It's quite simple.
The swastika was once a peaceful symbol.
[url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] repurposed it to represent their beliefs.
Now it represents hate.
The same has happened with 'kek.'

Except kek doesn't represent hate.

That is what I am trying to get at. It wasn't repurposed by the alt-right. The Kekistan meme was created by people who despise both the alt-right and the extreme left. It was created as a way to mock identity politics. This is why the biggest part of the meme is the Kekistani "ethnicity".

It [i]has been[/i] adopted by the alt right. That doesn't mean it was created by them.

Edited by Zipfte: 9/16/2017 6:24:15 PMPepe was used by the alt-right before the Kekistan meme was created. The alt-right was thoroughly annoyed by the use of what they considered to be "their meme" by those who were mocking them.

They also took the Aryan concept from the original Indo-European people that took control over the Indus River Valley. They basically established the basic rules and ideas that became Hinduism, and seeing as how the Swastika is a Hindu symbol it makes sense why they would use it.

Yup, 100% correct.
