> There was this penguin i saw going to the mountains a while back. He walked a fourteen mile path. Papers said it was a suicide but he told me there wasn't any suicide to it. Told me that he'd been planning to go there for about as long as he could remember. Said that if they turned him out he'd do it again. Said he knew he was going to Chuck's store. "Be there in about fifteen minutes". I don't know what to make of that. I sure don't.

I guess most people envy that penguin. such a little being, fearlessly heading towards something much bigger than him.

why did this blow up so much on zoomtok and youtube recently?

Dumb leftie antifaggot, the "chuds" as you call it, popularized it years ago.

>>217619981
the real reason - the video legitimately speaks to something profound in all of us, and particularly that most people, especially young people, are clearly unhappy with how they're living in the modern day, and that's in pretty much every country. This is the same reason the penguin was a recurring meme on /tv/ and other imageboards for years now, and it was only a matter of time before it went viral. People on the internet, and especially this website, will always tend to go and shit on anything that becomes popular/mainstream solely because it has gone mainstream - a lot of the replies in this thread, and to your post, display that pretty clearly with regards to this penguin. But it really is a moving clip, and mixing it with that song (you'll know if you've seen the reels/tiktoks) was the extra push it needed to make something that's had a real cultural impact. I for one am simply happy to see our penguin get the recognition he deserves.

also some people have been trying to claim it as a political mascot, but I would personally ignore that, the penguin isn't a culture war figure.
>>
>>217621933
you've got it backwards niggerbrain. the penguin was to a large extent a chud thing on 4chan for YEARS, and then it got popular, and now it's got mainstream apolitical appeal with normies (which is a good thing btw because the message it's being used to send is a fundamentally good one and much needed in this day and age, that message being something along the lines of "follow your own path no matter what". starting to complain that it's a culture war icon is retared behaviour because that isn't what it is, but the quickest way to turn it into one is by complaining like you are now.

i have no idea why so many reactionary retards are taking this penguin as aspirational. his brain is broken. he has succumbed to the death drive, he is suicidal. he is not thinking clearly. no different than donald and greenland.

those who take from it some kind of intrepid individualist man who wishes to Conquer the distant mountain are literal retards.

There ya go
>>
>>217622320
the best way to vindicate people trying to make the penguin political is by being a retard like you and wilfully misinterpreting what the penguin means to them. People realise it's most likely a deranged penguin in the literal sense, but they see it as a symbol of striving, of following your own path no matter the odds. don't obfuscate that.
>>
>>217622372
that may be, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a positive message for so many people to have exposed to them

Nah, they did that after it had already blown up, and it was a cringe attempt to hijack the meme, not the meme itself.

>>217622375
okay, fine. striving towards what though? what is the end that you envision? the reason why the penguin clip confuses people is because the penguin's end he's pursuing is deeply illogical and will kill him. you can abstract away from the clip a striving goal, but that's ignoring the entire context of the clip, you know?

Penguins have a homing sense similar to other birds that travel long distances, and at times this sense gets thrown off by weather patterns, the magnetic poles adjusting ever so slightly year after year, and simply hormone imbalance. That the right-wing has identified with this easily explainable derivation in behavior is quite humorous given the fact that humans are naturally social animals that need to help one another to survive and to act against this instinct is similar to the penguin wandering off to its death.
>>
>>217621958
The same retards who shit on that retard for going in the woods with no knowledge or plan and dying are the same retards who think the mentally ill penguin without a drive to live wandering in the wrong direction until it starves somewhere in that massive freezing cold expanse is some sort of based Amerifat standin who is going his own way and totally not insane and gonna die.

if you're legitimately unable to look at that clip and not feel what I'm talking about instinctively then you might not have a soul anon. When Herzog goes, "but why?", as the camera pans out to show just how small the penguin is before the mountains, your mind should immediately feel the meaning I'm alluding to. If you legitimately don't get it then I can't explain it for you, you either get it or you don't.

I'm a /tv/ chud and my heroes are a penguin that killed itself, a faggot Japanese writer who killed himself, a guy who stole a plane and killed himself, a mathematician who went crazy and killed himself and a small business owner who drove around a bulldozer and killed himself

there's an anon samefagging in this thread who seems obsessed with this idea that the penguin meme becoming a big deal recently is solely a MAGA thing. it isn't.

If you can’t articulate what Herzog is aiming for as a film maker, as a human being, in this scene, then shut the fuck up about film you troglodyte faggot fucking homosexual. This is television and film. If you can’t defend your interpretation of a scene from television or film, get the fuck out of here you piece of shit. Or better yet go neck yourself with a spoon you fucking loser bitch.
