TPTB hate meme majick. Fun fact, that's why they are banned on r/con.
The occult and the internet, a match made in heaven. Or hell, depending on where you are in the picture. Absolutely nobody saw that coming. It's Pepe vs. Baphomet now. Guess who is winning? The reptile cast did not think that through when they inflated Cisco- and Yahoo stock in the 90s.

The Spanish Inquisition became notorious when the medieval age was essentially over and the power of the printing press had become too strong to ignore. Every new mass communication technology had its Spanish Inquisition. It's like a rite of passage for new mass communication technology. Movies, too, had to take a lot of crap, although not in the US, afaik.
Marshal McLuhan in the 60s, "Understanding Media", said that society would collapse if the Everyman had access to mass media. MGTOW anyone?
