Alt-right gonna keep shoveling billionaire propaganda and/or InfoWars/Unabomber beliefs onto every and any memetic channel, because shouting lies loud/often enough is sadly rewarded by changing sentiment in low-fact environments. (Doesn't really work so well on HN because of pervasive motivation for fact-challenging and argumentativeness.)
