Your source sucks. They sound like the SPLC. They sound like the exact same people who gleefully describe every supporter of Donald Trump as racists and Nazis. Stop peddling these assholes off as writers of fact. They are authors for The Guardian and similar far left publications.

The “clown world” meme signals the idea that pluralistic, multicultural liberal democracies are both inherently ridiculous and doomed to failure. It is common currency among racist movements, and is a more pessimistic, or “blackpilled” variation on the “pepe” memes which were exchanged so freely during the heyday of the alt right.

The “clown world” meme actually just refers to the degree of double standards and idiocy that frequently results in the real world from far leftist policy. Your authors assign nefarious, racist, and Nazi connotations to anything, including Pepe the frog.

Let’s look how the authors describe themselves:

Robert Evans has worked as a conflict journalist in Iraq and Ukraine and reported extensively on far-right extremist groups in the United States. He’s particularly interested in the ways terrorist groups recruit, radicalize and communicate through the Internet. Jason Wilson is an investigative journalist who tracks the political right and extremist movements. Earlier in 2020, he revealed the identity of international neo-nazi network, The Base, using open source investigative methods. Along with his reporting at The Guardian and other outlets.

It’s funny, I haven’t seen any of the rioters wearing “Hawaiian shirts.”
