, believing that their side was "clever" and the other, "buffoonish" (1, 2, 3). The community-building and politically-shaping effect may have carried over to the uninitiated and apolitical as well, because there was potential to influence how these groups thought about the world, too - especially when those who would be bored with political ranting were kept attentive because the message was subtle, hidden behind the curtain of comedic entertainment. But the lib-left globalists knew what they were doing. And, today, so do those who are using the new, democratized and decentralized frontier of social media to disseminate memes and accomplish community-building to identity-reinforcement, as previous generations have with more-limited technology.
Another point is that a community honoring Kek and Pepe may be just the sort of microcosm that the politically-inclined wish to create. Just watch what happens when, by default, major religious populations exclude themselves because their religion forbids them from taking part in what is being built. The result is a community that is spared the danger of socio-political Islamification, which is more than the society we are part of today can say. Moreover, this community must not fear subversion to the religious interest groups that have hijacked various movements across the West to advance their own interests, especially in the Middle East. It is critical, however, that this exclusion is neither willed nor planned, as this will help the movement avoid all the red flags and laws that were put into place to ensure the promotion of multiculturalism and cut down those who opposed it. For all of these reasons, the movement behind Kek and Pepe is in a better position to remain true to its core, avoid crucial obstacles and accomplish community-advancing objectives than even the most advanced, state-born national movement (more on this later).
- Building a community around honoring Kek and Pepe and the events of 2016 is something the apolitical may be interested in, too. The reason is simple: very little has been spared by the mainstream 'culture of critique', which was used to undermine traditional values and beliefs and open the pathway to acceptance of open-border policy and diversity. Now that the West's belief in diversity is coming undone because enthusiasm is dying down as the reality of the program's downsides sinks in, there is nothing to "return to" per se - it has all been knocked down, derided and defaced. The only thing left is the sort of anti-white, anti-male, anti-Christian, anti-Europe, anti-national cynicism that was put into place to promote the movement towards diversity in the first place. Our culture reflects this void precisely. In turn, it may be refreshing to have something to celebrate and believe in again that is not pessimistic in outlook - something that, at the same time, lacks many of the flaws that made old religions susceptible to the 'culture of critique' to begin with. Think about it: whoever decided to codify "the will of the divine" and, in the same stroke, pardon slavery or demand dietary habits that now make little sense really set the rest of their ideas up to be scrutinized, as believers must explain why certain things are not moral or necessary that the scriptures say are moral or necessary, and why the rest of the things that are moral or necessary remain moral or necessary. Either something is divine, or it is not.
The next object to consider is the movement's support for the "Kekistani" nation and the independence of "Kekistan". To further this cause, the language used by lib-leftists or others to promote 'acceptable' nationalisms and causes - i.e. Tibet, Black Lives Matter or Mohammadian or Jewish religious nationalism - has been appropriated. For example, I have seen people wearing shirts that proclaim "Free Kekistan", "Kek Lives Matter", or "Protect the Holy Lands".
- These messages poke fun of known causes and slogans, surely generating laughs. At the same time, parodying ideas associated with "minority" causes - i.e. Black Lives Matter - is sure to frustrate the "cucks" and "normies" and generate attention.
- For those who have serious political goals, parodies of causes like Black Lives Matter turn the public forum into a place where opposition and identification with opposition are put on display, triggering the same atmosphere discussed in the previous section. Moreover, through parody, actual movements can be stripped of their legitimacy, challenging the current status quo and creating a new status quo. Finally, in several examples, the language of acceptable nationalisms is being borrowed and a message is being put out there about a displaced people (more on this later) in need of its own community. This message comes at a time when, throughout the West, one finds the same social degenerate "utopia" that the lib-left globalists have created at site after site, each suffering from the same problems as the other due to the reigning ideology where, like something out of a nightmare, jihadist terror and overpolicing to prevent said terror is something we are told to get used to because it comes with the territory. The parody of a nationalist-separatist movement amidst this climate can become something that those with serious, political objectives can use to generate awareness of real problems and solutions, all the while taking refuge within the protective zone of parody.
- For those who may not have considered the lolz or political reasons for supporting a Kekastani nation, there are those who may simply wish to embrace the idea. And why not? It's not like we have any other meaningful identities to celebrate. That was something else which was taken away from us. In this day and age, an identity built around celebrating positive, modern coincidence and foretold change is refreshing.
