---------------------> Some Somali person or a small subsect of Somali individuals online comes out with an insane rhetoric of some kind on tiktok/twitter etc
--------------------> The rest of the Somali community gives it unlimited attention, making posts and reposts all about it
--------------------> This "normalises" and "legitimises" the rhetoric as something that is legitimately held by Somali people at large, despite the fact that none of you have ever interacted or dealt with these talking points from other somalis before until that small subsection said it on tiktok/twitter or wherever the f*ck
------------------- > due to the widespread discussion of the original talking point, this spreads to foreigners, who now also simply absorb all of this as normalised discourse/cultural aspects of the somali community, despite it only really being a small minority of people that thought this
-------------------> Other somalis who have come into contact with this rhetoric through constant repetition now start to lean into it's talking points the more they hear about it being discussed. Constant discussion about it and debate legitimises these as "real talking points" instead of useless garbage that some dude blurted out on tiktok a few weeks ago
------------------> through constant repetition this process continues until this becomes the new normal. The lines get blurred and people forget that some random minority group of individuals essentially made it all up to being with.
You can put basically any negative subculture/stereotype we've gained since the incel era started into this formula and it's 100% accurate
This process isn't new or unique to somalis, Trump becoming a legitimate presidential candidate instead of a meme in 2016, Andrew tate and red pill content a few years ago, even in other ethnic groups things like the "FBA Movement" for black americans. The system of consistently pushing a talking point online until it the ideology/concept becomes universally established has existed for a long time. And with the way social media is set up for engagement it will only happen more and more. I've noticed an uptick of this with how had Elon Musk has pushed for the allowance of misinformation also.
But no group does it to the same degree that we do, you can see it in the past where constant debates about our racial identity was pushed by somali incels to the point that it's now damn near become synonymous with our existence, to as recently as this week where a small minority of people decided to go online and talk about not voting for Fateh in the election due to clan affiliation and it blowing up to this degree. It's unfathomable.
There is no solution to this by the way, if you're familiar with my account on this platform I spend most of my time begging people to not push these negative talking points so much and to simply ignore them, as ignoring is the only fix to this problem. But i've come to the realisation that you simply won't. This is who we are as a people LMAOOOOO.
I'm just letting you know that this shit aint ending anytime soon so strap in cuz there's gonna be more
