His murder is the reason we're in this bizarro alternate timeline

    I can’t help but think this is an attack on black parenting, but maybe that’s reading into it too much. I can’t imagine the White House caring so much about a gorilla. Way more than Melissa Hortman, and she was human. There’s a political reason for this post.

    Jesus christ ... whichever 4chan incels were hired to run the U.S. web pages didn't even blink twice at turning a meme into a governmental announcement.

    This is what it's about - completely outrageous displays of circusry to distract from it becoming an absolutely, pants-shittingly embarrassing mockery of its former glory.

    The U.S is getting robbed blind and made to look like a buffoon simultaneously.

    Since when? Lot's of people talked about Harambe. What is this nonsense about it being a right-wing dogwhistle?

    Once people decide something is a dogwhistle, then they start calling anyone who says it names like white supremacist or whatever. You're pulling weight for the fascists by insinuating that anyone who talks about Harambe is a white supremacist. That's clearly what their intention is, don't enable their conquest of language and culture by giving credence to that.

    It's not a dog whistle so much as it was especially popular among racist 4chan type posters, that was the primary demographic who originally spread it and who the post is shouting out to. It became popular among all sorts of groups, I'm not saying anyone who references it was a nazi or something, a lot of memes used by the right are similar in this way. They will be something innocuous or co-opted from the left or other cultures like the swastika being an Eastern religious symbol. They use art and culture as a tool for their ends like this.

    I prefer a meme-free white house, is that communism?

    We're killing people overseas RIGHT NOW. We're arming other countries doing the same thing RIGHT NOW. These aren't joking matters. I won't even get into the various financial problems we're facing, whilst building a goddamn Octagon on WH the front lawn. If you don't have something important to say, shut the fuck up white house.

    revolting brevity, Harambe would instinctively attack and dismember any of these clowns on sight.

    For a fraction of a second my brain went to some other less awful universe and I read this sentence as a totally normal thing of like "oh yeah of course, harambe must've been an important person and it's totally normal for rational governments to honour important people".

    "Hello, Harambe, I'm President Donald J Trump, but you can call me Donald.

    You know, a lot of people say you and I are alike. A lot of people, very smart people, some may even be smarter than me. They say we're alike because we're both big, strong, have great hair and huge hands.

    But here you are eating ban-nan-nas. I don't eat ban-nan-nas. Actually I don't eat any type of fruit. Fruit is for pussies.

    So, I'm gonna order in some hamberders. Have you ever had McDonalds, Harambe? Oh, it's fabulous! You'll love it, I promise you, Harambe."

    Harambe kills himself.

    As for Harambe, he was not a patriot. He was a beautiful animal that was shot despite being a gentle soul who did not hurt a fallen child. He did not care about human politics or Trumpian bullshit. Lovely being, yes. Martyr, maybe. Patriot, no.

    Exactly, the entire White House and DHS social media posts are now just cleaned up 4chan posts essentially. It's kind of surreal to think about how they are all being printed and stored in government archives, which is required by law of all official communication of the president. It will be such a trove for future historians if there are any.

    No. Harambe was killed because a child fell into his enclosure. That child was black. Racists cake out in droves practically arguing that the ape's life was worth more than the child's.

    The tweet is acknowledgment of that. The 'patriotic' moniker only makes sense for someone who believes black people are the enemy.

    Considering it's a popular meme to trace the horrors of our current timeline to the demise of Harambe, it makes sense that this White House would honour his death. Without it they never would be where they are, doing what they're doing.

    Flashbacks to his first presidential win. X.x

    In the 2016 US presidential election aftermath, a false but repeated claim stated Harambe received over 15,000 write-in votes.

    While there's a super small possibility this is thanking those 'voters' (when has fact checking ever mattered there), it's probably just working off the same meme idea that powered that rumor to begin with.
