NPC should have been our meme. Both Kanye and Fuentes are even more terminally online than us. At least terminally online leftists are at least aware they should touch grass. These fucks just got all their social skills training from /pol/ and think that now that they talk like the funny site does, they’re now cool.

I hate that meme culture has spread to real life and chan culture has spread to the rest of the internet.

It’s because a key component of fascism is an idea (unspoken or not) of a warrior class that acts upon others, that they’re liberated through violence and have the agency to act upon those labeled as beneath them as they please. That’s what fascist aesthetics sells to them, this dream that they can be a powerful warrior with agency by becoming part of the fascist machine, by sacrificing themselves and others to it.

The whole “NPC” thing is just this amorphous underlying ideal slipping into the modern treat-centric framework, telling the angry treat lads that their opponents “aren’t even real” while selling them a dream of being the heroic player character that actually exists and can take action, which they can do by becoming part of the fascist machine and sacrificing themselves and others to it.

It’s just this whole “strong individual warrior” shit through and through. For America this used to be this idealized image of a settler patriarch stealing land and ruling his family as his own personal property that was trapped in the middle of the woods with him. Now it’s an idealized image of some dipshit CoD character or Kratos or the Dragonborn, cool violence men who act with agency in worlds full of things that fundamentally lack agency in every way.
