I do and i miss it, DO NOT SAY "It was a racist nazi group" it was not. It was a group that was about anyone that was an outcast or anyone that didn't fit in coming together to make fun of everything
Kekistan is the reason why meme's changed so much in 2016. Look at meme's pre 2016 and after. So many people were tired of life, the stress of the 2016 election and the division that we decided to just not care and make fun of everything.
In kekistan we were not a race, we were all green, the flag was even a parody of the Germany ww1 flag. People were very into this group, calling it a country, making fake passports, making a whole constitution, we had our own national anthem. This was a time were people felt more connected and has an understanding. There was actual unity, that i miss.
It was ruined in late 2016 for a couple of reason. Hilary Clinton labled pepe, the kekistan mascot as a nazi symbol because of 1 meme. Kekistan had thousands of meme's and they chose the one image of pepe dressed as a nazi to say its racist. The other reason was this interview with an asian guy who said 'Yeah kekistan is full of racist who hate everything"
This is the same guy who's currently friends with Johnny samoli in south korea. Pepe being labled a hate symbol and people saying the kekistan flag is actually a nazi flag when really its a parody of the german ww1 flag caused the movement to die out fast.
Now nobody remembers kekistan, its just been forgotten because this was such a big group and is the reason why humor and meme's changed so much in 2016. It's not racist, if it is why is the president of kekistan a black man? Why is the national anthem from Africa? Why did people from many different backgrounds say they liked kekistan when it was a thing?
I made this post on a different account on r/OlderGenZ and they all just said that im wrong and its a nazi group filled with racist. I said there wrong because i was in the group. I was in it, I was actually there. The media lied to you, to kill the group. No matter what i said, nobody believed me and said i was wrong and its a nazi group.
This is why i don't trust the media, they lied and spread false information that kekistan was a nazi group and now whenever people look it up, thats the first thing they see. No matter how hard i try to explain what it actually was, nobody believes me because of what the media said.
I just miss it because we had such great unity, it felt like anyone can come together and join in to make fun of life. Joke around and laugh and connect with our shared experiences. We were not our race or gender, we were green.
Also harambe was a symbol in this too. I remember someone made a mini statue of harambe and treated him like he was jesus saying "dicks out for harambe". This lead to people doing parody signs at protest and political events in 2016. During an antifa riot, someone had a sign that said 'Dicks out for harambe" 'Krusty Krab unfair' and the north korea flag.
This made just made life so much funnier and calmer during all the riots and anger with who was gonna win. Trump or Hilary, there was so much panic and stress, it was nice to just forget a little and laugh.
Edit: KEKISTAN IS NOT RACIST, i just explained in the post that its not a racist or nazi group. Yet you guys choose to believe the media that lied about it vs someone who was actually in the group and remember what it was like. The president of kekistan was black, the national athem was from africa. Look at any video before october 2016 and you'll see many people of different races in kekistan.

You say Kekistan wasn’t a racist symbol, then why did people fly the flag during the Unite The Right protests?
Also it was based off the Nazi Germany flag, not the Imperial German flag
Actually, no. Both flags come from the Kriegsflagge of the imperial german navy during ww1. It's actually pretty cool
The Nazi military flag was based off the Imperial German flag, but the Kekistan flag was still based off the Nazi flag
That was summer 2017. Hillary Clinton and the media labled it as a racist group around October 2016, so of course racist are gonna use it after the media says its a Nazi symbol.
Look at what kekistan was before it was labeled a racist group and you'll see what i mean with how it was a group for people to joke around, post memes and make fun of everything/take nothing serious.
It was not based off of the nazi german flag, the flag its based on the imperial German naval flag. The imperial German naval flag was changed in ww2 because obviously Germany changed but that ww2 flag was not well used and not really known. When people think of ww2 german flag, they think of the swastika flag, not the imperial flag.
The imperial Germany flag was used way more in ww1, thus why kekistan copied it because its an old flag and to parody imperialism.
Here’s a side-by-side of the Nazi and Kekistan flags

Bro i was in the group, kekistan is not racist, it was a group for anyone that felt like an outcast to join and be apart of something. Its why internet humor changed in 2016, its why meme's changed after 2016.
Kekistan had a black preisdent, the national athem was from africa. Look at videos in 2016 of kekistan. Yet you choose to believe the media.
Why are you getting so defensive? Just because you were not racist doesn’t not mean the movement itself wasn’t racist
Also saying “It can be racist, it had a black man as president” is the same as saying “racism doesn’t exist anymore, we elected a black president”
Quit making excuses and accept reality
Im defensive because this group was not racist, i loved this group. it was the only time were both people on the right and left actually felt united. To just not take thing seriously and joke about everything.
I don't want the memory of this group to be destroyed because the media lied about it and now everyone views it as an evil group when it wasn't. Just do your own research.
This is how racist and extremist groups get new people. They exploit outcast people like you and come off as a welcoming environment. Then they indoctrinate you and tell you everyone outside of their group is wrong. This is literally how cults operate
Oh my god, it was never a racist group. Many people of different races join kekistan to post meme's, not take anything seriously, make fun of everything. The media lied and said it was racist, from 1 meme and 1 interview with a person. There was no race or gender, everyone was just green.
Do your own research, look at kekistan media before October 2016 and you'll see what i mean.
please sybau 🥀

"guys it's not a nazi movement i promise! look the flag isn't even close to the nazi one!!"
you should be ashamed.
edit: also i should point out i posted the image in this comment only for comparison and i do not at all endorse nazis in any capacity
Tbh, looked the flag up before going to the comment section, but yes. While it does has strong German/ Prussian influence, this is just sad.
I'm interested in militaria and history and the Kekistan flag is honestly one of the closest thing I've seen to nazi fantasy pieces that do not use Swastikas, Seig Runes, Eagals,Totenkopf, Iron cross, or any other German or Prussian symbol known to mankind.
For anyone interested, go to the fake militaria sub reddit to see what I'm talking about.
Oh my god, i just explained in the post that ITS NOT A RACIST GROUP. i know because i was in it. Its a parody of the imperial german naval flag, not the ww2 german imerial flag.
It was a group of make fun of everything, joke around, post memes. Its why internet humor changed so much in 2016.
No matter how many time i try to explain it, you people choose to believe the media that lied about it. Kekistan had there own president that was black, the national athem is from Africa.
Look at any video before october 2016 about kekistan and you'll see many people of different races say there proudly with kekistan.
Kekistan is why people say "KEK' instead of lol in videos in the late 2010s. You were 10 in 2016, You don't remember what it was like when kekistan was new and active. Yet you choose to believe the media that lies about it.
Bro is seriously braindamaged.
Did you even read my post? kekistan is not racist, just do your own research and look at videos of kekistan before October 2016 and you'll see what i mean.
Bro you're only digging yourself a bigger hole. Please. Just stop. Its dead. Move on.
No, i dont want kekistan to be remembered as some nazi group when it wasn't
Bro its too late and nobody will listen to you when it clearly turned into that.
