Why “Cash Me Ousside” must be stopped.
The memes are out of control.
I have never understood how the Cash Me Ousside, Howbow Dah craze got started. I don’t even understand how it’s still a thing. But it’s annoying, and has got to stop.
First thing, it’s stupid. This is the precise reason why people are getting and appreciating the stupid more than the smart. Nerds and geeks are made fun of and stupid people who can’t use correct grammar gets the internet’s attention.
I follow a twitter account that solely takes screenshots of tweets that make no sense. It’s called the Idiot Olympics. Now, I tend to find this funny, but the fact that this is coming to the populus’ attention isn’t good. It’s akin to the MTV show 16 and pregnant. Many girls are getting pregnant from a young age solely to be on an ill advised tv show.

My point is that these silly trends promote things that are not good for the future of our generation. And more to the point, it makes other countries greater than America. Germany, for instance, has a better healthcare, better education system, and they are pretentious about their rules (although I’m a little biased towards Germany, as I studied abroad there).
This also points to part of the reason our President, or as I like to call him, our Overlord in Chief got elected in the first place. He heavily uses twitter to spread his version of the news and how things happened. Whether or not it was true, (and it usually isn’t) is how he controls the populus.
More to the point, he’s using similar tatics as Hitler... Yes, I know, another German reference.... But my point remains: faulty information, faulty trends makes the nation and makes the decisions.
To summarize this in one word: Propaganda.