The interests/acts of trolls, ideologues and inspired persons also collide regarding the idea that Kekistanis wish to live freely, without discrimination, and practice a culture that includes mass memeing.
- Advocacy of a right to freely produce memes is sure to generate plenty of laughs and attention, attracting efforts by those who are in it for the lolz.
- On the other hand, the cry to protect mass memeing is a modernized and highly-cartoonized representation of America's most fundamental expressive freedoms concerning publication and free speech. In an era where people are fired from their jobs or expelled from their studies for having certain opinions, where free speech has already been criminalized and internet censorship is a part of life for Europe and other parts of the world, it is easy to see how a parody of a movement about freedom of expression advances the cause of real-world, free speech political activism that may become more and more important if the globalists resort to increasingly oppressive action to silence their critics and prevent anyone from changing the West's course.
- Finally, the importance of mass memeing is indeed part of the takeaway from all of this, and some may wish to celebrate the act, the power of meming, to acknowledge its significance. In the process, the public is made aware of the importance of mass memeing, which only empowers the theatrical trolls and politically-minded by making it easier for them to accomplish their objectives through mass awareness.
The next item to discuss is an actual item - a flag that has been developed to represent the Kekistani nation. The flag is frog green, for Kek and environmental habitat. It features the petals of a four-leaf clover in its corner to represent luck, hope and the logo of 4-chan, the place where Pepe first appeared and much of the Kekistan movement took form. A black and white cross is bisected by a white circle near the center of the banner, with the words 'KEK' written vertically and horizontally, with each of the four K's rotating clockwise around the forward-facing E.

| The flag of Kekistan |
- The flag's design is the perfect parody of this and, because the word 'kek' means 'lol', the perfect parody of itself.
- At the same time, given the above, the movement's commitment to free speech and expressive freedom is practically embedded in the fabric. The same can be said about other elements in the design, including points of Kekistani identity such as habitat and heritage.
- The flag also has visual appeal, which makes for an effective tool to promote and celebrate the Kekistani idea. Just as importantly, the design of the flag incorporates key themes like luck and hope, all the while paying tribute to Kek and meme magic, symbolizing everything that many supporters wish to be seen endorsing.
In line with the theme of promoting agitation, identification and improvised expression, the screeching sound frogs make when threatened - "reeeeeeeeeeee!" - has been used in Pepe memes to express anger or excitement, even as a battle cry. As some have pointed out, a screeching noise very similar to this sound is also typical among the autistic. Oddly enough, a hallmark of autism is being unable to determine literal intention.
The movement only seems to have gained energy from the mainstream's confusion and frustration over not being able to determine what is parody and what is not.
- For the first group in particular, this means the joke is even funnier.
- For the second group, it means better protection from persecution under the cover of parody. For the final group, the circumstances contribute to the fascination and enigma of Pepe and Kek.
- But these developments have a mutually-reinforcing effect, remaining true to the idea that, although there appears to be a triumvirate - three-part axis - of power, that power is interconnected, and perhaps interdependent.
What will be the long term consequences of all of this? I suppose the answer depends on who you ask. But the following is a list of what the movement has influenced, or is likely to influence if the growth of the movement continues:
Identity. For years now, each European-founded civilization has been kept from expressing pride in collective identity. Google any European country or city and the word "pride", and you are going to see picture after picture of "muh sex" presented as identity. Identification for European-descended peoples is now only "ok" where those points align with globalism, or where those identities carry an implicit need to atone for some form of genocide, colonization, slavery and discrimination earlier in history, which people born today were not even alive to participate in, let alone witness. Often, 'support for globalism' has been turned into an explicit state identity (for example, in the United States, there is a debate whether immigration regulation is in fact "Un-American"), and culture, as the company Abercrombie and Fitch learned earlier this century, is only allowed to be an expression of globalism. All the identities associated with fashion trends, from goth and emo, to MTV and hip-hop, to anime and dub step, all have the common thread of promoting either a foreign or a universal culture. The movement of Kek - Kekism - changes all of this. It makes idenity more than a matter of where and how your genitalia hangs. Moreover, identity is not about a one-sided presentation of dated history used to get people to accept their dispossession, active discrimination and oppression. There is no concentration on shame or blood libel to construct group identity. Instead there is...

And, if there is a power in positive thinking, Kekism captures it perfectly.
Humor. This work has already touched upon the attraction of humor and, as political humor, its value in identity-building and identity reaffirmation. But humor also allows ideas which are taboo to question to be presented in a way that can make intent unclear. In turn, one cannot be certain that the ideas they would find objectionable (and would respond to with a knee-jerk unthinking response) are even present. In a similar way, a critique can be so terribly performed that the target is confused of intent and spared from any sort of emotional reaction - all due to seemingly unintended ambiguity. The importance of this characteristic cannot be stressed enough. For one, it prevents anyone from acting in serious opposition because they are under the presumption that what they are seeing is a joke; this veil also safeguards the promoter from persecution, and prevents the idea being promoted from being flatly rejected as a result of any number of inherent biases that the viewer has learned through his or her culturalization. Take for example idea of a "Free Kekistan" and a "Kekistani homeland." The politically-correct lib-left globalists hear the words "Kekistan" and "Kekistani" and think "oh, a reference to an underprivileged, third-worldish ethnicity."

| Hmm, well, I must say Kekistani sounds poor and foreign... |
Thus, the term goes under the radar and does not cause a knee-jerk reaction as other nationalist proclamations of self-determination might - especially if that proclamation were to be made by a people who happen to be white. But, in truth, where one might expect to find a "Kekistani", based on an understanding of world geography, corresponds to the relative location from whence all white people migrated, leading up to the diaspora due to their gradual dispossession across the West, in states that their ancestors established. Under normal circumstances, the displaced people who are native to this region are referred to en masse with labels that, combined with the notion of oppression and victimhood, cause a knee-jerk reaction. The reason is their oppression and victimhood due to discrimination is something that the system denies could even exist as a possiblity in the first place.

Here, there is a chance to define culture without going through the (((gatekeepers of culture))) or having to sell out to achieve mainstream marketability. Perhaps more importantly, this fresh oasis of culture is an area where one can see what a culture not controlled by these elements could look like.
Controlling the language. Calling the opposition "cucks" and "normies" marginalizes the desirability of being on the other side in ways that commie and other slurs used to. Of course, words like "commie" continue to be used to try to typify the position of the left but, now that the USSR has disappeared as a country to be spying for or selling out to, and ever since "Che culture" and the non-education system left their mark, the slur is not nearly as effective as it used to be. By contrast, the insult of "cuck" forces men to at least consider the thought that, by defending the mainstream system, they are consenting to taking a position where they agree to be de-balled. This is a big deal because, for as long as anybody can remember, soft and conceding men have not been considered "manlike" and have been ridiculed by men because they are scorned by women. Since then, society has made zero effort to reform female preferences when it comes to picking the men they go for. Thus, men still feel the pressure to be "manlike" more than just about anything else if they want respect from other men and any semblance of a sex life. What this means is, until women rewire themselves and start exclusively dating soft "cuck" men, and until men actually gain something from the system by being "cucks", the "cuck" slur will continue to hit men in the balls like a sack of bricks. "Normie" is a much less powerful insult at first glace. But, looking closer, it addresses the peculiarity where, despite being the absolute and only accepted position of the mainstream, the lib-left has still retained this legacy of being "rebellious and edgy". Today, that power monopoly probably affects women more than men; women think that being a tattooed, foul-mouthed open borders and open pants advocate is somehow unconventional, like it is 1950 and everywhere you look you see Mrs. Betty Fucking Crocker. Obviously, that is not the case. At the very least, "normie" addresses the world we live in.
Kek could become the foundation for a belief system based on positive virtues such as luck, hope and positive thinking, bringing about a new kind of enlightenment to replace the flawed, old one. This could create a culture beyond the one-way street we currently have, which does little more than mutilate the body and spirit. Kekism is about at least laying a framework to consider commonality and community, as opposed to some abstract idea of community where commonality is a bunch of individuals encouraged to do what they want at the expense of one another or advance the interests of the groups they are not really a part of. We want a blank slate, not a criminal record to inherit and remember because of something somebody did three centuries or seventy decades ago. We should have a right to be nothing we are not - and to be free to forge like-minded communities and cultures that reflect who we are, do not leave us empty and can actually advance man forward, rather than turning him back into a primate.
